ORIGEN : CD "ELECTRO"

This author named his musical concept 'Origen', after a great Christian philosopher, theologist and writer. He is from Kiev, and writes his music with God in mind. God is weighing in heavily with His ability to inspire the artist, because this sounds like the Music of God. This music sounds like it is echoing across the universe, particularly on the song 'Deep Space'. If space weren't soundless, this is what it would possibly sound like. In some sense, it must, because God is helping this artist write his album. This must be what God hears when He dips His Ear into our physical reality just to enjoy what He's made... before we get out there to muck it up. Hopefully, by the time we get out there, we'll all have the joyously contemplative vibe of 'Electro' in our hearts so we can explore His creation without exploiting everything we see. As for the music, it is multilayered keyboards unifying different aural experiences into one setting, focused upon whatever the artist is meditating. Throughout the CD, I hear sounds from a composer's mind that project what me might find. 'Strange Voices' for example seems possibly like what alien voices may sound like when we finally meet them. The entire album seems to be about contemplations in the mind of the artist. He moves from thinking about the Universe to the change in Russia ('Midnight Riots') to family and faith ('Song for Grandpa' and 'Return to the Church'. Alexsey Zakharenko of Kiev has delivered to us a great piece of music, and fortunately this isn't all. I'll be sure to collect the rest of his works.
