At the core of the album lies a dialogue between two instruments and two approaches to form.
The album began with their very first improvisation session: a woven tapestry hung on the wall, and its pattern already seemed to hum with an invisible rhythm. That quiet structure became the starting point. From there grew a series of improvisations in which sounds intertwine like threads, forming their own Ornament Fluctuations — shifting vibrations of textures and rhythms.
Artem’s piano runs through the Soma Cosmos pedal, dissolving into airy, living sonic spaces where strict structure gives way to fluid motion. KS Buraya plays the Soma Flux, shaping sound with gestures in the air — no keys, no divisions — becoming a free, guiding thread opposing the tempered scale.
The music unfolds like woven cloth: each line responds to another, creating a pattern of living interaction — the warp and the weft. The final strand of the ornament is the voice processed through Soma Pipe, entering the texture as the last, songlike thread.
Ornament Fluctuations is a story about the meeting of form and freedom, structure and breath. It reflects on the resilience of sound and its ability to transform: from a wave into steadiness, from an electronic pattern into a piano phrase.
Here, fluctuation becomes a symbol of continual change — unpredictable yet harmonious. And the ornament becomes the very fabric of the music, stretching, evolving, and carrying the imprint of the artists who wove it.
