Hi everyone,

Here is my newest project:
Secrets of Calataria (2026)

The song combines atmospheric piano passages, modern synthesizers, orchestral elements, electric guitars and female vocals to tell a story about forgotten legends, ancient powers and the hidden history of Calataria.

Choosing a genre is not easy for this one. I would describe it as Cinematic Tech-Rock, but since only one genre can be selected, I chose Rock as the closest match to my musical roots.

The song was composed, arranged and mixed completely only inside Fender Studio.
One of the reasons I enjoy working with Fender Studio is the channel coloring system, which makes it easy to keep large projects organized.

The original idea comes from a game concept I started developing many years ago, which eventually inspired both the music and the virtual band concept behind the project.
The virtual band concept behind the project consists of several recurring characters, each contributing their own musical style and personality to the songs.
