Freedom and Eternity

There are things which an author can express only through his creations.

And the music of Viktor is expressing those deep aspects of his soul, which are difficult, even painful to be expressed in the insane rhythm of the everyday life.

When I am listening to his music, I have a feeling of connection with, and knowledge of the soul-creator. I connect with Viktor's truth through the soul of his compositions.

It seems that every tune has its own history and has a soul, and lately I hear so little music that has a soul.

Something more - Viktor's tunes carry Depth and Inner Self-Consciousness. maybe because he was honest with himself, when he was writing them.

And along with the Pain which appears in some of the tunes, they carry a much conscious, suffered and true Freedom.

Now the compositions themselves ask for inner Integrity and Honesty from those who are listening to them.

If the listeners can't afford to be honest with themselves, they may not be able to feel the power of the this music, neither to connect with its soul.

And the Magic in a composition is that it carries and delivers within itself the state of its creator to those who are listening to it.

A composition carries in itself the power of its author as well. It is the precise imprint of the condition of creation in the moment it's born.

That's why music often heals and invokes different feelings.

As a music author, the most important thing for me is that the acts have a soul - that makes them Free and Eternal.

That way they can connect with the souls of the people which are moved by them; so that they can be a bridge between the spirit and consciousness of a man; so that they can be love, hug, power, healing and change...

Then actually the music behind all this isn't important anymore - it's the soul.

And the Viktor's tunes have soul, they are Free and Eternal.

They can connect with the souls of those who listen with their hearts through the power of the spirit of their author.

As I connected with his soul through his music which I understood as Infinite and Deep Freedom and Eternity

The Truth

We need to defend ourselves from the lies of the outer World. We need to defend in order not to loose the Truth from our sight.

The World is good in its essence, but lately the powers of Greedy Capitalism hand in hand with Aggressive Nihilism are trying to take us away from the Truth with which we are born.

They need to do so - the more they can take us away from it, the more they can control us, out thoughts, emotions, ideas, ideals - ourselves.

The more we are brainwashed that there is no Truth, the weaker we become.

This music is speaking about the struggle to keep the Inner Truth as clean a possible. The struggle to remain human, despite the strong winds of inhumanity lately.

This music is speaking about that Inner Truth itself - that inner feel of joy of just being who we are, of silent thanking for all the gifts, goodness and health that we receive as granted.

And thanking for all the Pain that we receive as well: that so precious Pain which is the corrector of our lives.

Because, what do we become without Pain? Emotionless, senseless creatures, immersed only in ourselves.

With Pain received in a right way - we become free again.

Free as we were when we were children: unchained, joyful, playful.

And here somewhere does lie the beginning of understating one's own Meaning of Life, doesn't it?

So, most of all, this music is speaking about the very important Truth: that there is a Meaning of Life, and deep down we all know it and feel it.

Subconsciously and  intuitively maybe, but strongly and undoubtedly.
