I’m so pleased to present the cover artwork for “Phantasmagoria”. Created by Leszek Bujnowski, the image features a being draped in the same juxtaposed skin as the earth surrounding it, covered in the duality of dark and light, and reflecting on the orb it holds. Orbs hold a significance with the imagery of Kan Wakan, they are the gravity of ideas.

Phantasmagoria is a haunted story, a dream-state - tall and obtuse, a movement through rooms, where walls are windows and doors swing enter/exit on whim-ful moments, making sense as it's path unfurls yet perplexing to explain upon reflection.

After having pulled together several of the songs that have become this album, this word resonated with me. It fit so naturally to their myriad arches, allowing the conceptual, the through-story and the sonic movement of ideas permission to weave across each space like the path was marked on a map. As it grew, Phantasmagoria was the hallway, the doors that glued each room to the other. The word embodies the subconscious path that flows through each piece of music, and their unique physics. And in these songs, each guest becomes a curator - a storyteller giving the room maths by which to explain that ebb - that change of state and the metamorphosis of grief into hope.
