about

The Flowing Soul is a is a reflection on the impermanence of things, a contemplation of ephemerality, and a story of transmutation.

Water in all its forms is the central theme of this concept EP. Everything flows, through moments of uncertainty, fear, misery, anger, loss, but also enchantment, wonder, and soothing melancholia.

Each track represents a stage in the process of continuous transformation of a water spirit:

1. The Gentle Descent: The spirit comes down from the sky as Rain, caresses every living creature, and brings justice and rejuvenation to the world.

2. The Flowing Soul: Drop by drop, Rain slowly takes the forms of River, rides through rocks and forests, creates waterfalls, and becomes increasingly aware of his own strength and power.

3. Infinity Blue: River meets Sea, a much more powerful and beautiful being. Waves clash into each other, River tries to resist but is eventually overwhelmed by Sea. However, soon River realizes that he is Sea.

4. Comforting Depths: Now that the water spirit has become Sea, he falls in love with himself and sinks down in the depths of the abyss. Without realizing it, he loses all his powers and falls asleep.

5. Drowned and Stranded: The spirit suddenly wakes up, realizing that he has now transformed into a mortal. He is now a human being and he is lost in the middle of the sea. He fights hard not to drown but eventually gives up and dies. His body is carried to the shore by the waves, and caressed by Octopus, the only water creature who will remember his story of transformation.



...and just when we finally let go of the attachment to pain and sorrow, this stillness inside is sweetly caressed by the eternal waves of life...

It is music that manifests itself autonomously, like a dream, taking the musician by hand, and guiding him in a mysterious quest. ... more
