"Every dreamed place can be visited". You know you've heard that phrase somewhere. Or maybe you dreamed of it, which is more appropriate.
That's why I don't even need to present you in great detail what VIA: Voyage Imagination Agency is. You will see the name, and you will know what it is about.
In this work, we will see the poetic account of one of VIA's clients, and we will learn about the journey that person took inside herself. Am I being too abstract? Is the poetic story about yourself?
VIA can take you to the most beautiful places you have ever imagined. And the darkest ones too. But you know it.
It all starts with the call (Voyage's Call). That's when you realize that the real world is just a curtain that hides the stage at the bottom of the chasm.
Do you remember the first time you traveled? When did you learn to fly inside yourself? (Flight Discovery). Or does the flight always bring a taste of discovery with each journey?
You may have walked the legendary and ancestral Silk Road when Egypt was still young (The Silk Road).
Or it may have been in feudal Japan at the time that cherry blossoms blossomed into the ancient samurai (Mono-no-Aware).
Since not everything is a flowery road, it is very likely that you took the opportunity to go to the tombstone to visit a dear and missed loved one with whom you have unresolved issues (Tea on a Gravestone).
What if the ancient pagan world of the Celts is perhaps more of an experience than just the fruit of imagination (Pagan Shadow)?
But, of course, imagined worlds can also prove to be as real as any place we believe to exist (Valfenda Framework).
There will be a time when the inside trip will give way to the outside trip (Voyage's End). But about this that you call "real life", there is not much to say about it. Imagination is real. Or did you imagine your own imagination?

"Todo lugar sonhado pode ser visitado". Você sabe que já ouviu essa frase em algum lugar. Ou, talvez, tenha sonhado com ela, o que é mais adequado.
É por isso que eu nem preciso te apresentar muito detalhadamente o que é a VIA: Voyage Imagination Agency. Você verá o nome, e saberá do que se trata.
Nessa obra, veremos o relato poético de um dos clientes da VIA, e saberemos como foi a viagem que essa pessoa fez no interior de si mesmo. Estou sendo muito abstrato? Será que o relato poético é sobre você mesmo?
VIA pode te levar aos lugares mais belos que já imaginou. E aos mais sombrios também. Você sabe disso.
Tudo começa com o chamado (Voyage's Call). É quando você percebe que o mundo real é apenas uma cortina que esconde o palco no fundo do abismo.
Lembra-se da primeira vez que viajou? Quando aprendeu a voar dentro de si? (Flight Discovery). Ou será que, a cada jornada, o voo sempre traz um sabor de descoberta?
Você pode ter caminhado pela lendária e ancestral Rota da Seda quando o Egito ainda era jovem (The Silk Road).
Ou pode ter estado no Japão feudal no momento em que as cerejeiras floresciam para os antigos samurais (Mono-no-Aware).
Como nem tudo são flores, é bem provável que você tenha aproveitado para ir até a lápide visitar um ente querido e saudoso com quem tem assuntos não resolvidos (Tea on a Gravestone).
E se o antigo mundo pagão dos celtas talvez lhe for mais uma vivência do que mero fruto da imaginação (Pagan Shadow)?
Mas, claro, mundos imaginados também podem se mostrar tão reais quanto qualquer lugar que acreditamos existir (Valfenda Framework).
Haverá o momento em que a viagem de dentro dará lugar à viagem para fora (Voyage's End). Mas sobre isso que vocês chamam “vida real”, não há muito o que dizer. A imaginação é real. Ou você imaginou a própria imaginação?

Our New Earth (HD)
by Sirkis/Bialas IQ

supported by 6 fans who also own “VIA”

This double album was another Black Friday hot deal. It has resided on my wishlist since its release, so it was high time to buy it. Here we've got two accomplished musicians and composers in a symbiosis, creating something real stunning, which doesn't fit readily into one of the established genres. Sylwia Białas' vocals are the icing on the cake, no matter if she sings scat, or her own lyrics in her native language, Polish - one of the world's most beautiful languages. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Surya Namaskar (HD)
by Dewa Budjana feat. Jimmy Johnson & Vinnie Colaiuta

supported by 6 fans who also own “VIA”

Vinnie Colaiuta isn't a drummer I've taken much notice of, despite his monsterously expansive career across the decades. His phenomenal skill is shown off admirably here. A classy album, spanning genres but with a proggy, fusion basis. Peter Jones

Harvest
by Ciccada

supported by 6 fans who also own “VIA”

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii

Entranced Earth
by The Myrrors

Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016

Vol.1: Tales from Vertexia

Spaced-out krautrock and dizzying drone from this Irish band that packs a punch—the sound of being caught in an asteroid belt. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 9, 2023

Viento Bravo
by Melange

Chugging, organ-laden motorik-psych from Spanish group Melange with lockstep rhythms and kaleidoscopic vocal harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 13, 2017

The Stone House (HD)
by Wingfield Reuter Stavi Sirkis

supported by 6 fans who also own “VIA”

Well, Tarasque is a bit, innit? But the whole album just has its own ... space ... universe? ... that it defines and owns. If you thought these musicians knew what the word "boundary" meant, think again. This is well outside. Experimental jams. Gorgeous production. Peter Jones
