Ancient presences hover above us, silent guardians of a forgotten wisdom. They point toward paths leading to serenity, though they know few will dare to follow. They belong to the subtle world — a fragile, translucent realm interwined with our own, like a reflection upon water — perceptible only though a distant feeling: nsotalgia.

It is a nostalgia that dwells within us, an echo inscribed in our very genes, yet time has sought to erase it. Sounds for a Fragile World was born from the desire to awaken that buried memory, to give voice once more to what trembles beyond the threshold of the visible.

This adagio is not merely a song of remembrance, but an invitation to embace fragility as an essential state of being. For to live is to suffer, yet also to be reborn — and within that awarness, within the very fracture of the world, lies an unexpected form of solemn grace.
