NIK_TO. The Flora.

In comparison with the previous achievement, "The Flora" of the electronic artist NIK_TO has fewer straight lines, sharp angles. However, the name obliges. The flora as such may become awkward only under the oppressive technogenic influence of the human – but even then it does not reject flowers. If you treat the live green world respectfully... personally I think that such attitude is the only chance for this world not to become a world without people. This album is green, as in it there are a lot of steep melodies, flexible rhythms, lots of balloons with strange sounds... One cannot call this musical picture smooth and thoughtful. It rather resembles a river – so different in its instant displays, but uniform, complete if you look at it from above... Here are also small brooks that saturate it, here are also narrow stone runs, and slow waters, muddy places – and absolutely transparent ones, whirlpools and deltas, and the exit to the ocean. What color will it be – salty, as the sea, green, as life, or boundless, as the sky? We’ll see... Anyway, this album has free internal horizons – thus, one cannot grasp, embrace everything at the first try... grow as a tree grows – above oneself – then you will get somewhere... see you... see us...
