Roman Kolyada. Expectancy. /eco-pack/.

When Roman was deciding about whether he should record the new album solo and in an ensemble, personally I voted for the ensemble – but. I'm now listening to "Expectancy" with pleasure: it has still worked out well. And I also think: this album can no worse than, say, the debut one ("Look into the Sky") serve as an introduction to Kolyada the musician, because it is not inferior in respect of its transparency and richness of colors – and yet it reveals him deeper, which is natural given the time and experience. Several pieces in the beginning are just about how it was before. And then – you catches yourself thinking: no, this is not ragtime – but a clear echo, and the figure of a ballroom pianist emerges in your imagination.. And then – you discover that it was the beginning, because the music departs from the shore of abstract lyricism and starts its travel throughout the world. Somewhere you hear the echo of North America, somewhere – of the Mediterranean, and here is a daguerreotype of Vilnius. Some themes just must make their way to a film – while others seem to challenge the idea of ​​intentional visualization, because there is fullness that should not be dispersed with any "reinforcement".. This album is like the delta of a powerful river, it hides under the lace of varieties its confident vector common for all the tracks. These are melodies of wide open eyes, which can be listened to even in complete darkness – and that are even able to help.. see.
