i would like to thank James Merry for his involvement in helping me create the fossora world .
"i am grateful for those incredibly precious 13 years together which have been filled with enormous joy , creativity , deep mature talks , your fertile and generous nature has truly enriched my life and you are such a miraculous friend . and us going through all the possible different job titles in the phone book together is absolutely in the spirit of the mercurial progressive energy we have shared . i´m blessed to walk through this life with you"
the title to the song ATOPOS is inspired by what roland barthes describes so magnificently in his book “a lover’s discourse”
it is about the unclassifiable OTHER , the one which we love or hate , who is the OTHER ?
as it says in the lyrics :
“are these not just excuses to not connect?
our differences are irrelevant
our union is stronger than us”
warmthness
