about

By creating this album, I was trying to find something new in my music. I was so concentrated on the definition of what I do that gradually I realized that the music moved away from me, it simply ceased to flow, I lost something. And only when I released the desire to do something specific or special the sounds started to appear again. This album is probably like a puzzle, and only by collecting it into one you may find something. I wish you to listen to it with your whole body, without thinking, and just letting music come in. And maybe it will stay in you, or not. Just as it is. In headphones, on a road with passing images in a window, or in a park where the rays make their way through the trees, and even in the dark, alone.
An intimate album, sometimes flashing and dynamic, with a taste of distorted memories and hopes that left behind.

Thank you to my parents and my love. There is nothing more beautiful than to be together.
Special thanks to Jim de Block for photo for the cover.
Please find the videos attached to the tracks 'Refreshing youth', 'Surge' and 'Moving spaces'.

Создавая этот альбом, я пытался найти что-то новое в моей музыке, я был настолько сконцентрирован на определении того, что я делаю, что постепенно понял, что музыка ушла от меня, она просто перестала течь, я что-то потерял. И только тогда, когда я отпустил желание сделать что-то конкретное и особенное, звуки снова начали появляться. Этот альбом как пазл, собрав частички мозаики в единое целое, может вы найдете что-то. Я желаю вам слушать его всем своим телом, не думая, а просто позволяя музыке проникать внутрь. И, возможно, она оставит свой след внутри, или нет. Просто, как есть. В наушниках, в дороге, оставляя позади изображения в окне, или в парке, где лучи пробиваются сквозь деревья, и даже в темноте, в одиночку.
Интимный, иногда вспыхивающий и динамичный, со привкусом искаженных воспоминаний и надежд, что остались позади.

Спасибо моим родителям и моей любви. Нет ничего прекраснее, чем быть вместе.
Особая благодарность Джиму де Блоку за фото для обложки.
Треки 'Refreshing youth', 'Surge' и 'Moving spaces' сопровождаются видео.

about

Oleg Stepanov Basel, Switzerland

Oleg's here. I'm a dance artist, it makes me roam around the world quite a lot. But my music is always in me and stays in touch with where I'm from.
It's like an open conversation with a closest friend, or oneself. It's reflective, intimate, sometimes dark. It's pulsing and filled with atmosphere and recurrence. Thanks for wandering around. Let's be connected through music and dance. ... more
