Shadows of Time – a sequel to the ...
I was always fascinated by the Time. From where it comes? Where it goes? Can we really measure it with those complicated mechanisms? Maybe only our memories make us to “feel” the passing of time faster and faster…. May be there is no time at all … only eternity. This is the reason why I did not mention the timing of the tracks on the cover of this album. However, Bandcamp mentioned it automatically. This album is a sequel to my other album titled Pendulum. I explored using music those elements which were not or could not be included in my before...

She is not with us anymore … A few weeks ago I was at her house again, and I pulled up the clockwork. The pendulum started balancing and as I heard the sound of the ticking again I realized that the sound of the clockwork is recorded deep inside my mind…. and I had some wonderful memories. These memories inspired me to compose this album called PENDULUM. I...
