The Concept
Choice, the connection between all conscious entities that surround us. The right, power or opportunity to shape, create or alter all that is.
The concept behind the music and the artwork is based on choice. Every album of the limited unique EDition of "Exivious" comes with its own unique mini poster. The artwork is built up with lines which represent our life's paths, our own endless stream of choices. The first album copy starts off with one line, one path, one choice. Every album adds a line, illustrating how our universe builds from one simple choice into a web of never ending choices.
'Waves of thought, washing upon the shores of our collective spirit' - taken from the lyrics for 'Waves Of Thought' that never made it on the album.
