UTOPIA

Utopia is an unimaginable alter world that is created by Mastering Black’s universe of sonic escapism. When I have been overwhelmed with the amount of work that I’ve been doing in the past years, I have decided that I needed a certain get away – a certain sacred space for me to pursue the reason why I actually signed up for this in the beginning. Music composing that love is! Earlier this year, during a trip in African island group Cabo Verde, we went to this night excursion to the Viana desert. We have taken some random photos shot some videos of the Moon thru a telescope. That didn’t struck me as an amazing experience yet I was there many distorted feelings in my mind trying to enjoy and forcing my self trying i being in the moment. So when I have looked at these pictures back on a calmer state when I was home In NL, I’ve seen the vast amount of breather – a space – enough that is needed in life to let the blood flow in vein the way it’s suppose to flow. Envisioning your life from moon to create clarity – looking to life on earth – to understand what our mistakes are as human beings – or learning from 8 years old’s pure heart – that’s when my 8 year old daughter collaborated with the fist opening track to summarize the main purpose of our life – love or so called Utopia! – Īlker (October 2023)
