Stefan Kristinkov is a composer with a profound passion for film scores. His compositions carry such nuanced themes, intricate with sentiments and rich with emotion. Some are descriptive, with melodic patterns and tonalities setting the scene. And you can travel frame by frame through a sonic story that combines both the artist’s and listener’s imagination. ‘Notes of the Observer’ is Stefan’s latest album, an eleven part collection that delves into the ambiences of nature.
With titles like ‘mirrored lake’, ‘cracked roots’, ‘eagle’s solitude’, etc. the artist seems to capture a vivid frame. These images form so readily in the mind, associating with our preconceived notion of them. That’s the starting point. As you get into the composition and experience its progression, you’ll get to enjoy the many ways in which he not only explores but liberates them. In this collection especially, he seeks out aesthetics, absurdities, and allegories that allude to human experiences of these qualities.
In the title track, we see ambient folk-classical-electronic-cinematic flows, one flowing so freely and fluidly into the other. These momentous evolutions seem to carry within them a changing perspective, going through many cycles of metamorphosis. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
