The venture of this music album, Feathers and Stalactites, can be easily explained, if we apply the language of painting art: if the way the real world looks isn't convincing and strong enough, how and with what tools can we break its laws to make everything "realer than the real"?

So, in some sense, the ideology of this album rejects the common notion of reality.

Instead, there is the multiplicity of realities - and each corresponds with some aspect of these five tracks, but also can be explained as "trips" to different locations. For instance:

- the infinite jungle under the zenith Sun that leaves only bright and discrete colors in things;

- the swamps and the boiling air above them, which distorts the forms and shapes of the surrounding woods;

- the erotic journey to the temple of Anubis with a unique moment of witnessing mummification;

- the chilly sea caves with their inhabitants: the lizards that can grow into cave walls by changing the moisture content in their bodies;

- the little Orthodox church in a Ukrainian village with a system of underground passages underneath it that leads to the Earth's core.
