Konstantin Ionenko. Noema. /digi-pack/.

Unlike the previous one, Kostyantyn Ionenko's second album sounds less... mathematical, let's put it so, well, and more emotional. Although these are anyway not flashes or explosions, but – light fog, hints, mid-tones, mid-shades.. Heat and cool interweave here rather whimsically – one only needs to make a little step aside to be inside, in the heart of the music, and for it to appear in one's heart. Do you remember how Alice in Through the Looking Glass moved? ..this is music of thoughtful moments that suddenly acquire timeless depth, these are shimmering melodies with a thousand reflections – and one not always understands whether the melody flows or rather simply shines with its scales in the changing light while you flow past it, with it, in it. After all, the very name of the album seems to suggest that the objective world is somewhat different from the world in our imagination, right? And thus the same object, state, event – may have a number of fluid reflections through our thoughts and emotions. The album "Noema" very gently, subtly plays with outlines and strokes, draws pictures and moods – but leaves enough space so that you could fill it with your own content. This is respect, in a way, and from it the dialogue grows.
