Nostalgia - The Mirror's Longing
(June 2025, date coming soon)
Dive into Nostalgia - The Mirror's Longing, an orchestral hybrid that marries lush, traditional orchestral arrangements with the vintage-inspired, experimental edge of Hainbach's plugins. These plugins channel the raw character of rare test equipment, Soviet wire recorders, and cosmic phenomena, delivering lo-fi warmth, resonant depth, and otherworldly textures. Think haunting echoes from Wires, the hypnotic pulse of Gong Amp, or the ethereal delays of Moon Echo—tools that blend analog soul with cinematic flair.
Roads Through the Mirror is a conceptual music project spanning 11 orchestral pieces, each approximately an hour long, with a completion timeline of 4-5 years. Inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s films and Marcel Proust’s exploration of time, the series aims to musically articulate themes like spirituality, nostalgia, dreams, and nature. The project delves into the Time-Space-Thought Theorem, utilizing Sonic Archetypes to explore the interconnectedness of human existence through music.
As the second chapter in the 11-piece hybrid orchestral series Roads Through the Mirror, this piece takes you on an emotional voyage through longing, despair, hope, and enlightenment, all framed by the timeless metaphor of a mirror. Imagine a traveler peering into its depths, where reflections of the past flicker and evolve across four vivid Epochs:
This is a mirror to your own story, blending the emotive power of orchestral writing with the innovative textures of Hainbach's plugins. Following the series’ debut, Spirituality - Climbing the Light (October 2024), Nostalgia - The Mirror's Longing sets the stage for the next release in June 2025, Poetry - Canvas of the Soul's Eye, due late autumn 2025.
