ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The musical albums listed below (many still available) served as invaluable inspiration during the work on this novel.

From the story's birth as a detailed synopsis with illustrated sketches in 1991/92, up to the final stages of writing, music helped my brain get up to speed and visualize key scenes.

Music can induce images in the mind: expressions of transcendence, apocalypse... or the plain joy of being alive. I am indeed grateful that music exists.
