The Darkness Book is part of a four Books collection: The Darkness Book, The Forgotten Book, The Luminescence Book and The Visions Books. These Four Books, are a kind of diary where we can find a great music material reservoir. This material is based on daily feelings trough visions, sounds, etc.. The hand which writes chooses the right place and the right book where the sound / feeling / word must be placed. The Darkness Book evokes particularly personal situations related with feelings of injustice and incomprehensible situations or facts. The Darkness Book is essentially a record of memories where the sadness and the indignation embrace an incredulous image of the world. These three pieces constitute a unit, where the nucleus of the musical discourse is centered on departure feelings.
