Alexander Gadjiev writes: "This is a special album that exclusively features brief pieces taken from short anthologies or collections. For me it's like a journey without a chronology: I just wanted to choose an interesting itinerary. All these pieces seem to evoke a "dark meditation". Even in lively passages there is an underlying mood of brooding: it is the atmosphere of the early 20th century and the cultural milieu of Symbolism. These are brief, abstract visions of different worlds. You can sense that a single chord or series of sounds could escalate to evoke an entire universe."
