According to an old legend, the blue Beryll (aquamarine) comes from the treasure of a mermaid. Blue creates an atmosphere of tranquility. It is the colour of inspiration and infinity. Colour and Music are phenomena of vibration. The music on this album has been inspired by the magic of the aquamarine. It is a combination of hardness and translucence, gentleness and strength, serenity and depth. (Friedemann)
