'Stuzha' is the second project of
Daniil
Kazantsev.
Music created in it is more acoustic and contains folk elements.
But, it still is dark ambient. Why should you acquaint yourself
with his works? It's kind of a duty, but - fortunately - easy
and nice, that means you don't have to put effort into
experiencing what this album tells you about. When the content
once again tells you about the wonderful Siberian landscapes,
often undiscovered recesses such as remnants of past human
activity. Sort of a blurry,
mossy structures, long tunnels extending in a well-known to
themselves direction. You
could go there by nights, in any case, night lasts there almost
always, because light doesn't reach there from the outside.
These are completely distinct worlds. There is also here a
beautiful nature unsoiled by human activity.
You will really
find places where no human have ever been there. You can see how
this world presents, where everything looks as before. Only the
nature - evolving – delights more and more.
And if you would go without a guide, you could
get lost, Siberia is really huge, that what brings joy can also
bring sorrow and fear, but now - listening to - you are safe
from them. Despite everything is asleep, you are looking as if
through a fog, but you do notice your greatest virtues. It makes
you happy, because you know who you are and what you believe in.
It's an absolute credo, it leads you further with pleasure. Even
a dream is more real here than their lifes. We can be sad
because of them, but it's impossible to have an influance on
everyone, even here.
This album is dedicated to talented Russian
artist Constantine Vasiliev. Russian folklore have great
influence on the author of this art, so some samples were taken
from Sretensky Moscow Choir and from Sveshnikova Choir and used
in this album.
