about

Music is my black joy. Reflecting my personal feelings and moods during things that happened to me last year. Happy songs as well as emotional and sad pieces. Love comes and leaves. Feelings stay. The world became crazy. Everything is different. Inside, I am the same.

Used software and hardware synthesizers. Some songs include sound effects and instruments made and recorded directly on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 personal computers. No emulation used. Vocals were modified by a hardware vocoder.

All tracks (except track 13) composed by Aki
