"This song is a confidence anthem, an address to everyone, lest we forget our greatness, that we should wake and let the world bask in our Glory- a glory that comes from within. Our beauty and strength rooted in our truth, should shine and bless others. It is not to be hidden nor second-guessed. Beauty, strength and power is what we had in mind when I wrote this song with my daughter, Mimi Octave."

Ted Regklis – Apodimos
“Atmospheric, neoclassical composition that can fill all your consciousness with its hypnotic sound. The melody forms beautiful landscapes in the soul and adds a product of mystery, resembling a gust of fresh wind, which raises the dust of roads, makes noise between the branch of trees and disperses the lazily floating clouds in the sky. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Атмосферная, неоклассическая композиция, способная заполнить всё ваше сознание своим гипнотическим звучанием. Мелодия формирует в душе красивые пейзажи и добавляет произведению таинственности, напоминая порыв свежего ветра, который поднимает пыль дорог, шумит между ветвь деревьев и разгоняет в небе лениво плывущие облака.”

This is a piece, part of a series of music pieces, aiming in exploring a more direct and unfiltered way of composing music.
Four elements interact with each other, in a free-form creative process where a piece of footage, a text phrase, moments from everyday life, or world events are allowed to interact with each other and trigger the creation of a piece of music in no specific order. The role of the artist is just to be available and willing to observe and translate this process into a piece of music.
This particular piece is an experiment around the antithesis of the concepts of elevation and fall and how the two coexist during moments of exploration. Apodimos is a Greek word and means the one who leave far from home.

Lauren Waller – Nothing But Life
“The structure of the song is very soft, light like a feather. The sound is minimalistic, without emotional bursts, but with a pronounced shade of Synthpop and Dream Pop. Penetrating vocals -lauren Waller - gives the sound a hypnotic effect. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Структура песни очень мягкая, лёгкая словно пёрышко. Звук минималистичный, без эмоциональных всплесков, но при этом с ярко выраженным оттенком Synthpop и Dream Pop. Проникновенный вокал -Lauren Waller- придаёт звучанию гипнотический эффект. ”

"Nothing But Life" is a dreamy track that leaves the listener with wistful feelings about love, loss, and life in general. These feelings are conveyed through emotional lyrics and acoustic guitar that stands out over Lauren's pop sound. Easy to connect with and to fall in love with the track as it relates to the listener's own life and how their story weaves into the haunting and emotional sounds of "Nothing But Life."

Thomas Tempest – Life
“The UK rapper "Thomas Tempest" sheds light on the main characteristics of life through his groovy rhythmic elements, effect-driven vocal samples and a realization of being stronger than the average people. A uniquely artistic Hip-Hop release based more on sound than lyrics.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"The title track from my album 'Life' which was written during a very uncertain time in everyone's lives. Composed during lockdown 2021, LIFE is a collection of experimental instrumental tracks seasoned with thought provoking moments and big drum beats.
Valuing things of no worth. Re-evaluating dreams. Laboring ceaselessly against the current. Seeing less, wanting more, having enough.
This is LIFE. "

KARDO – GROOVE
“Based on a main guitar pattern, oldschool kick and distorted vocals, this single from "KARDO" can stick out in its category. The lyrics reveal a rebelious mood with a taste of lurking madness among the most raw emotions. An undoubtedly straight and sencere production.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist said about this song:
"My debut single “GROOVE” takes you through my mind during a psychedelic trip, where I realize I have been held back by society’s lack of acceptance. My eagerness to break through society’s “chains” causes my reality to become skewed and in turn, makes me paranoid.
“GROOVE” has elements of indie as well as pop and hip hop music. The eerie acoustic guitar consistently played throughout, paired with infectious hard hitting 808s & low-cut distorted vocals makes for a combination that generates feelings of nostalgia but also makes you want to run into a wall. "

Leif Shively Band – Pretend
“As its title reveals, this Acoustic song from "Leif Shively Band" states the presence of fake feelings between two people. when we're afraid to express our true emotions, choose to pretend. The singer reveals a bitter truth in a peaceful Acoustic background mix.”
-Nagamag.com
This a song about living with someone that you know in you heart isn’t right for you but, you stay anyway because staying feels easier than leaving. So you go on living life playing pretend.
