Album description

Fortadelis Promo Banner

Hello there,
This is my second  LP album released on the internet under Creative Commons license. This album represents a slightly different approach then "Ephemeris" including more rhythmic and groovy elements, a touch of world and ethno music, richer selection of instruments, but it's still an chilling ambiental electronic album ideal for relaxation and rich sonic expirience.

Enjoy it.
Kind Regards,
Fortadelis

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!

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.

Deep in the emerald green forest of the universe . ..
a wisp of star dust curls around in delicate splendor,
like a glowing ribbon, shimmering and undulating . . .
quietly covering scars of trauma and destruction;
an eternal war of novas and gravity . . . the birth and death
of stars; and the bodies of gods drift by . . .
an empty place long filled . . and all that is dreamed . . .
is . .

softly, smoothly the music slips through the seams of existence,
as easily as time and space wrap around the center;
and there is nothing to hold back the eager traveler . . . who hears . .
sees and finds
themselves soaring into the furthest reaches . . .
there, to find their souls . .. long ago lost in those hinterlands . .
a distance measured through infinity
and black holes . . .

Like a treasure found at the end of the rainbow . . .
the things of the soul are found in the wealth
of the mind . . . and creation is a gift of the gods . . .
this music
is as an emollient . . . magically healing . . .
and returning one full circle
to the agelessness of being . . .

Truly excellent. A must have.

As a whole, the album is really good with lots of interesting, good sounding tracks. Even individual tracks show a lot of variation and are interesting all the way through - "Sky Jump" comes to mind in this regard. I also loved a few of the more melodical tracks where the beat was not dominating, for example Electric Rain and Praying Voices.

Keep up the good work!
