three year journey: the last three years have been the most important in my musical journey. The collection of sounds which represent the album were all a progressive creation of those three years. These years were quite vital for my growth both as a musician and a human being since I spent most of the time analyzing my inner processes, eliminating thoughts that seemed not mine anymore, trying to know me better, and doing my utter best to connect all the dots/events/memories to find out the real me. The realization went as far as understanding who are the key figures in my life and who gave me the light I carry inside, and ultimately, coming to a standpoint that regardless of the experience, that journey filled with the entirety of possible human emotions led me to be the person I am right now. 

This album is a collection of more than 200 unfinished projects with a broad spectrum of ideas that seemed to be forgotten until I decided to leave my homeland Armenia on a five-month trip in early 2021. The biggest, perhaps scariest challenge I faced was the absolute inability to collect all the memories the exact way they were since life was moving so fast and reality was quite unstable that it was almost impossible to memorize even the smallest thing. But I found the way. I realized the correct path is to simply be present, and life will carry your subconscious on the journey you are supposed to be part of. 

This album is my soul, my world, the love/heartbreak, acceptance/annoyance, anxiety/confidence, curiosity/courage, desire/disappointment, the doubt, the distrust, the happiness, the rage, the hope/worry, passion, the people I met, the entirety of a human inner world expressed through sound. enjoy.

three year journey was a first time I tried to collect an album in 2021 and this is the original text of the collection.

At one point in my life, I met Rambalkoshe but never thought I would be part of its long journey then I met Mr.Tony and I knew that Tony and I would play a lot together on the same stage or without a stage doesn't matter. Then I met Mr.Shhau and I knew that this dude will be my teacher without him knowing that I am his student. So long story short I like this life and thank you Rambalkoshe, thank you, Mr.Tony, thank you Mr.Shhau.

Ditto (Midnight Version)

I was going through hard times during the last year and a half, and during those periods I made some stuff I wasn’t thinking of releasing at all. Then I lost my laptop, and a lot of my projects got lost in the void. These three are the ones I managed to find and rescue with the help of my friend Shhau, and this is literally my diary, but just a tiny surface of it; the rest will be lost in the void. What we get are just three pieces of musical compositions that will most probably accompany you while you’re living. For me, it was something different, which I still have a lifetime, hopefully, to find out, to express, and to let go. Anyway, enjoy! Life is short.

This year, I discovered that there is a state called a flow state, and when one enters that state, things just go effortlessly. These 17 minutes of unreleased ideas are the product of that state, which happens to me sometimes when I turn off my analytical mind and judgment and just make stuff for the sake of making. Idk if these things are called mixtapes, but I couldn't think of a better name. Maybe some of these ideas will become full tracks next year, not sure, but something inside tells me that they are beautiful as they are like this. So enjoy.
