Helix by Morakh

Valera Morakh from Podolsk releases his second album Helix with the “Mestnost” label – his first one was titled Limes . This release, both for the author and for his listeners, is a journey through the points in time that are marked by newly made and very intense emotional turmoil.

Morakh himself associates the release of the album with geography, with flashes of euphoria against the backdrop of wondrous and mysterious places, with the enigmatically beautiful shadow of Podolsk, which the author is inextricably linked with through his soul and life events. “This album would make a good travel companion. When some tracks from the album were still at the recording stage, I listened to them while traveling through the picturesque and scenic spots in Turkey - for example, the track Green Canyon is specifically dedicated to one of many geographical locations that left such a huge impression on me. This is a very nostalgic album for me. I poured my love and soul into it. It is a musical recollection of the good times that I would happily return to,” says Morakh.

Even though, the beat does personify the heartbeat of the album, the soul of this piece lies definitely with the melody. What is more, the tracks are very dynamic, in terms of both emotion and the awe factor. Each new square is fraught with intrigue, and the wealth of musical material used by the author to record the tracks provides a plethora of new insights for dozens of plays to come.

Music, as the most universal language of feelings, allows us to tap into the emotional experiences of those people who are capable of stirring them up to an unspeakable amplitude. That way, the entire spectrum of the author’s emotions is laid bare and the audience can pick up on it and relive it. All they need to do is simply turn on the music and unwind.
