“AEAEA” is something more than just a well-crafted album… it’s an enchanting musical journey through atmospheric, intense, easy, harsh, dark & light places before you finally discover your personal Ithaki. “AEAEA” can be described as an artistic, imaginative and inspirational music gem… which addresses all the music lovers regardless of their personal taste in music.
