about

The title draws attention to today's rush of life - we spend less and less time and attention on things beautiful, real, which give you peace and relaxation.

The album was composed and performed at the same time - while recording, live. For publishing purposes, it has been divided into 5 parts, which together gives 9 tracks of total duration 34 minutes.
The music contained on the album is a synthesis of multidimensional interpersonal understanding. It aims to activate the ability to reach to the hidden potentials of man by intentionally creating a bridge between them.

The concept of the entire project arose from a creative need resulting from many years of experience in the field of musical improvisation, where the instrument is a piano, and the improvising performer uses the wide possibilities of this instrument.

The goal is to open the connection between the pianist, and the audience, their peculiar symbiosis, where the performer introduces the listener into the mood through sound calm and a state of relaxation. These are the inner experiences of the player and the listener, and the moment of the meeting and the awareness of the connection has the effect of stopping, as if being cut off from reality and deeply focused on the music experienced.

"The titles refer to classical music and the great sonata form, which I tried to reproduce during my improvisation. The composition is made in one sequence, without interruption - as pure improvisation. Earlier, however, I allowed myself to prepare only the main theme of a major chord with an added fourth and creates the first improvisation passage as a lightning theme - it attracts attention and brings you into a state of concentration" - Dominik Kisiel
