Hope's Beautiful Daughters

Novo sodelovanje z glasbenikoma Katarino Juvančič in Dejanom Lapanjo, krasno novo druženje, veselje upodabljanja, potapljanja v zvoke in v zgodbe za njimi. Koluta-poganjalca, ki (naj) se nikdar ne ustavita, sta tisti kroglici, ki ju nosimo v svoji dlani - zame nista drugega kot rdeči -, ki ju čuvamo, grejemo na soncu, z njima sonce prižigamo. Posredno je album zakuhal Avguštin: "Upanje ima dve čudoviti hčerki," je rekel, in bilo je dovolj. "Njuni imeni sta jeza in pogum; jeza zaradi stanja stvari in pogum videti, da naj ne ostanejo, kakršne so."
Novemu izjemnemu albumu sem likovno primaknila zunanjo in notranjo stran ovitka, podobo knjižice in ploščka ter risano-pisane črke.

A new album by singers-songwriters Katarina Juvančič and Dejan Lapanja (who invited some prominent Scottish musicians and storytellers to collaborate at the project) started with two little red marbles in a hand, two entities which became a dynamism and a forever spinning life force of movements and change. Anger and courage are their names, according to Augustine of Hippo, and they were the initial idea that brought Hope's Beautiful Daughters to life. "Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are anger and courage; anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain the way they are."

Rosa Luxemburg is one of the protagonists in the album, and her are the words which have accompanied me long after this work ... "I am at home in the entire world, where there are clouds and birds and human tears. (...) In spite of the snow and frost and loneliness, we believe - the titmice and I - in the coming of spring! And if out of impatience I don't live through it, then don't forget that on my gravestone nothing is to appear except that  t s v e e - t s v e e ..."
