about

«I've always wondered if something can really be expressed through music. The sound has no meaning, it penetrates the soul, bypassing thoughts, and it is not entirely clear whether it can reflect my life. After all, I live for the most part in thoughts, in restless cycles, in search of possibilities, in attempts to single out particulars from the whole and mold the whole from parts.
I dedicated this small album to one of my thoughts. This idea is that when you give up the intention to say something, in music it happens by itself. This is one of the few things that inspire me - music does not depend on you and lives as if through you, it is neither a particular nor a whole. It's not something you can spin around in your head day after day.
The compositions consist of combinations of free improvisation on the piano and sound cycles, small repetitive fragments that create complex rhythmic patterns when superimposed. You can take this as a metaphor for repetitive thoughts from which there is no way out within the mind. But this is not music itself, but only the space in which it exists, being free from the mind. It can be heard in between.
This album is an attempt to find your life in endless cycles of longing and looking back at the past. I want someone to know that I still love her, even though she is no longer there, but who will hear it exactly as it sounds inside? Who will hear the lullaby I wanted to sing to my unborn child? Left alone, I am forced to wander among the repetitions of myself in an endless dream, in the reflections of countless mirrors without the possibility of seeing myself among them. Therefore, I no longer try to say something, I trust myself to music, and even though I don’t exist, even though it exists. Let sound be the only reality among illusions.»
