Markus Stockhausen, Lino Capra Vaccina, Alireza Mortazavi

'When I first had the chance to listen at Markus Stockhausen performing live at Conservatorio Nicolini in Piacenza, some years ago, I immediately had the intuition of this musical meeting. I was sure that the poetry of Lino Capra Vaccina will melt with Markus’ one in a completely intuitive, spontaneous way, creating something really unusual, really new. When, some months later, I had the chance to produce then meet the great Santoor player Alireza Mortazavi for the album Hamdelaneh (with Markus, on Dark Companion DC09) I was also sure that Alireza could add his immaginative vision making the music in this album even more unique, I desired so much to add to our Dark Companion catalog, this cooperation music, and the project took a special place in my heart. Now that is done, reality surpassed my most adventurous dream. This is an album of Free Music by some dear friends who are really Free Spirits. I asked my dearest friend, songwriter, musician and music critic Paul Roland to write the liner notes to this masterpiece.' - Max Marchini
