The album cover of "Ink" is inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat, whose art is really close to the philosophy of writing and therefore of "ink".
So "Ink" becomes a sort of manifesto of things to say, as well as of the energy to try to say them. Parts of the songs in the album have then been used as soundtrack of the short movie "Ceremony" directed by Maria Arena and inspired by "La Voix Humane" of Jean Cocteau.
And Maria Arena produced 2 found footage videos of "Thank you?" and "Hear us now" that will be added to the CD version of the album.
