Album «past — music — future» • Project «HEAVEN» • Composer Andrey Klimkovsky

Album «past — music — future» • Project «HEAVEN» • Composer Andrey Klimkovsky

Let's talk about new music and new albums - the first of which is in this post

My name and surname are not on the cover. The album is part of the chain of releases of the project "HEAVEN", although until yesterday there was only one link in that chain - the album "sad & soli music", recorded in 2003. I wanted to do something earlier that would continue the undertaking that appeared during the period of my going through some life troubles - I did not understand then that these are periods of the strongest transformations, and unusual times are accompanied by unusual music. But, perhaps, the subsequent times were not about that.

In all the time that has passed since then, I have recorded a couple of tracks - supposedly for the "HEAVEN" project. They are now attached to the first album as bonuses, and in fact have little to do with this story (only in that they were recorded on Korg TRITON series instruments, which were relevant at the time).

Something changed in the summer of 2022. On June 11th, some force made me turn on my already quite old Korg TRITON Extreme - a music workstation from the 2000s (on which the continuation of this project was once conceived, and the first album was recorded on a similar instrument) - and I start creating.

The work moved very intensively. The first 4 pieces were recorded in a few days. True, it was the 4th that became the first stumbling block (I was not fully prepared to create it, and later I reworked it several times, and this energy of throwing is still present in the music, but, as I now understand, it is needed there). Then there was a pause of 10 days - I switched to something else, but soon returned to the album I had started.

After that, the creative process was steady but measured - one piece per week or two. It seemed like the light at the end of the tunnel was already visible - in September I recorded the key track of the album - the eighth, and sketched out the structure, harmonic grid and melody of the ninth. 85% of the work is done - I'm at the finish line...

My new albums («HEAVEN» project) — «past - music - future» and «singularitime»

New albums by composer Andrey Klimkovsky and his project «HEAVEN» — «past - music - future» and «singularitime»

Friends, today two albums were released at once - both continue the project "HEAVEN" that I started back in 2003 (almost an eternity ago), the music of which was so unusual for me that, as you can see, it took me a long time to mature enough to continue and develop the themes raised in it.

In a nutshell, this is music about our probable future. And the future awaits us is absolutely amazing. And, as far as I managed to embody this (from what I overheard in borderline states), the music largely corresponds to that series of unexpected discoveries that are already rushing towards us from the abyss of the Ocean of Time.
