Description
The album, which has won the recognition and love of thousands of New Age fans, is dedicated to the work of the talented Russian writer Alexander Grin and is a possible soundtrack to the story «Scarlet Sails», where a dream comes true to the sound of the surf and the cries of seagulls.
About the music
The album contains exclusively lyrical, very melodic music filled with real bird voices and the sound of natural surf. The unusually melodious and soft tiembres of the Korg M1 synthesizer make the sound of this album timeless.
History of creation
The theme of sea romance has always been in the work of Andrey Klimkovsky. Having absorbed the romance of sea voyages described by Jules Verne and Alexander Grin, the composer more than once spent time between flights from star to star and sailing between mysterious, undiscovered islands. But in both cases, the main characters were human souls that sometimes found themselves on different sides of that thin but strong line dividing these worlds.
At one point, the musician realized that he was ready to say a lot by combining ideas in one album using the well-known story of the remarkable Russian writer Alexander Stepanovich Grin, «Scarlet Sails», as the core of his narrative. At the concert-presentation of the next album of the «ALEALA» project on April 14, 2000, the composer unexpectedly announced that in 7 days, at the next concert, another new album would be presented. This was a bold statement, since the album itself was not only not recorded. The album was not even written. But the main thing, as it turned out, was not in this. In fact, the musician simply felt that somewhere out there, in the blue sky, the entire album had already taken shape and now he only needed to muster up his diligence and attention and transfer all these notes and melodies here, to Earth.
And so it happened, the album «Scarlet Sails» written based on the story of A.S. Green was presented on April 22, 2000 at a concert-presentation in the Moscow cinema center «Almaz». The album was released in the year of the 120th anniversary of the outstanding Russian writer and became one of the most successful in the work of Andrei Klimkovsky.
