<div>DRÅMA explores themes of faith, justice, violence, and desensitisation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is about how massive, horrifying events so quickly become background noise - just another layer of constant global drama - while in reality they are taking the lives of thousands of people, destroying families, futures, and entire worlds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This album is a way of processing my own desensitisation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Of resisting it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Of forcing myself - and hopefully the listener - to stay present with what is happening, instead of letting horror dissolve into abstraction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The music is human-made and old-fashionably analogue. It exists in opposition to numbness, automation, and the growing tendency to treat suffering as distant content.
</div>

<div><strong>Campaign Story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It all started on February 20, 2022 - four days before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That Sunday, I was in my studio with my friend and collaborator Scout Hansen, exchanging ideas and jamming. I found it extremely difficult to work. I was anxious, overwhelmed by all the signs pointing toward what was about to happen. I couldn’t comprehend the scale of greed and cruelty that one single power-hungry creature was about to unleash onto the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Out of that state - out of trying to enter the mind of a psychopath - “Serpent Song” was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, it is the only single released from my upcoming album DRÅMA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can listen to it on most <a href="https://listen.music-hub.com/JYf6r0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>streaming platforms</strong></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NOW IT'S TIME TO RELEASE THE WHOLE THING!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Asking for Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am releasing this album independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without label or licensing support, I am covering all production and release costs myself - including mixing, mastering, artwork, and distribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crowdfunding is the only way I can bring DRÅMA into the world without compromising its integrity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help ensure that this album is not only finished, but properly released and heard.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By contributing, you are supporting:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The final production and release of DRÅMA
</div>
<div>Independent, human-made music
</div>
<div>Art that refuses to look away
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Current Stage</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All studio work is complete.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The album consists of 9 songs, fully recorded and produced. The tracks are now ready for the final production stage: professional mixing, mastering, and release.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This means your support goes directly toward bringing a finished body of work into its final form - not toward an uncertain or unfinished process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Collaborators</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>DRÅMA was created together with an incredible group of artists:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Diego Ferri - guitars, production, engineering
</div>
<div>Volodymyr Nestryga - drums, percussion
</div>
<div>Dimitri Klochkov - guitars, bass, synths
</div>
<div>Andrian Lebedev † - piano
</div>
<div>Scout Hansen - lyrics co-writing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This album is the result of shared labor, trust, and long-term collaboration.
</div>
