‘A Silent Sound’ is the rock band founded by Tom Luchies. ‘a Silent Sound’ takes you on travels far beyond what you know and everything that you’ve ever seen. While embarking on a journey across the world in 2015, visiting places like Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand, the inspiration was found for the beginning of ‘a Silent Sound.’

The upcoming album ‘COMPASS’ is all about the journey of a young man to a once lost place among the sea shores. To fulfil his father’s last wish, he needs to leave all behind and experience the world and all it has got to offer him.

Just as the planet once used to be, this album is without boundaries and restrictions and is the complete image of such a journey along unknown places, new experiences, the beauty of the world itself and all the other sides of the coin. It will never be easy to achieve something you truly believe in, but it is never impossible.

‘COMPASS’ is the debut album and will be released with FREYA RECORDS. Release date will be released as soon as it’s known.

4040 (Chavdar Petkov) is a Bulgarian guitar player, singer and producer, born on September 3, 1974 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He has a Master’s degree in Theology and completed an online Master degree program using Pro Tools in Berklee College of music.
4040’s musical style is rock and his songs are structured around melodious vocal lines as well as guitar riffs and solos. He performs his songs in English in order to reach a broader audience of rock music fans worldwide.
In 2012, 4040 and his friend and business partner Ivan Kirov founded the music production and sound recording studio Perfect Records www.perfectrecords.bg, where 4040 recorded, mixed and mastered his album “The World Has Changed” – it has 14 rock tracks, including 12 songs and 2 instrumentals.

Career

4040 was only eight when he started playing the classic guitar and at fourteen he became a member of the school rock band White Rose as a lead guitar and vocals. The band recorded a number of songs as Hold Your Tongue, White Rose and Do You Wanna be A Train? They played in concerts and live performances in Bulgaria and became one of the best at the time. Striving for perfection, 4040 played the guitar twelve hours a day, constantly looking for new techniques and sounds, regardless of the scarce information available. Back then, his style was influenced by the legends Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Resolved to compose, record and produce his own music, 4040 created his own home Pro Tools based studio and started online classes at the Berklee College of music. He accumulated more and more knowledge, experience and equipment in the years. In 2010, 4040 started composing the songs for his project The World Has Changed. He selected and recorded 14 demo versions at home, playing all the instruments: guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals and programmed the drums and percussion.
In 2012, when Perfect Records was founded, in which 4040 is a partner, he started recording the album, inviting some of the best and most talented musicians in Bulgaria to take part. Lead by the desire for perfection of even the smallest detail, 4040 completed the final mastering of the album The World Has Changed on June 1, 2015 for the birthday of his daughter Pam Pam, to whom one of the songs is devoted.

The Album The World Has Changed

The songs for the rock album The World Has Changed were born during the world economic crisis – beyond doubt, a stage of chaos and insecurity, test for human values and time to rethink your life and inevitable changes.
The truth, lie, fear, love, illusion and trying to run away from everybody and everything are a part of people’s life, they not only define their relationships but become the inspiration for the creation of the songs in the album and its name, concluding that The World Has Changed!
