I want to know your secrets
What lives under your skin?
Such a calm appearance
Show me cracks to gaze in
What lies in the distance you keep?
What do you hide underneath?

‘cause you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused
Do you know me?

Now your mask is fading
So close I want to touch
But I am mistaken
When I look for love
You say that your heart is mechanical
Not worth bleeding for

Still you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused

Don't I know you?
Don't I know you?
Under the surface I saw 
the boy that you hide in the dark
Safe on his own

Still you paint with the same colours that I use
And you hold up a mirror 
It leaves me confused
Don’t you know me?

looking for a band

Ladat, born Ladislav Tesar, is Litomerice (Czech republic) native, body and soul, who writes and composes his music in Chatel-St-Denis, Switzerland. Ladat is not a band in the true sense of the word, but rather a musical project that emerged in 2019 as an escape from reality, because things go better with music.

Ladat's musical odyssey defies conventional labels and freely blends elements of rock, folk, country, and jazz into a rich and genre-bending style that invites listeners to explore the diverse spectrum of influences that shape his emotional and diverse compositions.
As an experienced composer and lyricist, Ladat weaves stories that deeply resonate with audiences and offers a captivating and immersive musical experience, where each song is an expression of boundless passion, creativity, and an unapologetic celebration of musical diversity.

Since 2021, Ladat has been collaborating freely with the Slovenian A7 Recording Studio and musicians around guitarist and drummer Blaž Pavšič, such as Uroš Mohorič (guitar), Gregor Alič aka Hanson or Peter Beznec (bass), and singers Anton Premec, Kristina Jelić, Maja Štebih, Hana Pavšič or Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack.

MOON AND ARIES (Jordana and Tom: we are real human beings = "no AI" in our songs - all is handmade: composition & production by Tom, lyrics and vocals by Jordana. Plus our great team: guitar by Peter, saxophone by Hanna, mixing by Chris, mastering by Francois).
 “Moon and Aries” is a transcontinental music duo creating somatic soul music through cinematic expression. Their work is rooted in emotional presence and embodied listening - music that is felt in the body as much as it is heard. 
Formed in 2021 by Jordana Moon (Canada) and Tom Aries (Germany), Moon and Aries emerged from a long-distance creative collaboration grounded in trust, intuition, and shared inner awareness. Their music unfolds like scenes - reflective, spacious, and emotionally attuned - moving beyond genre into lived experience. Guided by a philosophy of melody meets meaning, Moon and Aries create music that supports grounding, connection, and inner regulation.
Moon and Aries create music not as background, but as somatic experience - a space to slow down, feel safely, and reconnect with oneself.
Their inspiration sprouts from a variety of genres and artists like k.d. lang, Shivaree, Lisa Stansfield, Portishead, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, Röyksopp, ABBA,  Sade, Ms. Lauryn Hill, ELIZA and many more.  
MOON AND ARIES - MELODY MEETS MEANING: Somatic Soul - Cinematic Expression.
