about

Half Eclipse symbolises the balance between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Just like the moon partially covers the sun during a solar eclipse, our daily routines can sometimes overshadow our passions and creativity. This album serves as a reminder that it's possible to find equilibrium between our responsibilities and our dreams.

Half Eclipse also suggests an incomplete or imperfect state. In an era where perfection is often overvalued, this album encouraged me to embrace imperfection as a source of beauty and authenticity. It's a celebration of the raw, unpolished aspects of music.

Let me take you through the journey behind the name and the 12 tracks that make up this album.

1. Forgive Me: This is where it all began. There is a movie named " The Legend of 1900". It is the story of a man who was born on a cruise ship. On that shiphe lived, and learned to play the piano. He was a talent, a true force of nature, but unfortunately, he never left that ship. This intro samples his monologue, at the end of the movie.

2. '900: Named after the movie mentioned above. I wanted to capture the feeling of sitting in a huge, empty cruise ship, crossing the Atlantic.

3. Piano Excerpt: A brief, melancholic moment on the keys, recorded during a late-night session when inspiration struck like lightning.

4. Cluster: The track that emerged from hours of experimenting with different synth patches and drum patterns. It's the chaos that led to clarity.

5. Freeze Me in a Photography: An ode to capturing memories in sound, a way to hold on to fleeting moments.

6. Infirmity: A reflection on the fragility of life, which we often forget in our daily hustle.

7. Mountain Wind: Inspired by a solo trip to the mountains. I was in the Maritime Alps, at the border between Italy and France. For a moment, I found myself thinking about the mountains in Nepal, and this is the result.

Now, here's the twist - I decided to invite some talented friends to put their own spin on my tracks. It's incredible how different artists can reinterpret the same melody:

8. '900 remixed by Martin Schulte: Martin added his unique touch, giving it a depth I couldn't have imagined.

9. Freeze Me in a Photography remixed by DIB: DIB took my memory and made it his own, a beautiful transformation.

10. Piano Excerpt remixed by Viktor Apostolski: Viktor played with the emotions, turning my late-night musings into something even more profound.

11. Forgive Me remixed by Reverb: Reverb put a haunting spin on my imaginary cruise ship. Not, it is cutting the Atlantic ocean at the speed of light.

12. Mountain Wind remixed by Morkebla and Sonambient: A collaboration that transformed my mountain memories into an epic journey.

So there you have it, Half Eclipse, my part-time passion project turned into 1 hour and 32 minutes of music. It's not just an album; it's a diary of my nights, weekends, and moments of creativity squeezed between the mundane of my day job.
