Farbod Biglari - Waltz for Baran (The Rain Waltz)

Delving into the heart of his creative process, Farbod Biglari's "Waltz for Baran" pays homage to the timeless work of Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani, infusing the piece with a delicate balance of nostalgia and elegance. The genesis of this composition dates back to Farbod's early teenage years, where a simple melody on the guitar sparked a journey of musical exploration and growth. Now, transformed into a cinematic masterpiece through a collaborative effort with Maria Duque, this release stands out for its deeply personal narrative, evoking a sense of introspective longing and poetic imagery. As the release date of June 16, 2025, fades into the past, "Waltz for Baran" remains a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music to transcend time and space.

The New Solarism - The Kiss

With influences ranging from Nils Frahm to Arvo Pärt, 'The Kiss' stands out for its exploration of the violin's versatile soundscapes. The recording process, conducted in Leipzig, reflects the city's rich musical heritage, infusing the album with a sense of artistic legacy. Through a minimalist approach utilizing violin, effects, and loops, Izabela Kałduńska crafts a mesmerizing sonic tapestry that invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of emotive melodies. As The New Solarism embarks on a tour in western Germany, their music resonates as a testament to the power of self-expression and introspection in a time of uncertainty and isolation.

"Under The Stars" promises to mesmerize fans with its soft and sexy R&B-intro, complemented by a stardust-effect that sets the mood for an unforgettable musical journey.
