Azad, the drummer - with the appearance of an Inuit, an ancient people descending from the land of Thule north of Alaska - had marine eyes and a yellowish complexion, with thick blond hair almost tending to albino, he was of slim build, but every muscle was well defined like in an ice sculpture.He owned a drum kit made of some pieces of the greatest drummers that rock could produce in the "Jurassic" period: Bonzo and K. Moon, respectively drummer of Led Zeppelin and The Who.There he had recovered in old recording studios and from various collectors who jealously guarded them in enormous glass cases, with him they began to live and pulsate and recreate those sounds that he loved so much.His drum kit, other than from these pieces of rock history, was completed with various percussions of different ethnic groups such as African or Indian drums, wonders of other cultures but which had the same function to create a cathartic and enveloping rhythmic carpet.Azad was the heart of the group and gave rhythm and pulsations, never banal, to their music to the battle cry of qailertertang, Inuit god of time.His symbol was the circle. He had chosen it because in his cosmosonic thought it represented perfection, completeness, sonic union, everything that has no break or censorship.As an emblem of that which has neither an end nor a beginning, formed by a single line whose ends rejoin to cancel each other out.For him the circle represented the primordial substance of sound, impalpable and transparent, uniform and undifferentiated.Therefore a symbol of the principle from which everything originates and to which everything returns.His instruments were arranged almost like a sacred place, where all the material and spiritual energies converge in a single point: music.Ian, who was an American Indian from Red Rock, proud of it as in his aquiline features that distinguished him, had the eyes of his land and the body of a bear when it rises to attack. He owned one of Jaco Pastorius' basses and was the soul of the group.He had chosen the square as his symbol, which for him represented the squaring of sonic matter, or rather the regularization of sonic matter that by its nature would have remained shapeless and chaotic.Therefore as a symbol of definition and delimitation, like a sacred enclosure of a temple, the foundation of the conjunction of the four symbolic cardinal points.If the circle represented perfection for Mars, the square then represented justice for Ian.Ian's square gave a sense of justice to Mars' perfection, succeeding in the materialization of ideas by giving them shapes and graces.Their fusion therefore laid the foundations of the sound of life and of the yogyety creature that slowly and patiently chaotically took shape.
