Selves, the latest album by Vienna-born and based violinist Alexander Nantschev is a musical journey that delves into the concept of multiple alter egos, each represented by a different track. The eight-song album explores various facets of the artistโs personality, embodying alter egos like the happy, the guru, the hippie, the astronaut, the romantic, the classical composer, and the rock star.
โTrustโ kicks off Selves with anthemic music featuring glimmering guitar tunes, upbeat drumming, and a captivating duet of two singers with high female vocals and deep male vocals. The lyrics emphasize themes of resilience, optimism, and overcoming challenges.
Coming third, โWe Both Belongโ showcases swelling violins, relaxing guitar tunes, and a consistent backbeat. The ethereal voices create a meditative atmosphere akin to a guided meditation. The lyrics touch on introspective themes, contemplating life, fear, and the shared connection between individuals. The soothing instrumentation and affirming vocals contribute to a serene listening experience.
โTo_Rso 4โ stands out as an eerie and distinctive track that I just love. It presents anomalous textures, distorted sound effects, a hooky beat, and fuzzy voiceovers. Selves invite listeners to explore the diverse facets of the artistโs personality, all the while exploring theirs, too, with an even more adventurous record.
Selves by Alexander Nantschev offers a rich and introspective journey. Listen to the compelling appendment to the world of contemporary, rock, and classical instrumental music.
