1. Abílio Ezequiel isn't a real person, there are real people with that name, but this guy is not one of them. The point of his story is to draw you in to the world I have created and make it feel more tangible. If you aren't interested in the story, that's fine, but I think the music works best when you get in to the atmosphere of the world.
2. Of course I wrote the pieces, that's also made perfectly clear in the notes. The only thing I didn't do was the production, which was handled magnificently by our own Parsifal.
3. The bandoneón (spelling error admitted), in the context of this fictional world, became popular on the trading routes between England and Argentina. It's a popular instrument in Argentine Tango ensembles (check out Astor Piazzolla for a real life reference), and I thought it would be logical to conclude that its ease of portability, double manual and large octave range would make it a fine choice. But that was retroactive reasoning, I initially chose it simply because I thought it sounded fantastic.
tl;dr: read the liner notes

4. Most of my releases do not have covers, mainly because I don't find them essential to the music. In the unlikely event someone orders a CD-R, I will create a cover on the spot for each order, if it ever gets to the point where this isn't feasible, then I will standardise one. Generally, I believe the range of imagery offered by the music itself more than balances out the lack of cover art.
I think that takes care of that, for now.
