A joint project of Petr and Dana Lightsey. The main inspiration for this peaceful and yet inquisitive album comes from three North American sacred spaces: Pawnee Buttes, Mesa Verde, and Devil's Tower. This is a CD which you can listen to attentively, put it on as you meditate, or use it as a background ambient music. Sit down comfortably in your chair, close your eyes, and enter the ancient worlds through the Archway...

This work is an imaginary confession of, in the words of Albert Camus, the naked one facing the Absurd. The main theme is peculiarity of life, when perceived from a certain angle. This concept album offers stories musically dressed up in strange suits and coats. Death, friendship, trust, relationships and other issues are explored bluntly and with a dose of humor.
