The project: Shedneryan
is a work that has always been in Roger’s mind, but lack of resources,
experience and strength were the reasons why it was impossible to do
till now. For Roger, his two latest works - Point of no Return and The
Dark Symphony have been like training for the future conduct of
Shedneryan. After finishing this CD’s Roger finally started to feel
that he was sufficiently prepared for his masterpiece. In that period he
has been investigating different sounds and ways of composing. But the
writing and recording of Shedneryan haven’t started until he had
completed The dark symphony, in April 2009.
One of the difficulties in Shedneryan was the fact that in order to save the main idea, the main thread, Roger needed to adapt his mood, his feelings to the atmosphere of specific point of composition. He was balancing between his emotions and requirements of the work, so that work was his emotional guide. In the middle of the process of composing Shedneryan, Roger found the solution of this problem – he create a main melody which was possible to arrange in different ways (by changing the background music, the pad under this melodies). So Roger could show his state of mind while Shedneryan could hold a consistent musical thread.
The history: One of the main goal of Shedneryan is that it becomes a mental blank canvas. That each person can create their own story. For this reason the only pattern that is presented as a thread is simply the action of opening a magic music box which allows us to create whole world using our imagination. From there, accompanied by the musical soundtrack, listener will visualize himself images, movements and colours from all over his mind to what he hear in terms of what he perceive. The interesting thing is that Shedneryan will create as many stories as there are people in the world. Adding that the same person can create endless versions depending on the mood which appear during listening. The tittle: The title of the CD has been invented by Roger to name the magical music box. When we open any search engine such as Google, we can put there random letters or words and find there almost everything. The idea was to find the word that doesn’t exist, or at least have the minimum possible inputs. So far Shedneryan haven’t existed. The cover: All covers relating to the music of Roger have always had great importance in his work. And for Shedneryan, the cover must be very important too. This covers should follow the same line style - magical, surreal and unreal. At the same time they should be also unique and different one from another. The cover is the only aspect that Roger has chosen to entrust to someone outside. Long time ago, Roger received an email from a German artist who had encouraged his music. He volunteered to create the cover of his next CD. Roger loved her artwork and saw immediately that the line style of Eva Ludwig was perfect for the continuation of musical art that accompanied the covers so far. Since that mail, for a few months they were talking about how the image should illustrate Shedneryan. Eve has created many sketches and notes for analysis and in order to get a unique piece to accompany the music perfectly.
After some debates a full understanding appeared between them, and Eve could begin her artistic work. It took her several months. The cover is full of details and symbolism. The picture shows the box Shedneryan in a fantasy world where Roger will lead us through his music. There is an ear-shaped opening symbolizing the hearing. By the ear we can enter into that magical world. Outside is the reality. That is one of the differences from the last two covers, for Point of no return and The dark symphony, where it was the unreality which sensed in the other side. Some fine threads carry the musical vibrations from the case to this fantastic world trying to give a musical shape to it and to all the characters and creatures inside of it. The atmosphere surrounding the box is very ambiguous. It can be water or sky. Depends on the moment and the situation in the history. As happens with the clouds and imagined shapes in them, if we look at the contour of the mountains, we can see a face perhaps enigmatic, dark. A menacing entity. |
