At the Line 07:41
At the line I. My Hour is coming My Age is over My Way is finished My Sleep is near Time is melting At the line Step to verge of The infinity II. «I thought the world is a music I thought the world is a beauty I thought the world is a poetry I thought the world is a dream…» III. Time is melting At the line Step to verge… IV. I thought that the world is a music I thought that the world is a beauty I thought that the world is a poetry I thought that the world is a dream.

Edge of the Dream I. Now pass beyond the edge of dream… Now step across Edge of the Dream! II. Now pass beyond the edge of dream Now pass beyond the edge of darkness Now step across the abyss gates. Now pass beyond the edge of starlight Now pass beyond the edge of night Now step across the doorstep of home. Now pass beyond the Edge of Shadows Now stride across the Gates of Oblivion Cast off forever the bondage of chains! III. IV. Hour is coming Age is over Way is finished Sleep is near Time is melting At the line Step to verge of The infinity

The Ocean 04:49
The Ocean I. II. On the pages of dreams Dust of shadows lies. Far from native shores To the endless ice. In dark waters’ depth I shall rest alone. Lonely fading sail In the mist of dawn. «A time there becomes an eternity…» III. At the end of Earth In the mist of night Icy walls come close Mourning waves grew quite. Pulled by mystery To dark waters’ depth Sinking sail of mine Reaches the bottom line. «Beyond the edge of the dream» A time here becomes an eternity, Eternity lasts just a trice, Life here turns into immortality - What will happen to you? IV. Dust of shadows lies On forgotten pages. Sinking sail of mine In the sea of… faces?.. Time within becomes an eternity, Eternity lasts just a trice, Life within turns into immortality - Who will you become? Where the moonlight beam Reaches the bottom line Of the Sea of Souls Beyond the Edge of the Dream?

Reflection 05:13
Reflection I. «Hour is coming Age is over Way is finished Sleep is near…» II. I shall now return To the endless dark space. I shall find my home In deep and mirror-like lakes. I’ll become a pale silver glow Of lunar realms Which are lost in a silent blow Of starlight winds. «Hour is coming Age is over Way is finished Sleep is near…» III. «Time is melting at the line…» IV. I shall now return «Hour is coming», To the endless dark space. «Age is over» I shall find my home In lunar realms. «Way is finished» In silent blow Of starlight winds. Hour… Age… Way… «Sleep is near» Hour… Age… Way… Sleep… Step.

nomenum Kazan, Russia

It was a long way through several death and rebirth cycles.
A conceptual experiment, started in 1998 and initially conceived with progressive atmospheric rock in mind, but eventually evolved into neoclassic modernism, diatonic serialism, polyphonic sonorism, and other fascinating streams of contemporary music realms (but still strongly bound to progressive and gothic roots). ... more
