Hior Chronik - Taking the Veil - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Seductive and cinematic soundscapes between ambient, drone and indie-neoclassical music these are the best words to describe Hior Chronik's style. A style that captures ears and soul, bringing you into an imaginary world, arousing emotions, making the mind wander to distant places. This is the goal of the Greek musician, now living half of the year in Athens and the other half in Berlin. You can hear it in his new record InchOut Of The DustInch, produced by himself, mixed by John Vallasis and mastered by Francesco Donadello at Calyx Studio, Berlin.InchI tried to combine ambient and drone sounds with strings and piano following a harmonic directionInch, Chronik explains. InchI wanted to make a soundtrack for a movie that was never shotInch. The mood is melancholic, but not only that InchThere's a dark side, but I made it run parallel with bright soft melodiesInch, Chronik continues. And on the topic of his music influences InchIt's hard to specify what exactly they were, but I think I'm close to Max Richter and in some ways to Arvo Part. Besides that, true inspirationa division of !K7 Musiccomes from my life experiences, even the small little things books, films, people I meet, travels. And being close to nature I would say that's the base of everythingInch.After three solo records and two in collaboration with Arovane, Chronik is now ready to launch his new work InchOut of The DustInch. InchThe title is a political quote about how we can fight against the crisis, but also against the existential anguish of surviving. A movement of no fear and the beginning of a new lifeInch, he explains. On how he developed the songs, he says InchI recorded piano, trumpet and strings in their analogic sound, then I used effects as I always do for the ambient and drone soundsInch.InchOut Of The DustInch shows a personal and unique style that brings Hior Chronik's music to a wider

?The pandemic in 2020-21 brought little to dispel the gloom among performing musicians. But these months also proved to be a time of reflection and artistic rebirth for many, the arts became a breeding ground for spiritual offspring, and so it proved for me; the genesis of the work you can hear on this album. Finally, there was plenty of time to spend many hours every day working on the project against a background of calm, which made Bach's music all the more comforting!
