Description
SECOND TITLE IN THE LOCKDOWN TRILOGY 'CLAUSTROPHOBIC UNIVERSE' NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL.

In 2020, Polish Prog multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda (Riverside, Lunatic Soul) decided to conduct an experiment. He set out to create a third music world, independent of his band 'Riverside' & solo project, Lunatic Soul. A world which would differ stylistically from the previous two & underline the first steps he took in music.

30 years ago, a certain shy boy fascinated by the works of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis & Tangerine Dream, locked himself up in his room & started to think up his original music stories. He recorded them on cassette tapes, created covers for them & arranged them on the shelf next to those of his masters. 30 years later, when the world was taken over by a pandemic & an international lockdown, Mariusz was beamed back to his childhood bedroom, where he was reading & drawing comic books, playing games, listening to lots of music from cassette tapes... & recording his own electronic sounds. "Why not do it again?" he thought to himself, feeling inspired. "Why not create a new project where I will play only the keyboards? And why not sing it just like I used to when I was a kid? Simply 'Mariusz Duda'".

And that's exactly what he did. Between 2020 & 2021, he recorded & released online three electronic albums that make up the "Lockdown Trilogy".

'Claustrophobic Universe' is not an album inspired by books about astronomy & astrophysics. It's an album about a journey into our mind. The universe here is a metaphor for our escape from reality, escape to the place where we soothe our response to stimuli.
