about

After an extended period of intense mental focus, where I found myself compulsively immersed in operating FL Studio while consuming copious amounts of energy drinks, tea, and whisky, experimenting with various vowel-based virtual instruments to create an otherworldly atmosphere, and even symbolically reaching out to the supernatural by incorporating devilish themes, I am thrilled to announce the completion of my latest musical project, "The Last Wizard in the Tower."

Reflecting back to my childhood in the 90s, I recall being captivated by a unique toy that ignited my imagination—a glove adorned with buttons on each finger, linked to a speaker producing diverse sounds, with each button triggering a different drum sound. Despite persistent requests, my parents eventually granted my wish on my 7th birthday. However, my excitement quickly waned as the toy turned out to be a flimsy disappointment, barely surviving the unboxing. Nevertheless, the reason behind my eagerness was the enchanting promise of magic it held.

In my mind's eye, I can still envision myself as a young wizard, adorned with a magical gauntlet, conjuring thunderous storms by simply drumming my fingers in the air. It's remarkable how the power of imagination can transform an ordinary glove into a mystical instrument. This childhood memory served as the inspiration for my album, creating a musical journey into a fantastical realm.
