Solemnoire - The Black Sea Workbook (2017)

Solemnoire's "The Black Sea Workbook" is an intimate experience of distance and longing. Inspired by a magic summer in Varna, it conjures up the vision of a primordial world, an imagined Black Sea as it might have been millions of years ago.

Ten tracks pull you into a kaleidoscopic daydream of ancient continents overgrown with tropical green, pristine landscapes of austere beauty, and the deep body of an ocean pregnant with life. A sense of personal revelation fills you as you travel through moments of majesty, melancholy and wonder.

It is your world and your discovery. You who gazes toward distant shorelines, walks under a disapproving sun, imagines the dance of marine lifeforms, and trembles at the traces of prehuman activity. You who is permeated by a sense of longing, for the comfort of a remote world unmoved by human concerns.

And as your journey unfolds, the music never strays far. It stays close to you, like a trusted friend.
