'Padurea de Aur' release

The Golden Forest (Padurea de Aur) has evolved from its previous stems of Silver and Bronze (Padurea de Argint / Arama) and is the final release of this trilogy. Presented on CD and vinyl, the works on those two mediums differ, although are held together by the main narrative theme of nocturnal forest flowing into morning dawn.
Vinyl pieces are the electronic interpretation of the work with more rhythmic musical elements, whereas the CD offers more complex classical compositions, recorded with an orchestra at the Bucharest Conservatorium.

Unfortunate as one could be if wouldn't be immersed in mysteries of tales. Such essence of our childhood mind, most pure and open determins one's imagination for a lifetime and beyond..

Absorbed reflections of all kinds through reading, listening, or seeing them in pictures... and hearing sounds that make us dream and wonder, questioning reality.

All kinds of visions and infinite perceptive possibilities shall manifest in those who find a piece of mind to follow the world of Yojik.

Yojik ConCon is a contemporary concept conceived by Petre Inspirescu in the beginning of 2010. With a varied artistic background, inspired by all things natural and mystical, Inspirescu intends to return classical into the world of mediocre contemporary arts. Moods and atmospheres of all the living things can travel through the sound of classical, and through finding a balance between history and avant-garde a new phase of musical experience is given to us.

His first project π Ensemble envelopes themes for piano, violin and cello, in collaboration with other classical musicians, eventually leading to compositions for orchestra. Project's first trilogy of evolutionary process in a forest, [Padurea de Arama > Argint > Aur - Bronze, Silver and Golden Forest] is an ambiguous metaphor for growth and life, where musical themes reflect different processes of nature, cycles of light and movement of time.

The compositional properties of music consist of two elements - classical harmonies and themes of instrumental nature and electronic atmospheres, which add texture and subtle underlayer of sound.

π Ensemble has made the first live performance this summer of 2011 as a modest duet of cello and electronics. Further incentives of the project is to perform with a full orchestra in a classical concert environment, furthermore stretching ideas to experiment with various acoustical spaces , indoor as well as outdoor surrounded by nature. Involving collaborations with other forms of art such as visual language in photography, choreography, cinematography and animation, Inspirescu desires to project his artistic vision by integrating aesthetic mediums into classical and modern creative culture.
