"something new" is just another meaningless name for the patch I prepared for playing during the ambient/drone/noise gig in Tbilisi. There is nothing really new in that patch - the same modules, maybe just of newer versions.
But "something new" recently happened to me, my friends, my family, and my info field. Government of the country I left already did such things in the past, but now... now it also applies to me, now I am also responsible. I'll be honest - it scares me. I never felt my age that much previously, I never cared about that much number of people previously. Now more than ever I feel my responsibility to my future, the future of my family, my friends, and humanity.
Despite that while creating music I usually imagine something endless like space or chirping grasshoppers, something hopeful and clear like stars or sunrise, people usually call my music "disturbing"; I guess there should be a reason behind that and probably it's my emotional condition. I never actually felt good back in my motherland (except for several moments/hours/days thanks to my close people); I can't confidently say that it changed now, after all, I just left my comfort zone. But I tried. Hope that these tracks won't make you feel unpleasant emotions.

Performed and recorded live at my new home. It was meant to be recording of live set from gig, but sound engineer didn't turn recording on. Meh.
Four recordings of the same patch in different points of time.
