Vladimir Shinov, the author of this CD, says: "Nature and Eternal Spirit within it forever remains for me the most valuable sources of inspiration.Rhythmical changes of daylight and darkness, wind, forests and lakes, trees with their deep and hidden stories have formed my music. Other important ideas are Memory, Love, Unity with the cosmos."
