about

Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.

This work was born in the silence between other major projects. The work explores the subtle beauty of the piano in an attempt to capture something warm and real and alive. Metaphors is a delicate, fragile and short work. In the 33 minutes of music, the piano hums and cracks and comes alive. If you shut your eyes, you will hear only truth.

PRESS

“The alias Glacis is itself a fitting metaphor. Like the protective sloped banks built around castles and fortresses throughout history, this kind of music can serve as a sort buffer zone that helps us preserve our sanity and mindfulness. Safe behind the walls, we can find a quiet place and just listen…“ Stationary Travels

“…the ten songs that make up “Metaphors” are marked by a fragile immediacy, deliberately not without errors and irregularities.
Like that of notes taken straight away on a white sheet, their imperfect lexicon from a formal point of view instead fully reflects the delicacy and the composed pathos of the Scottish artist, amplified by the grainy vibrations of the recording environment. Pure piano instinct.” Music Won’t Save You/Rockerilla

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
