Approaching Chaos is a song from his album SONIC MOTION:
Few words about album & the song:
The songs were created during half an hour of free improvisation. By talking before recording, we designed a concept and then with insight of the present state of mind we moved between different emotions and reacted to them. Our music moods, now soft and bright, then sinister, threatening and wild became caught in the universe sound dimension.
»Sonic Space« is the reflection of the ambivalent, floating and rhythmically non-defined musical pattern which creates a kind of musical foyer. From here, the improvisation escalated and drew near a chaotic (de)valuation of the concept in the culmination, captured in the song entitled »Approaching Chaos« where, taken away from totality, it functions as an independent part.
