Description

The opening pages unfold as a restless dialogue between the living and the dead, a narrator who declares his own death while sipping coffee in a dim‑lit café. Fragmented verses, whimsical prose, and a cascade of cultural references—Goethe, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky—create a mosaic that feels both conspiratorial and theatrical. This self‑aware extravaganza balances sly irony with a genuine yearning for sensation, inviting the listener into a world where “real details” and surreal imagination clash in bright, jagged strokes.

As the pieces wander through cinema halls, school corridors, and the smoky interiors of early‑twentieth‑century cafés, they summon a mood of decadent curiosity and quiet rebellion. The language is lyrical yet sharp, the tone simultaneously reverent to the avant‑garde past and impatiently modern. Listeners will find themselves tracing the echo of ghostly voices, tasting the perfume of forgotten salons, and savoring a literary collage that celebrates both the pleasure of excess and the thin line between art and obsession.
