“A composition that tells a story of love and rejection. A lonely cello and a bright, expressive piano melody create a strong resonance in the soul. Everything sounds very solid and thoughtful. Emotions flow like a river, charge and push the consciousness towards changes and revolution.”
“Композиция, которая рассказывает историю любви и отвержения. Одинокая виолончель и яркая, выразительная мелодия фортепиано создают сильный резонанс в душе. Всё звучит очень цельно и продуманно. Эмоции льются рекой, заряжают и подталкивают сознание к изменениям и перевороту сознания. ”

“Пение и танец пиано и виолончели. Игра чувств и эмоций. Настоящая квинтэссенция мелодичности, потрясающей атмосферы и притягательности. Всю красоту невозможно передать в полной мере. Это возможно лишь только прочувствовать. Настоящий душевный массаж.”

“Each of us has a special place, where to calm down and relax. At such moments, this music acts in a special way. The heart calms down at the end of the day, when the Sun sets on the horizon. Beautiful piano chords that can reach our tired souls.”
“Есть у каждого человека на этом свете особое место, куда он приходит отдохнуть и расслабиться. И именно в такие моменты подобная музыка воздействует особым образом. Сердце успокаивается, гаснет день на линии горизонта и слышно красивое пение цикад за окном. Музыка, которая лечит наши уставшие души.”

Andrea Sertori is an Italian pianist and composer of instrumental music. He started his first classical piano studies when he was 9 years old and his first keyboard experiences when he was 15. He had the opportunity to play in different rock bands and at the same time to continue studying piano in order to improve his piano technique and sensitivity as much as possible. Beyond the piano he has the great passion of synthesizers. The study of synthesizers allowed him to learn how to combine classical piano music with electronic music. His first solo work was 'Mosaic Room' (2017), a 5 track EP where piano and synthesizers overlap. From this moment on, in succession, he released a series of tracks that are characterized by a fusion between neo-classical and electronic music.

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind her song inspiration:
"Stranger is a moment of reflection on the strange experience we all went trough recently. The lockdown.
The lockdown was like a surreal dream. A blanket of solitude and quietness that just felll on us. Rythms changed, patterns changed. We changed. And yet, in this silent storm I found something good: I found this person in my empty home that I had lost a little along the way.
Myself. I was a stranger to myself.
But suddenly there was enough time and space to look inwards and it felt good. It felt like meeting an old friend after a long time.
Writing this piece, this intimate conversation with my very own soul, was liberating.
Maybe it will feel the same for those who listen as well.”

“-Luis Paul- in an amazing and sincere way, has reflected on his sound canvas the night streets of our favourite cities. This music can reach your soul, set free your imagination, fantasy and memories from twilight sleep. That's all you wish? Then welcome to the city night.”
“Поразительно, как бережно и искренне -Luis Paul- отразил на звуковом полотне ночные улицы наших любимых городов. Это музыка из самых недр души, освобождающая воображение, фантазию и наши воспоминания от сумеречного сна. Это всё, чего вы желаете? Тогда добро пожаловать в Городскую Ночь.”

Artist few words with Nagamag behind the source of his inspiration for this song:
"I wrote this song after I had gone for a walk during a rainy night in Berlin. In my neighborhood there wasn't much going on anymore except for a few people in a bar waiting for the rain to end while having a drink. I thought it’s just incredible how many different life stories and experiences take place in a single city. Music can completely change your perspective on what you perceive in that moment. This song is a little film music of life with which I tried to capture the feelings of that night."

'sea / boat / water' is the first single that’s flourished from a collaboration between two neo-classical composers; ÜUCE (USA) and Arttu Silvast (FIN).
The project started to come together after the two musicians found each other through shared digital spaces and started exchanging musical ideas online. It turned out that they both had a similar taste in music, sounds, and textures.
I grew up spending my summers in the sand on the east coast of the USA. Naturally while there, I had life-giving experiences, fell in love with the ocean, and fell in love with the women who ended up becoming my wife. As the years moved on and I finally got to enjoy the sea with my son, a melody broke onto the shore in front of us. After sharing the concept with Arttu, he thoughtfully observed the notes to find the meaning for me… not to mention expand profoundly on it. - ÜUCE
I’m originally from a very small seaside town in Southern Finland and the sea has always made me feel at home and offered an endless source of inspiration. ‘sea / boat / water’ came together as ÜUCE sent me one of his piano ideas that I started to build on. Turned out that we have a very similar taste in aesthetics and music but also, we are both fascinated by the sea. - Arttu Silvast

“A fairytale among a quiet and powerful storm. Soaring eagles carry the strings as they pluck the delicate strings. Enigmatic and full of feeling, we loved it and the emotion it brought out. ”
