about

Songs of the light gleams in the streams of water. Piano impromptu in the spirit of abstract impressionism. Hydromantia was written at the time when I once again got out of the depressing hell depths. Deprived of speech, calmness and strength, I furiously searched for light. Through the mysticism of sound, I created for myself an elusive and fragile space of freedom and clarity which I could lean on.

There is a pitch, an escape, a becoming in this music, magic of the permanent transformation and anxiety, the eternal return. This music is nostalgia, it has homesickness in it, but the one who constantly strives for home is constantly in a foreign land. The radiance of the stars in his soul always awakes the initial sadness for the ringing streams and still waters that give peace and silence.

When i was wriring this music, I had a thought 'what a happiness is being a Platonic!' Unfortunately I am not a Platonic. There is my longing for that line of thought, now closed to me, in this music. Longing for the line of thought that contemplates the shining of the One and understands the world as a movement of descending from inexpressible to material and ascending from comlex and plural to the simple and holistic Good.

There is a hope and a consolation to me in the thought, that the Being is always escaping; we can't catch it, grasp and hide it. It dissapers from the mind's line of sight. In this music I try to touch something that don't belongs to the spaces of mind.
