Svet, Tanya Sha. Ten Step Journey.

Fortunately, sometimes you run across the albums about which it is very difficult to say anything – because you just frankly like them. Because, in spite of external simplicity, they contain so many ideas, various subtleties – one's ears just go astray..) Because the music tells you stories without words, while the words tell you stories full to the brims with music. In order to create such things, one needs not just to be able – one needs to love. Music – very different, from archaic blues to noise. Life – as it is. Quiet – from silence to the splash of one palm. Beauty – not refined, because it lives not in beautiful things but in your vision of the things. In the end, one just needs to love – as far as I know, there is no other way of actual living. And it is exactly what I hear in the album at every step – in the absence of superfluous details, haste and the desire to squeeze a hen into an egg. In the ability of not only feeling harmony – but also giving another breath to it. In the opportunity to find out something new about the long known motions, sounds, links. In the attentive light.

We all know that the way a thousand lis long begins with one step. This one – has begun with ten of them at once) And – let there be more...
