A flight over the most beautiful landscapes of Heaven.
Quite early I was startled out of my sleep by a tour guide’s knocking on the door, with an invitation for an excursion in the clouds. We fly from one landscape to another carried by the rhythms of revolving sequences narrating surprising scenes. Empyrean valleys, mountains of white cloud, lakes in colours I couldn’t have imagined before… Heaven opens its most magnificent gates: majestic organ tones and cosmic synthscapes supported by angelic voices come rolling down, in a mix which dazzles my emotions…
I’m ecstatic beyond awareness and I allow the repetitive spheres to flow me from one cloud to another.
