"Swan Cloud is the second single from the album Red Moon by Marynka. Recorded on the day of blood moon, this album is a musical guide for the soul as in shamanic ritual.

Rebecca Jean Rossi – Stella Alpina (Spotify)
Rebecca Jean Rossi says about that song "There is a flower that grows high in the Alps, and is able to bloom every year even under very harsh conditions. One winter, I became fascinated by this flower, "Stella Alpina"- I felt connected to it, as if my own struggles with my health (having received a harsh diagnosis at a young age) could be analogous in some ways to this flower's natural habitat- and how even on my worst days, my only desire despite the circumstances, was to bloom again."
Kaleidoscope of Colours – Moon Rock (Spotify)
With the rather neoclassical Moon Rock, a fragile and minimalistic piano solo melody, the German based synesthetic composer returns to her roots, presenting the third of five musical fragments developed on the technique of synesthetic colour composing.
Following the release of the album "Music & Colours" in 2018, the Berlin-based composer returns with her second EP „THE BIRTH OF COLOURS and a selection of pieces that not only take the audience back to the composer’s world of crossed senses, but also remind us of the beauty and fragility of our nature, of the elements of our planet that are not infinite and that we have taken for granted for far too long.
MOON ROCK not just stands for the grey coloured scale it was written on, but also for the third element of our planet - Rocks and Mountains.
A part of the EP´s revenue will be donated to selected climate protection programs.
