X-Terra is an avant-garde meta-folk album for two instruments: the piano and the human voice. Expect a provoking retelling of old stories, removed from their supposed natural places into the undefined but real world of the narrators, in the present tense.
In X-Terra the present enslaves the past. Historically, in this present tense, elves reside.
