about

As Brian Eno said, the task of art is to show the beautiful world. Art, of course, is different, and these days many musicians of different directions respond to current events. I am close to the idea that in difficult times the most important thing is to save yourself. But if you save, then where? Ambient as spatial music can help the most - to create a new space where you can put your inner self and make it feel safe.

The name of my sketch is the Latin name for white willow. Wherever I have been in the summer since childhood, there are a lot of such trees growing along the steep banks of the Oka. Their roots stick together the earth, which has been trying to slide into the river for decades. Every time I go to the river or to the abandoned pioneer camp nearby, I pass through a forest of these willows and their carved leaves scattered everywhere. Huge white willows for me are always associated with summer, the sun and the river. It would be nice to be there and think of something serene.

This track is a part of Jiva project.
Jiva is a project of the «Ветер в Ивах» publishing house, within the framework of which we publish musical sketches every morning, designed to bring the listener back to life, to a calm contemplation of oneself and the world. No matter what is happening around, no matter what is disturbing inside, return to the real life hidden in everything that is.
