Solar eclipse music, piano and orchestra. Dark, dramatic, lyrical and sad music post of the Apocalyptic World.

Solar Eclipse

The new album is an intuitive work reflecting the ideals of Greek antiquity.

Here the gaze is blinded by snow-white columns, the marble dust of an unfinished athletic statue glitters in the sun, sensual music is heard from somewhere far away... here Aphrodite, born in the waves, smiles, Icarus soars above the clouds, Hera drowns in despair... here are musical reflections that do not give specific answers, but rather lead even further into the abyss of the unknown, but so beautiful...

Researchers of the origins of history are well aware of how seriously ancient mythology, as a support of ancient Greek culture, is woven into the symbolism of the modern world. The sword of Damocles, the cornucopia, the palm of primacy and the glory of Herostratus are expressions whose context of application understands everything that cannot be said about their origin.

Greco-Roman mythology is found in all spheres of society: jurisprudence, art, sports, education, politics, but it is most clearly expressed in heraldry. Elements of ancient culture are depicted on the flags of states, emblems and coats of arms of government bodies, logos of organizations and brands. In addition, figurative parallels with ancient mythology are found in almost all religions and mythologies of the world. From Christianity to Islam. And this gives reason to believe that most religions of the world have a common root, which means that the phenomena described in them are figurative expressions of events that took place.

As the famous saying goes: signs and symbols rule the world. And if we start from the fact that a symbol is an element of programming of society (after all, any computer program consists of symbols that make up a code), then we can say for sure that the civilization of Ancient Greece and Rome, if it does not predetermine the modern one, then it has a colossal influence on it.

But what is this influence, and most importantly, what will it lead to?

It is known that the ancient period is famous for high achievements in architecture, poetry, philosophy, mathematics and science, but whatever these achievements were, we must remember that the ancient empires fell. It turns out that mythological codification may contain symbols that lead to self-destruction. Therefore, we must carefully approach their use, using proven meanings.
