COLLAPSE

Collapse tells the story of living species (human, animal, or extra-terrestrial), civilizations, planets, and the universe… the path from creation to nothingness, how the small and big elements of the universe all exist through birth and death.

The album includes two main parts of four tracks and a pivotal song in the middle. The first part evokes the birth with Origins, the apogee of the nature with Forest and the great discoveries with Neon. The fifth track hints at the second part, chaos and destruction rush into the Breach. Futile resistance and useless denial through Uprising and Backbone do not allow the escape from the inevitable Collapse.

Collapse is Macgray's most complete work to date. Between warm, organic sounds and colder, more dramatic themes, this album presents a captivating blend of acoustic instruments and synthesizers with a symphonic dimension.

JOURNEY TO THE DAWN

"Journey to the Dawn" is the collapse of a man's world and its subsequent reconstruction. Panic attacks follow glimpses of absolute calm. When the inner voice awakens, reality is buried. Shadows of the unconscious become real. The whirlwind of thoughts suffocates. There is no way out, only a sense of the imminent arrival of the end. The man rises, falls, rises, falls, till he finally learns to live again. The universe is no longer flawed. The voice survives but the man is now almost free.
