Introduction to "Simple Forms"

"Simple Forms" is a musical journey through time and memories, crafted by [your name].

This three-track album explores classic geometric shapes – circle, triangle, and square – as metaphors for contemplating love, life, and death.

Each track is imbued with melancholy and warm nostalgia, transporting the listener to a world of childhood memories, as if you're once again playing on a Game Boy while wandering through the streets of St. Petersburg.

The album's concept emerged from the "future retro" idea suggested by the artist's friend – an attempt to merge modern technology with classical musical forms and genres. The result is a unique blend of minimalism and complexity, where each composition feels like meditation.

Creation Process

Each track took over a week to develop, with the entire album fully arranged on Elektron's Octatrack – the primary instrument for realizing the artist's vision.

The artist drew inspiration from studying works of contemporary performers, with each track remaining a unique experiment, interweaving elements from various electronic music genres.

Mastering the Octatrack as a tool took the artist about two years, with creating full arrangements on this device being the main challenge.

Melodic parts were recorded using a vintage Japanese children's Casio SA-10 synthesizer and Microkorg, giving the album a special atmosphere of childhood nostalgia.

The sound palette is complemented by Beringer TD-3 and Elektron Model Samples.

Compositions

 1. Circle

The circle simultaneously symbolizes eternity and cycles. This track became the key inspiration for the artist, prompting the creation of the entire album.

"Circle" represents the first realization in five years, conveying a sense of inner balance.

This musical composition is filled with melancholy but concludes on an optimistic note, as if reminding us that life always moves forward despite anything.

 2. Triangle

The triangle symbolizes structure, balance, and tension.

This track explores the theme of choice and decision. The sound palette here is sharper and more dynamic, reflecting internal conflicts and the search for harmony. The artist aimed to convey the feeling of a game where every step requires making a new decision.

 3. Square

The square symbolizes stability and completeness. The album's final composition offers listeners reflections on death as an integral part of life. Here, the sound becomes calmer and more meditative, summarizing the entire journey. The music seems to say: "Everything has its end, but that's no reason for sadness."

Album Philosophy

"Simple Forms" reflects on two polar yet interconnected concepts: love and death.

The artist drew inspiration from Buddhist philosophy, where death is viewed not as an end but as a continuation of the cycle.

Musical forms, like human destinies, may appear simple at first glance, but they contain entire universes of meaning within them.

The album also reflects the vivid influence of St. Petersburg – the city that became the artist's source of inspiration. Walks through its streets, observations of architectural forms, and the spirit of freedom permeating this city found their reflection in the music.

Influences and Style

The album's music draws inspiration from IDM and works by artists such as Chris Clark, Aphex Twin, and Venetian Snares. However, Ed Alton (DMX Krew) had the greatest influence on the sound of "Simple Forms," with his style distinctly evident in each composition. The artist skillfully blends genres, creating a unique sound that feels both familiar and new.

Future Plans

Plans include filming a video for the track "Circle" using old-school technologies such as magnetic tape – another step in exploring retro-future music.
