about

All what 'Sustained' is about comes from a single, simple rule, and stays opposite to what I have tried to achieve in 'Unsustained'. This time sustained pedal has to be pressed through the entire piece of music without changes. It results in ambient deepness, natural, cathedral-like reverb, soft, blurring the boundaries effect. It implies harmonic simplicity, therefore texture and melody become the most important part of the music. When every single note is prolonged endlessly its meaning becomes a foundation for everything that comes next. In such a scenario, changes have to be gradual – evolutionary. Just like in the world of living organisms – our world. I always thought about music that it has to be a living thing, it has to be a representation of nature and as such, it needs to embody the element of life. Working on 'Sustained' I have asked myself somewhat philosophical questions – 'Can we precisely determine the moment, when freely vibrating string stops to produce sound, when the sound is gone, when the acoustic wave becomes flat?' When we do not hear anything it does not mean it is not there because, by the laws of our universe, things cannot just disappear. They change.
