Roman Kolyada. Look into the Sky.

To listen to this music is as though to slowly sip fresh tea with mint – to touch warm freshness. I am listening to it for the first time now – when the daylong rain is hanging behind the window, when the distance between the earth and sky softly disappears, when yesterday's paths are already washed out, and tomorrows ones do not exist yet. Here and now transparent drops of notes fill the air with some crystal clean feeling of tranquility. Melodies by Roma Kolyada grow with tender force of green sprouts, they do not break the horizon – but they extend the space. And if it were possible to speak about music embodiment of quiet shine of a pearl – it would be worth speaking about it exactly now. At that, this would be identically true both in relation to separate melodies, and to the album as a whole. Internal balance, harmony of the album are such that it really sounds as an integral work, a saturated narration – but this does not cancel independent beauty and significance of the lines of which it consists. This is ... music of silence. Not emptiness, but – silence...
