Some define the Alisei as gentle winds. Probably because they blow at a soft speed, at around 16 nodes.

It is also true that they find their strength in their constancy.

These characteristics, combined, permitted the great sailors of the 16th century to proceed in their explorations.

Something similar occurs while searching for a force capable of sustaining creativity that wants to expand in unknown territories. A force that helps not to give up during a dead calm or to sink in a violent storm.

Get back on course. In English,Aliseiis translated as trade winds. It seems that the etymology of this lemma comes from the ancient form 'tread' (path, itinerary) rather than the modern 'trade.'

In Alisei's music,there is a sustaining trait. On the one hand, it is recovering the thread of past experiences. On the other hand, it is to wind a wire toward something you do not even imagine, but that operates with a magnetic attraction.
