    A story of two people. With an excellent jazz singer from Bulgaria, Peter Salchev. And a virtuoso Greek jazz guitarist, Kostas Maginas.
    A dialogue between the human voice and the acoustic guitars and mandolin to be recorded on the spot. The transition from one tune to the other in this conversation, which is based on ten-known musical themes (such as the American gospel Amazin 'Grace, blues, traditional Irish ballads, folk songs of the 60s like Morning Dew, or arrangements of songs like Gershwin’s Summertime and the Balkan flavored improvisations of The Call), is so natural and smooth so that at some points it’s difficult to trace...
    Regarding the sound approach to the material, the guitar tunings are associated with Irish and Celtic music. The same applies to the visual approach.
    The whole atmosphere of the album is lyrical and airy, has something from a poem but also from reality. You'd think that the two of them striving to find a timbre, just let things happen. Maybe trying to capture a moment of truth here.
    Improvising, expanding the boundaries and inventing with music a new language just like cinema does with the images.
    Peter Salchev (voice)
    Kostas Maginas (acoustic guitars, mandolin)
