Странствия: блуждания и погружения. Городские сны

I am happy to be part of this compilation, created by the label 'День забытой жизни' (Day Of Life Forgotten).

The theme of the compilation is the City. Different artists created sounds inspired by specific locations, and others about an abstract idea.

My contribution to this compilation is the track 'Kiev', which I made under the name of my project 'Sebastian In Dream'. 

In this track I made a progressive sound impression about that city. During my firsts days there I could perceive a lot of energy, a big mixture of architectonical styles, different influences from different civilizations, etc. But as weeks passed by I could feel the deep sadness that dwells within that city. A sadness that subtly beats within the streets, buildings, parks... This progressive impressions are reflected in the track.

(When I arrived to Kiev, in the airport the security guards started to check my synths, and they moved accidentally all the knobs and settings of them. I composed the first part of the track with those random settings provoked by the security guards. I just enjoyed the dadaist circumstance to create the sound intro).

The conception of this album started on an evening of this ending winter in which I went to a suburbian/industrial area of my city, Madrid. There I took a long walk during dusk, while I could see how literally the Sun was setting in the city skyline. During that walk I made some field recordings and wrote some sentences trying to catch the numinous spirit of the area and how that spirit interacted with me. With those sentences I composed a poem, and each verse of that poem is the title of each track. The whole album is a sound poem with which I try to make manifest the numinous spirit of my city's suburbia and how you become part of that spirit as you walk through those  streets.
