ORCHESTRAL EXPERIENCE
(29 11 2024)
This album is inspired by the Surrealist movement, celebrating 100 years of creativity since André Breton's Manifesto in 1924.
Especially influenced by the visionary works of René Magritte—The Lovers II, The Heartstrings, and The False Mirror—this album pays tribute to the surrealism that has shaped art, imagination and freedom of expression.

What happens when a person who has forgotten everything tries to remember with the help of a computer? And what if that person hasn’t really forgotten everything? Is this a story of erased memory—or fabricated identity? The line between recall and reconstruction blurs when the mind itself is in question.
