about

Antes de ser nombre de un instrumento, la palabra monóculo se aplicó a quienes tenían un solo ojo. Así, en un soneto redactado a principios del siglo XVII, Góngora pudo hablar del Cyclops galán de Galatea y de los Arimaspos, hombres notables por tener sólo un ojo en la mitad de la frente. Vivedo en perpetua guerra con los grifos, especie de monstruos alados, para arrebatarles el oro que éstos extraen de las entrañas de la tierra y que defienden con no menos codicia que la que ponen los Arimaspos en despojarlos.

"The Book of Imaginary Beings" is the collaborative musical rendition of the book by Jorge Luis Borges. Each being in the book will have its own track & quotation taken from the books original text. Our intention is that these tracks be listened to at random - the intention Borges had for the book.
