about

'Trees and Roots' is our new album and new experiment. For the first time, we abandoned the guitar solos that had been central to our previous work and here we embraced a more tactile, exploratory approach. Sergio Berry used a series of custom electroacoustic instruments using unconventional materials: wooden and plastic boxes, strings, stones and even paper envelopes fitted with piezoelectric sensors. These objects were manipulated, processed through pedals, and layered into intricate textures. Alongside these are Igor’s immersive Ambient drones created by using Eurorack modular synthesizers. Field recordings gathered across Ukraine from over the years add another dimension of intimacy, anchoring the album in the natural and cultural environments that inspired it.

This album is dedicated to the mythology, folklore and natural beliefs of our ancestors. Trees have long been sacred in Ukrainian culture, representing strength, wisdom and spiritual continuity. Each track bears the Latin name of a tree revered in these traditions, reflecting both its physical roots and the metaphorical roots of identity and belonging. In this sense, the album is both a personal and cultural statement: a meditation on resilience, memory and the quiet power of nature to heal and sustain.

The sound of 'Trees and Roots' is meditative yet charged with a fragile tension, balancing organic resonance and abstract tones. Drones swell like distant winds through the forest while percussive textures suggest movement beneath the surface. It is an album of layers and spaces, inviting deep listening and reflection. At its heart lies a quiet determination: to preserve the stories and symbols that shape a people, even in times of uncertainty and upheaval.
