Matthew Smawfield a.k.a. Saraswa found in Nepal a magical plant called Oryx which he mixed with Mediterranean magical drink Suda and so revived Radonich's pictures which you can see¹ on Bayka cover. Bayka (in Serbian language means Fairy Tale) came to this world as a sum of magical roads covered with the smell of Saraswati goddess' hair where with each new step (there are 9) you enter into a different bayka. Take a walk here or here.

¹ if you listen to the tracks in Windows Media Player, set the visualization to Album Art, and the images for each road should come up

To tame the wood is not easy though many hands can do. But to make the wood sing the heavenly melody, a rare can do. A rare one as Ferron Valerio, maker of magical instruments with a workshop in Cremona, Italy. Ferron creates the charisma between beauty of the wood and beauty of the sound. Just like a true photographer: a good composition with a good story behind. In this world of fake beauty, this luthier is a true treasure. His instruments blossom in this late autumn forest. His instruments, carefully made by his young hands, magically transfer the soul of the tamed wood, with the heart of the player, into the immortal memory of the universe.

Recently this luthier has dedicated one of his instruments to me. It is a carved head viola, figure of my head. On Valerio's blog page you can preview photographs of the viola.
