Part 1. Other (Belgium / Kallo / 15.04.2013)

All performers are getting together to make an arrangement to start the piece. They are start meditating individually: they shouldn't do anything together, it's just important to be together in order to start feeling each other. It's starting point of piece. Then they are going apart in free directions (cellist and flutist are in a visibility range close enough from each other).

Meditation techniques:
It's important to focus on a situation here and now, no outside thoughts can get into your mind.

Close your eyes. Control your thoughts.
Try slow down your stream of thoughts.
Stop thinking.
Control your thoughts again.
Try slow down your stream of thoughts.
Stop thinking.

Start to play your score keeping of right state of mind. If you need to restore your concentration relax, take your time. After the ending your score go to starting point and wait for all musicians will get back...

Part 2. It (Germany / Cologne / 03.05.2013)

The second part is a live performance in concert hall with previously recorded video projection. It's necessary to have a full darkness in the concert hall — not only for projection quality reason, but mostly for comfort feeling of performers. The silent in a concert hall supposed to be signal to begin video projection. Musicians should start meditating the same way how it was at beginning of first part. The performers memories control the time of piece sounding, try to get as much memories as you can from that past performance.

Another important: musicians are independent from each other (except few fragments that you can see in the score). Performers should concentrate only on their own activity and take away all outside actions and sounds, especially their own past performance sounding on video. Make it clear: performers should not look at video screen...

Hi!

I am a psychologist who creates music to help you to overcome your bad times and give the hope that it’s gonna be alright.

Every created track describes a significant mental state and the way how you may feel the music inside of your heart when the world seems to be unfair to you. 

All the tracks have the “Anti-Manipulation” effect which makes you stronger and more confident on a subtle psychological level, leading you from the bottom states of the mind to the high and positive attitudes.

Feel the beat and it will reveal you the new shining facets of yourself! 

It is the way of the legendary Phoenix bird – to get free from any manipulations and pain of the past.

Awake now and live your splendid life!

"The focus of my recent compositions is the attempt to enter a state of observation and non-interference with the life of "sound creatures", emerging seemingly on their own in the process of writing music. These creatures have each their own features, demeanor, character, and voice. They decide independently what to do at each moment, where to "turn there heads", what sound to produce; they communicate with each other. These "creatures" determine, or even "decide", what the music will sound like in the end."
(Anna Romashkova, 2016)
