Music

This album uses numerous stories in the shape of solo accordion tracks to give the audience an understanding of the creator’s mind.

“My City” is a synonym for the creator’s mind and the “Storyteller” (mentioned in the first track) visualizes this imaginary land through multiple stories and tracks.

1.”Storyteller”:

In this piece, The “Storyteller” (a.k.a the creator of the album) invites the listeners to listen to his stories.

This piece,being the first in the album, readies up the listener for the uncovering of the creators mind, in the form of stories.

2.”Blossom”:

The second track of the album titled “Blossom” represents the arrival of spring. The subtle changes of the weather, nature and the “townspeople’s” feelings portrays a new chapter in the creator’s personal story.

3.”Tāsīān”:

”Tāsīān” is the third track of the album and the first of the “Moonsick”  tetralogy. Originally meaning “the feeling of longing and sorrow caused by loss or missing someone”, ”Tāsīān” Retells the character’s (the main character from the “moonsick” tetralogy) life before the madness that ensues in the next addition.

The feeling explored in this track becomes the basis for the events that follow.

4.”Lunatic”:

The album’s fourth addition, “Lunatic”, is the centerpiece in the tetralogy by the same name. Its story comes from an old folklore stating that staring at the full moon  for too long will cause madness and insanity. Here, the feelings explained in the last track put our character in a vulnerable position. They stare at the moon in their solitude resulting in them becoming a “Lunatic”.

5.”Madness”:

“Madness” is the fifth track in the album and the third in the “Lunatic” tetralogy. In this piece, evident by it’s name, the creator delves into the madness that ensues after the main character in the tetralogy becomes a Lunatic. A form of insanity caused by sadness, longing, anger and bewilderment. Chaos at it’s peak form.

6.”Freedom”:

The sixth track of the album, “Freedom”, as the last piece of the “Lunatic” tetralogy, deals with the challenges of acceptance.

At this point in the story, the main character of the tetralogy, by examining and understanding his fate, chooses to accept it and rather than distancing himself from the grief he’s experiencing, he embraces it.

7.”Autumn”:

For years there has been a devastating fall making life harder and harder on the townspeople. The seventh track, rather than talking about the yellowness of the leaves, talks about the misery of the townspeople.

8.”Bright horizon”:

Every night becomes day, and every calamity comes to an end.

The eighth track of the album, doesn’t forget the adversities and at the same time, spreads the message that it’s all gonna be alright in the end. A piece full of hope, which captures the fighting spirit of the townspeople against the eroding fall.

9. “The Sun’s tango”:

In the ninth track of the album, the creator tells us about a brighter future. In this 4 meter piece, the creator makes the sun dance; because on the other side of the horizon, the sun is dancing.

10.”Sidewalk”:

The album’s tenth track, invites the listener to take a stroll down the sidewalk of life but this time, towards the past. Reminding us of all of the beautiful moments that our mental preoccupations and the fast pase of life deprived us from witnessing and appreciating. The confrontation of our wasted opportunities and all of our momentary happinesses, alongside all of the people we have passed by along the way, Were all parts of our life without us noticing.

11.”Carousel”:

The eleventh track of the album, “Carousel”, is a reminder of all the sweet memories we had as children.

Eating an ice cream on a sunny day or playing with our childhood friends, were all little joys more than enough for our littler hearts. All of which grew further and further away from us by the passage of time and our occupations. In this piece, the creator tries to imitate the same joy we felt in those moments; through the power of music.

12.”Endless Story”:

Time is the only limit of the human imagination. “Endless Story”, being the twelfth and last track of the album, it ends things on an open ending. But the storytelling continues, as they are still stories to be told.
