Hello there!
If everything goes as planned, I expect my new album to be completely finished by May or June. Most of the compositions are recorded, mixed, and mastered, but I still need to write and record two or three additional tracks to complete it. I will begin this last part of the work next month. Meanwhile, you can listen to some excerpts from the finished pieces here:
The album will be a mix of Neo-Classicism, Minimalism and Avant-Garde. Some pieces are soft and melodic, while others are hard and experimental, connecting with noise and industrial music. I have been experimenting with contrasts in the music, such as extreme pianissimo and fortissimo sounds, very low or high tones, etc. Most of the album is recorded with violin, cello, harp, flute, or other conventional acoustic instruments, but on some occasions these instruments are prepared (altered with implements) or unusual instrumentation is used (giant tam-tam, bass waterphone, musical glasses, tape loops, etc.).
The album will last 50–60 minutes and will contain 12–14 tracks. It will include the string quartet «Tunguska» (released as an EP in September 2009), but in a new mix, as well as a new acoustic version of the piece «After All These Years…». The rest of the tracks are new. No cover pieces, no collaborations.
Some titles: «The Monster», «Minuet For Planet, Asteroids and Comet», «12 Megatons», «Yersinia XIV», «Shinigami’s Dreams»… The album will be definitely titled «No More Faith». Personal motives…
So long…
