“With death, times stops, matter fades, present and future cease to exist, and only the past remains.” (Sergio González Bombardiere, 2019).
Upon death, the remaining body is disposed, the person is transformed and keeps living through the ones who remain, in the form of memory, image, and blood. Their past, and the way it molded our lives and destiny, is a perduring reflection of their existence.
Sergio says of this album: “On Wednesday January 6, 2021 my father, Sergio González Bombardiere, passed away suddenly. From one moment to the next, I found myself making phone calls, answering messages, writing obituaries, and making funeral arrangements. We buried my father on Friday, I went home afterwards with certain relief that he had already received a proper funeral and that it was now time for us to grief. On that weekend, while trying to cope with this new reality, I went to my studio, and having no idea what to say or do, I wrote the song Per Aspera Ad Astra”
