_UTOPIA

utopia.

“Utopia is an unimaginable alter world that is created by Mastering Black’s universe of sonic escapism.

When I have been overwhelmed with the amount of work that I've been doing in the past years, I have decided that I needed a certain get away - a certain sacred space for me to pursue the reason why I actually signed up for this in the beginning. Music composing that love is!

Earlier this year , during a trip in African island group Cabo Verde, we went to this night excursion to the Viana desert. We have taken some random photos, shot some videos of the Moon thru a telescope.That didn’t struck me as an amazing experience immediately… yet I was there many distorted feelings in my mind trying to enjoy and forcing my self trying i being in the moment.

So when I have looked at these pictures back on a calmer state when I was home In NL, I've seen the vast amount of breather - a space - enough that is needed in life to let the blood flow in vein the way it’s suppose to flow. Envisioning your life from moon to create clarity - looking to life on earth - to understand what our mistakes are as human beings - or learning from 8 years old’s pure heart - that’s when my 8 year old daughter collaborated with the fist opening track to summarize the main purpose of our life - love or so called Utopia! -

The last light of sunset danced its way to darkness and he was alone, but this was what he wanted..
