Thank you very much! It's a kind of crossover between folk, ambient and electronica. I like to call it "elvish post-minimalism".

This video appeared as a synchronicity. I was imagining myself standing in front of a mirror. I was thinking of mirrors and reflections. And that’s when I saw this video with that artwork. Very beautiful music and story 🌸 The "mantic berries" and "land of youth" concepts are very close to me. Your album is truly brilliant and magical!
@MerleBardenoirАй бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! Synchronicity itself is close to a mirror effect, since it's the image of an inner idea coinciding with an external phenomenon.
