Cruising

*Bill Evans Never Died*

Contrary to popular belief, Bill Evans never actually died in 1980. He just grew tired of reality and quietly slipped away to Norway. Somewhere in the misty fjords, he met a reclusive guy named Varg — you might’ve heard of him — and the two bonded instantly over their shared love of melancholy, minor chords, and existential dread.

Now they spend their nights wandering through ancient wooden churches, arguing about chord voicings and tremolo picking. By day, they record unholy jams in a candlelit cabin, mixing black metal’s icy fury with Bill’s haunting jazz harmonies. Imagine *Kind of Blue* played on a detuned guitar through a dungeon reverb pedal — that’s their sound.

Locals whisper about strange music echoing through the pines — piano lines that weep, blast beats that pray. They call the project "BurzEvans", though Bill insists it should’ve been “Sunday at the Inferno with Satan.”

Nobody knows if it’s true. But somewhere out there, in the eternal Norwegian winter, a jazz ghost and a black metal hermit are probably nodding in perfect, dissonant unison.

Burning Churches with Bill Evans in Norway

24 instrumental compositions explore themes of transformation, alienation, and existential anxiety through the lens of lo-fi aesthetics and dark trap. The warmth of Roland's analog synthesizers contrasts with the cold absurdity of modern existence — like Kafka's characters trapped in endless bureaucratic corridors, sounds get stuck between the walls of a tiny room.
The album is a diary of sleepless nights where the boundaries of reality blur, a human transforms into sound, and sound becomes a document of internal trial. Recorded on obsolete equipment in an impossible space, it becomes a testament to how creativity is born not despite limitations, but because of them.
Each track is a small confession, written while waiting for something inevitable that must happen before dawn. © 2025 Legenki.
