The hard work is dedicated to William Blake. He was a great genius of English culture, poet, painter, inventor. A multifaceted genius, a sort of Leonardo da Vinci in the late 1700s.
William Blake is pretty much an icon of rock music, a staple of rock thought, the ideologue of this music.
From his famous phrase "If the doors of perception were Cleansed, every thing would Appear to man as it is, infinite" The Doors took their name, Aldous Huxley wrote an essay "The doors of perception" which is a cornerstone of so-called Beat Generation, a movement started in the 50s and culminated in Woodstock with 69, and is still alive. And 'one of the greatest poets of all time, from his poem Jerusalem, set to music by Sir Parry in 900, was made into a hymn which is the national anthem alternative English.
The album title, obviously inspired by one of his paintings, it is BIG RED DRAGON. Subtitle: William Blake's vision. BIG RED DRAGON is also the title of the 12th track, a duet with Aurelio Fierro.
