NIK_TO "Chronomaster" 2006 This is the musician’s 3rd album! After quite ambitious and conceptual project “Flora” Nik_To continues experimenting with electronic music but for all that basing on best examples of art rock, particularly Pink Floyd, Rush etc. Chronomaster is a skillfully prepared electronic suite with the full-fledged plot, prologue and epilogue.
Argument: Chronos generates seconds to combine into minutes and hours – they all then disappear in expanses of Universe. Chronomaster looks at round dance of seconds passionlessly. Centuries pass by, and he’s sitting and listening to the music of time.
