The skies have split and Luna, an adventurer, travels back to her home village to perform a ritual she hopes will mend the heavens.

This EP is something that was born out of the need to do something different. I hope you enjoy it!

First of all I want to thank Pstlmoon for the huge amount of work she did for the cover art and these videos, and all the graphics on my social media etc! I urge you to check her out: fb.com/pstlmoon

Around 6 months ago I was feeling frustrated in my music. I felt like my composition was getting stagnant and my difficulties with the production side of things made me hate my tracks way before I was even close to being done with them. I guess the spark for this ep was initially an internet friend of mine reharmonising a piece of his for fun. That inspired me to try something new as well... Electronic music! It's not like I had never messed with it before but this time I put a bit more effort into things and the idea of a single track expanded into a 3 track ep which then got an intro added to it just a week before releasing it. The point of this EP was to just create and not get hung up on whether it's “perfect” or not. I succeeded in that to varying degrees as some people who have talked to me during the time I was creating this could testify :D.

I worked on the tracks like they were individual singles so their production isn't really coherent or anything, and imho some sound better than others. Nevertheless they form a story that keeps the EP together.

The storyline is something I would call a side story to an older instrumental piece I've released under my “main” project Ztla, called “Save the World”.

I plan to continue that story with further releases and to shed some light to what's actually happening because I haven't yet delved too deep into the whole lore I have cooked inside this head of mine.
