I had decided to travel the world. You see, I needed to find my muse. For no drought of ink, I realized I could wrest neither note nor phrase from my pen without this inspiration.
So I tried, first, a period of seclusion in the Amazon rainforest. I tried a long walk atop the Great Wall of China. I even tried a week's stay in an Alaskan igloo. And though I thought I had given up there - frozen and alone in my kingdom of ice - I did find my muse at last. I found her in Paris, France.
I was in the Palais Garnier, the Paris Opera House. I wanted to experience a masterful work in a place of real beauty. It was my final chance for redemption. Chopin's Op. 11 was playing before me and I was wholly entranced. Nothing else existed. I saw a ballet of hands dancing over the keys. I saw a triumphant salute of bows beckoning my enraptured gaze. And then, I saw something else. In the highest balcony to my right, something stole my attention. It was her. My Muse. I forgot where I was. I forgot my own name. And, for the first time in my life, I forgot about the music. She could not even see me but her power was clear and I knew that I needed her. That I wanted her.
And that's all there is to tell of our beginning. In the interminable fever since that moment, we have become one - an irrepressible force - and in our union, reborn, the grace of romantic era classical music against the fury of alternative rock: Galt Aureus.
Galt Aureus (pronounced: gault ore-e-us) is:
Saher - vocals, piano.
Susan - vocals, guitar.

Indeed, to a world that is built one mind at a time, either by raising citadels, inspiring those who do, or both.
I just received your new CD in the mail, it's always so satisfying and so rare that an album lives up to the one song you bought it for.... I can't wait so see what you come up with next.
Thank you very much for the Link Up & Sharing Your Music Nice to meet you through cyberlink! Keep up the Great Work! Wishes you All the Best in 2009! Enjoy your Week

So, my girlfriend received a copy of Citadels. She had never heard the music of Galt Aureus before. Just a few days later this is what she has to say(she posted this elsewhere and felt it inadequate to show to GA, but I think it was nice):
"Every time I listen to this album, I literally find something new or some new story in the lyrics. Our Own Versailles is currently my all-time favorite, but Citadels, Before The Fall, Spiral Stile, Eight, The Armada, and At Dawn are also my favorites (okay wow I just realized that I listed like, the entire album as my favorite songs. Way to go...okay...the whole freaking album is the best thing I've ever heard in my life and I'll swear to it...it's official...my former favorite band Chevelle has dropped to numero dos).
When you stare at the artwork you discover things that you never saw before. For example, today I just noticed the guillotine...I'm usually so observant. It's wonderful. The best way to describe it is like it's a collective symphony of poetic verse and romance that takes your breath away and makes you see all that is right with the world. That better? I feel so inadequate trying to describe such greatness. Galt Aureus combines lyrics that will make you do a double and even triple take, beautiful music chords, and raw emotion evident in Saher & Susan's voices that nearly bring tears to your eyes. Truly. WOW.
Know how to appreciate it, for it is true art."
This music has brought us closer together. (Yeah, we both write novel length comments hahaha)
I wish you could have seen the smile on my face when I saw the package in my mailbox. Even though I had heard all songs but Before the Fall, I wanted to listen through the entire album to get the progression up to that song. My girlfriend called during The Cavalcade. The tension kept building. Delayed gratification is nice. I finally listened to it; lyrics in hand. I was blown away. This was the missing link that perfected the album. The alternations between Susan/Saher singing to tell the story of lovers being pulled apart by the state and fighting back was a great experience.
At Dawn is my current favorite. The piano opening. The lyrics of a duel setting up for the faster, harder rock that starts with the title of the song. I love pieces that transition like this and make sense with the theme of the song.
Spiral Stiles and Our Own Versailles have both been favorites at one point since 9.9.9. I'm sure after I continuously listen to all your songs for a few years I'll settle on something! Then keep listening of course.
Thank you -- for being my favorite musical experience. The entirety of your music far surpasses anything I've listened to in my entire life.
I've rambled on a bit. I hope I didn't misinterpret anything too badly. I'm just ecstatic and had to share. :)
