Beauty 05:36
While I’m Crafting body language Scratching depth in surfaces Half blue And just old, [Enough. Waving bitterness.] Although With my birthright to shake Permanent conclusions, Half mortal Αnd just intoned, I’m forging anonymity Bravely cutting through, Half surreal And just drunk, I still need Τhe imperfection of Beauty.
2.
Lie 09:31
While I do lie Through my teeth, An arrogant spectrum Of low profile suggestions Can push higher Than a protest walk Or a fiddle share Through the channels Of self-hatred. But then again A suggestive lie May, for moral purposes, Transform itself Into a subjective truth.
3.
Honesty 06:02
In all honesty And rigorous concern, I’ve set for triumph. Bored of survival memes And reconciliation. Of safety paradigms And plausible reassurances. When the dark within Reflects the chaos above I’ll be in it for the ride. Pardon me, And pardon my imagination. A nature that is still Is a grave mistake. And if triumph is but a folly, How blessed to be A meaningful fool.
4.
Proximity 14:36
Proximity Lacks the essential loss Of contact. Therefore it is non dimensional. Presence Shatters thought and space Into micro-pieces of memory. But makes them non fictional. Possibility Has the lifeless spine Of thought-forms. Its presence Holds close proximity To our understanding of life. Therefore Our belief in doom Is categorically passionate.
5.
Summer’s symmetry: The chaos within. An upward upset. Pull yourself out of a certain depression: The stigma of a world That means well But acts in self-defence. Autumn’s epiphany: Emerge from dust. In furious involvement And a grounding rage. In hope. In tears.

about

"Five Nocturnes For Immersion" is an extremely personal album. It was born from an intensive battle with shadows and boundaries I’ve set for myself. It’s a triumph of human will, an upward move, an epiphany.

Musically, it’s my first attempt in sound design and electronic synthesis. There’s a modular synthesizer system programmed to battle chaotic patterns, field recordings that caress an old piano played at low speed, spooky drones for a night in, prayers that are being whispered by ghosts, and many other experiments with sound.

"Five Nocturnes For Immersion" will be soon available in a very special and limited edition of 25 tapes, with handwritten short poems made specifically to accompany each track of the album.

I recommend listening with a good pair of headphones. If you try to focus on each sound, this album can be used for meditation and even have light psychedelic effects for people who have a long experience with meditation.
