“Arcana" is a haunting and introspective electronic dark ambient album that takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through the complexities of human emotions. Drawing inspiration from the Fool's journey in Tarot, the album explores the cyclical nature of life and death, and the deep connection between love and the shadow self. The music is infused with hidden messages and subtle nuances that reveal themselves with each repeated listen, allowing love to hide in its textures. With each track, the album takes listeners on a ritualistic journey, delving into the darker aspects of the human psyche and offering a path towards self-discovery and healing. As the album progresses, it builds towards an emotional climax, culminating in a powerful ode to a love that transcends even the endless cycle of death and rebirth.
The track “Hopeful” is made in collaboration with artist and dear friend ASH, who has been by my side supporting my musical and emotional journey. Thank you for that

Hello dear friends and listeners. For three weeks there is a bloody war going on and I still in some kind of a shock and confusion and fear. For many who may think I am in Moscow, I am not. I manage to flight to czech just before everything happen. Sad thing is my life partner, unfortunately is still in Moscow where she is now regularly threatened by police for her anti-war activities over the instagram. Few of my very close friends there in moscow too living in fear and with ruined plans for foreign education and building a better life in russia. Now, I think, All the hope are lost for decades and I am deeply sorrow about.

The nuclear threat is something that struck me the most.
before starting my way in Czech Republic I lived the first of my 18 years of my life in small closed town that is a federal nuclear center of russia in the middle of ural mountains. One year in the college I was able to visit a special museum with the original models of different kind of bombs. Having thoughts that it could ever be used is seem absurd in 2022 but here it is.

Even though I was always passionately against Putins regime and I am against all the things his regime has done and doing. I am against this war. From I feel ashamed each time someone ask me where I from... It is toxic now to have a Russian passport and I would honestly exchange it to any other with no though now.

I feel deeply sorrow for all the victims of this disaster. I feel deep pain for all the people who got killed, hurt, forced out of homes, left out of homes, lost closed ones. I feel pain for every solder from all sides. Ukranians are great nation and the fact that Putin betrayed this friendship and brotherhood between our nations is an great catastrophe.

I am very sorry for onces who got their projects ruin, folks who did music and diy labels in ukraine belarus and of course russia, where it be not possible to do any kind of activities any more since there is no Paypal and ways to manufacture and ship and everything else. And it is seems that it is going to be for some time. I send love energy to those people, I hope that war will be over and everything will at peace again.

STOP WAR!
