A few snippets:

'HoM: In the previous effort you offered us a concept album about that
“factory of dreams” that your name refers to. What is “A Strange Utopia”
about?

A Strange Utopia is a collection of bizarre worlds that live inside my
head, or maybe just decided to pop out as I was writing the music. Call
them Utopias, or visual scifi-ish ideas...

'HoM: One of the things I would remark about your sound is the majesty
with which you perform your rich compositions. How long does it usually
take you to write and compose a track? And most important, do you feel
capable of exceeding yourself again? You are reaching quite a high
level…

...I think I’ll be evolving constantly, even though sometimes one must
try to be as open as possible to raw ideas and the original
roots....everything is raw by then, more honest. But evolving in terms
of expertise in mixing and structuring is always good. Evolving may also
imply a change of direction, like it happened with Factory of Dreams'
