“Mask” is a concept album based on an autobiographical story.
It’s a chronological representation of human life. It starts innocently when we are born.
“We are born to love.
We learn to hate.
It’s up to us what we reach for!“
“We are expected by the outside world but also by our parents to prove ourselves and to strive more and more for a better position in society. Either financially or in terms of prestige. As a result, we are blinded by reality and lose sight of what really matters in life. This can even lead to despair. Take off your mask and choose for love. This can lead to a conversion to faith. Therefore you are filled with love and positivity. Take your responsibility and manage your mistakes and look positively to the future.“
BIO:
The Foundation is founded by Ron Lammers in the late 90’s he started with Sietse Dijkstra and Marcel Kerkdijk to compose and record some progsongs. Unfortunally due personal circumstances they had to split up. In the meantime Ron Lammers started Xymphonia Records and released albums from Plackband and Timelock. In 2020 Ron bought a proper keyboard and he composed a concept album “Mask.”
