about

Long ago the ballroom era came and went. With it's departure so left the memories many used to hold on to. Then one day it all came back. Here are the first fragments of The Forgotten Ballroom.

This album series is a collaborative effort between the likeminded creators and friends whom I wished to work with. I hope you enjoy.

Act I (A+B): The first act is like a wonderous daydream. Recollections of the old days are plenty and everything seems to be going well. May the ballroom forever be eternal.

Act II (C+D): The second act is where things begin to change for the worse. Signs of aging are noticed throughout the empty dancehall and you begin to wonder if time even works in here. The sounds of recollection now ring with an echo of bewilderment.

Act III (E+F): The third act is where things fall apart. The ballroom has began to rot and any semblance of clear memories has become distorted. Happy memories of dancing and eating, pure unbridled joy have morphed completely. The ballroom is being forgotten and nothing can save it.

Act IV (G+H): The ballroom has started to decay. Slowly forgotten by anyone and everyone yet minor melodies still echo on. Stars shine less and less while the dancers lose their will to dance. The story will come to a close soon.

Act V (I+J): This truly is the end…
