And After…
is an imaginary journey into probable and improbable worlds.
The author integrates both traditional musical writing and sounds drawn from the most recent technological innovations.

Constructing “And After”
“And After” is written using essentially traditional means, based on melodies and harmonies with moderate dissonance only.
We added rhythms and music sequences which can be engineered exclusively using computers and synthesizers.
Sounds are basically created thanks to technological breakthroughs ranging from the first steps of electronics to the most advanced methods, i.e. analog synthesis, sampling, granular synthesis, physical modelling, artificial intelligence and a few more.
Advances in electronics and data processing have enabled the development of sound materials to levels which were unimaginable just a few years ago.

However, “And After” is not an album of musical research. It is widely inspired by the writing style of movie soundtracks.
Each melody is linked to a story inviting the listener to create his own imaginary universe.
In essence, “And After” might be simply understood a movie without pictures.
