Groundless is the result of uncountable hours of work and joy under the belief that music has to be created merely out of emotions, in order to touch the mind of the listener and the creators themselves. Producing this recording involved the hands and the help of many people, not all of them listed here, who supported this project in different ways to make it possible, sometimes not even aware of it. To all of you, we are very grateful. We hope you enjoy this album as much as we do. Your donation will serve to support this and future works of groundless music.
