Album description

This is my second LP album release on the internet under Creative Commons license. This album represents a slightly different approach then "Ephemeris" since it introduces more rhythmic and groovy motives, but it's still an ambiental, new age, and electronic album.
Enjoy it.
Kind Regards,
Fortadelis

another excellent work!

Mr. Tomislav Ocvirek - Fortadelis has shown again his ability to excite, energize and open your inner spaces through his music. His harmonies are changing like mountain waterfalls guiding our minds towards unknown spaces. Cover of the album is very nice, I believe Fortadelis did it himself.

This artist has many undiscovered potential and he is generous enough to show us part of his big musical work with this album too. Bravo and THANK YOU!

Ambient electronic at it's best!

For the lovers of powerful, alive and positive electronic, ambient and new age music, this album is a must.

It cannot be categorized into any of these genres, though. With his new album "Fortadelis", Tomislav Ocvirek not only keeps his promise to deliver "... recognizable easy listening style with spacious multi-layered arrangement, expressive harmonization, distinctive melody line ... and elements of surprise, improvisation and unexpectable harmonic turns" - he exceeds it by far.

A "Step to eternity" indeed it may become. The opener title is comparatively slow, more or less kind of a "sad soundscape". But already in the second title, "Homage", the change begins... a combination of pan flute, synth and more rhythm make you feel the horizon widen - while at the same time you get a feeling of being connected to earth. The next song, "Praying voice", reminds us of world music, "Exploration" seems to go out and explore it...

The rest of the album is also quite full of (positive) surprises, melodic, active, full of pressure... and letting loose. Spherical and down-to-earth at the same time. You can simply feel Tomislav's love for this kind of music - and for his attention to detail and having it "rounded up" perfectly.

But what do I tell? Go ahead and get the music - it's worth it.

And, Tomislav, thank you ever so much for sharing with those who really appreciate it! Even if I'll have to create a new format for it - this will definitely get some airplay.
