The debut Album "Soundtrack without movie" is a result of two-years' work and long
searching. What does the musician search: he searches for a sense of his
creativity. Why is the music necessary? To whom is it intended?
"Soundtrack without movie" is Ustoz's first attempt to answer these questions.
"This album is for those who wish to think whilst listening to the music. To reflect
on the meaning of their life, to think about their own place in this world and to
understand 'what is happiness'. I set these questions to myself whilst working on this album. I think this album, will be a fine background
(soundtrack) for reflections about life."
It is the citation which defines the
album's name. After all, our life is - as cinema, is one which always needs a soundtrack.
Description:
trilogy of influences creating intelligent electronic pop
The instrumental steam of Proteus Noir is a dark and mysterious, but leaves
enough space for an energetic drive to the dance floor. Arrangement and flow
is followed with the spirit of dynamic eighties and early nineties but
with more complex and sharp sounds. The music made by Proteus Noir is a
successful blend of different longings to create music, a culmination
of complementary emotions, meeting at the same creative spot while
spinning into three different directions.
The album Children of Light is a journey into personal feelings. It is one
big emotional trip and a message to the world that there is still
enough space for hope. It is searching for the light inside us from
different perspectives. A dark metaphorical expression, with the light
in our hearts.... We are not good or bad, we are not looking for good
or evil. We simply are here, lost somewhere in the moment of
technological inspiration, searching for a truth.
Some songs, like 'Something to believe','Sweet nightmare' and
ambitious 'All around' are a personal note, how to find a guide out
from different illusions and find something to believe in. 'Shine on
me' and 'Beautiful' are searching for a lost beauty, who is still
somewhere there, not so close and not so far. 'Electrification' could
be even a global warning. Consequence of the technological greed and a
parody itself, being a electronic song.
Meditations is the third CD by Ishwish. With Meditations, Christopher Currell
(composer, musician and producer) has gone much deeper with his concept of using
sound vibrations to raise human consciousness. Meditations are five
musical/sound collages that are designed to resonate specifically with the human
spirit and the universe. The harmonious interaction of spirit and sound sets
free information that is contained within the vibration. This information holds
the key to elevating consciousness. Each person resonates differently, much like
a radio tuner, and therefore has his own unique experience. Each person receives
only information that they are ready to receive based on their own current
awareness and life experiences.
Christopher says this about the powerful harmonious interaction of music and
meditation:
"Light is the creative source. The universe is an echo of the creative
source...fundamentally a vibration. Everything is a result of a creative
thought. The spiritual essence of man is interested in trying to understand the
nature of the creative source. Science is about analyzing its results.
Meditation stills the vibration long enough to perceive its source. Music is a
process that resonates directly with the creative source. Meditations are
pathways to consciousness. Sound illuminates the way. May your travels be guided from the darkness into the light."
