Migration
MIGRATION is a truly symphonic progressive rock gem, inspired by birdlife. The listeners journey is engulfed in the perils birds have to endure during their seasonal migration. From Take Off to The Trap: from the first wingbeat to the awaiting hunters on the homeland borders at the end of the return flight. In between moments of freedom and jeopardy, of rest and menacing exhaustion. Its not hard to see parallels with human migration patterns, when refugees try to find shelter from conflicts, poverty or climate changes.
