AMBER 2015 by Andrey Klimkovsky
Life sometimes resembles a computer game - a maze - it has obstacles and forks, dead ends and traps. Some traps are visible from afar - they are easy to get around, while others are disguised. Before the most dangerous traps a part of the review is blockign for us, replacing it with an illusion, and then - with luck - we can get out with the loss of points, but not always. It happens that the trap is fatal, and then the prospect of such a player is similar to the fate of a spider or a mosquito who got into fresh tar - there is no chance to get out either.
Fortunately, in life the rules are more flexible, and our possibilities are sometimes wider. We are also using that we had no idea about before the onset of a difficult situation. Difficulties helped us learn more about myself. Unfortunately, fatal errors also occur in life, if we consider life as the only possible round of the game. Some people think that there are always more rounds. But this is a matter of personal worldview.
I have been on the edge of a trap from which there is no turning back. I don’t know yet how easily I got off, and whether I got off. Life will show. But it was precisely in those days and weeks that I undertook to describe what was happening to me in musical language. This is the most accessible language for me when it comes to deep emotions.
I did not bother too much polishing the harmonies. I didn’t record just album, but analyzed myself - a simple minimalistic approach was enough for me. I limited myself to just one instrument that I once loved very much - Korg N364 - and voiced to them everything that ignited in the soul, and thereby brought out excess emotions to the outside.
And then I calmed down and abandoned the unfinished session. She lay in the archive for more than 4 years. And now I wanted to put an end to this “long-term construction”, release, finally forgive and forget.
This is strange music. In some places it is similar to my work, but somewhere it seems that a completely different person composed it. But everything that expands our capabilities is for our good. If this is for my good, then it will be of use to you, my dear listeners. Indeed, in addition to the melodic component, these tracks carry information, and therefore life experience. Let it come in handy for someone, because the outcome here is quite positive.
