The idea of my new album is shifting from scary and unusual changes to awareness, positivity and acceptance.
Everything starts with a mystery. Then the tension increases.
The darkness comes unexpectedly. The only thing that helps is knowing that there’s Light somewhere far away.
You’re walking towards this Light through the dark forest.
And over there, in the forest, feeling dark and lonely, you come to realizing the deep meaning of things.
So once you wake up and see the sunrise.
You are anticipating the coming of spring, and you see green leaves, hear the first droplets of water coming from the snow thawing. You feel the magic like you used to when you were little.
You’ve changed. And you already know that wonderful and unexpected changes are ahead, even though they may seem hard right now.
And then, the summer comes. It is bright and sunny.
In this album, I’ve started experimenting with sounds and styles.
I got to like ambient. It is slow and plaintive music, putting you in a trance state, the state of flow.
I felt like creating something that immerses you in this mysterious space of sound.
I also like power metal, so I added electric guitar in some pieces. I like guitar riffs, so mixing of styles came naturally. I hope I achieved a harmonious sound.
The joy and the positive drive are reflected in my faster music. The last two songs turned out very energetic, even resembling dance music.
I’ll be glad to receive your comments and feedback.
