Return And Change

That Monday Morning

The World Will Laughing Then

We Shall fall

Melancholy

In Autumn Moonlight, When The White Air Wan

Lyrics by Robert Bridges
Vocals by Marie Duperreault

I Love All Beauteous Things

I Have Loved Flowers That Fade

The Evening Darkens Over

Lyrics by Robert Bridges

When Death to either shall come,-
I pray it be first to me,-
Be happy as ever at home,
If so,as I wish,it be.


Possess thy heart,my own,
And sing to the child on thy knee,
Or read to thyself alone
The song that I made for thee.


When Death To Either Shall Come

Theandria is effectively a solo project with collaborators in different spaces and times. Long, long time ago, somewhere in the early 90's, we started a band with a friend; the sound was somewhere between new wave, punk and experimental electronica. We never got to record anything, but we sure did have some good gigs. The song World Will Laughing Then is from that era, which I re-recorded some ten years later. 

My next stage on my musical journey was the Hungarian band Scivias, where I played acoustic guitars. Scivias has released two materials so far amongst contributions to many compilations and singles. I do consider Scivias as one of the best and most original bands on the European neofolk/ritual/experimental scene (and not because I played the guitars in it...:)

In 2003 I moved to Canada and Theandria was born. Rebirth was recorded during 2004 and 2005 with Charley Robertson and Marie Duperreault, both extremely talented in their arts. Most of the piano solos, strings and bass on Rebirth was contributed by Charley and Marie shifted the entire work to a different level with her angelic vocals. This CD is tribute to Robert Bridges, a classical British poet, who never got too well known, but his works are nonetheless contain the universal, absolute beauty and sadness that always inspired me. Return and Change has been recorded during the following few years. It is essentially a collection of old and new, sounds and impression from the deep past and immediate experiences. Yes, it has a strong message and I feel that it has been serving as an ark and battleship against the world. I wanted to address the general degeneration of societies, the trivialization of human values all the way to the point, where we lose our humanity and turn into a non-human, not even animal like collective of species. Return and Change contains a fair amount of anger and resentment, but in the end I feel that I was able to transcend this darkness and reach the Light of the Spirit.



Godspeed and thanks for listening!
