This section accesses Alan Replica's room of wonders, odds and ends & souvenirs, of people, works, objects and events that have been a milestone, a reference, an inspiration, an enlightenment to me... This is my 'Dancing Fairy' 's place. I felt that, as in real life, however much we try not to, whereas what we produce is finally clean and ordered, we always tend to keep a little room that has a life of its own, where nothing must be tidied up too much, or you loose your landmarks somehow; a room used to store odd things, may it be how usually the main working room turns out with the passage of time; a room where inevitably you feel attracted to return, a blurred part of the world, favourable to creation, for as much as the mind needs to float in a daydream state, and not be disturbed by changes in the landscape... So, this is as much the 'junk room' I keep inside me, a collection of odds that fed my emotions. And by the way, a real room does exist at home, I call it 'The Sanctuary'; as a matter of interest, this room is where I work on my music. Ok, I'll try to shelve things a bit...
