The Band says:

" The Praise of Folly part1 is the first of a two chapters, 21 minutes long ,composition inspired by Erasmus of Rotterdam essay Morie Encomium. It's a one-way journey through what we imagined could be the various representations of folly — from its visionary aspect to anger, but also irony and lightness in facing life. The entire song has been recorded live in one, continuous passage for three times and then we decided wich one had the best vibe as a whole, no comping between takes to chase perfection for each section of the song. We wanted to keep the performance and general sound of the main intruments as "real" and LIVE as possible. Then we added some layers to emphasize some passages"
