Today I want to share with you the joyful news about the release of a new album, a collaboration with my good friend Fedo aka Sergey Fedorov.
Let me start with the fact that a few months ago, when I was busy with volunteer work, I really missed the live communication with my close friends, everyone was going through hard times of bombing and daily air alerts. This period became a new reality for us, which everyone lived to the best of his or her ability to adapt to extreme conditions. At that time I suggested to Sergey to come to Kiev for a few weeks to help him get rid of the mental pressure and join us in helping the displaced people. Of course, this meeting was a great stress reliever and an opportunity to spend time in the studio. In just a week of studio work, we recorded material for our album.
I think musicians will understand if I say that it is very important to feel each other while working, when you create naturally and everything happens intuitively, lining up in the right musical sequence. It's especially nice to work with someone who is as committed to the music as you are. I also just recently learned about the creative path that Fedo went through, and I can tell you - it sounds like an incredible story from some of Tarantino's best films.
We spent the next weeks, after Sergey returned to Odessa, remotely finalizing the album, working out the details. As the arrangements were completed, I was involved in post-production.
I want to note that despite the events happening in our country, we were able to overcome the stress and bring the best part of ourselves to the music. I am sure, many years later we will listen to these works and remember the moments of our unity when real friendship and music become a healer of your body and soul.
I would like to say a few words about the artwork, which was created by a master of his craft and my good friend Elemental Source. The picture was made from a real photo, with Fedo and me strolling along the promenade of Odessa.
