'Twas a splendid childhood Charmingly allure Satiated by wonders And magic to explore I dreamt that neverending Was the winding forest road That someday a shiny rainbow Will reveal a pot of gold Castles, fairies, airships Sorcerers, machines It all appeared tangible hauntingly within reach A scent of coffee, morning press Crayons playfully invoke Grandpa let us play some chess Beloved furry toy, a book And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows turning grey Abundantly my life was painted But now the colours seem expelled The forest path led to a cell 'Twas a splendid childhood Charmingly allure Satiated by wonders And magic to explore Wasn't neverending The meandering forest road One day the shiny rainbow Was no more to behold All castles, fairies, airships Sorcerers, machines Grown elusively transparent Dispersed, without a glimpse The scent of coffee, morning press Dissipated like perfume Grandpa, without goodbye you left Remained merely the gloom And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows turning grey Abundantly my life was painted But now the colours seem expelled The forest path led to a cell And my heart, it feels so heavy As I witness withering away Gardens and rainbows, turning grey The sky has lost its gleamy shimmer And its mesmerising breadth The boats have sailed to Neverland The crayons dried, lying useless Blue Marble, furry toys – all gone It seems that good had never won 'Tis now a memory I cherish To warm me – shivering of frost The colours faded, hope is lost

about

“Silhouette” is a 47-min conceptual music journey, based on a personal story about conquering inner demons. It's a colourful, melodic, and emotional guitar-oriented progressive rock album, influenced by bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, Marillion, Jethro Tull, Dream Theater, Fates Warning, and Opeth, and it’s mostly instrumental work with the exception of the song “Perspectives” where the listeners can enjoy the captivating vocals of Maja Shining from the Danish metal band Forever Still.

Another notable guest-appearance to the album is the guitar hero Jeff Loomis, currently a member of Arch Enemy and well-known for his work with the iconic metal band Nevermore.

In the album, I recorded almost all of the instrument parts, as my musical palette, besides the guitar, also incorporates keyboards, bass, mandolin, lap steel guitar, fretless guitar, electric sitar, and flute. The drums are recorded by Victor Alexandrov with whom I have played as a support act for artists like Stu Hamm, Greg Howe, and Dream Theater.

The album is conceptual and it's recommended to be listened to in its entirety, as a single piece.
