Liner Notes:

Invidaleus

invidaleus (in-vi-dã-lé-us) n. 1 The undivided self. The conflict of self and other in resolve. The state of unity regarding individuals and their species described as one (from L. “unitatem”). The state of balance between seemingly contradictive terms. adj. 2 One is said to be in ‘invidaleus’ when one is at rest (and peace) and a balance is being actively maintained between two seeming opposites.

Heat… Sex… Passion… Life…

This… our four part single passage into material existence. Identical to every one of us. We are born of, consumed with and engaged in… desire itself. We are one world, we are one family… we are one people. Born between darkness and death… we exist briefly in separate forms in this glittering in-between. Sparkling and innumerable as the stars themselves cast across a single sky. Diversity is our beauty… diversity is our strength… diversity is our birthright. Our differences compliment each other as the day compliments the night… as darkness cannot be without the light. Our diversity is… our unity. We are many… and… we are one.

This four part work is dedicated as a single piece to all past, present and future. To every one of us in the human family. Now and always… one.

With love,

- R.
