The Synesthesis - The Woods I. - The Unbound Mind, Winged Thoughts

The Synesthesis - The Woods I. - The Unbound Mind, Winged Thoughts


The greenwood woods close to my home town (oak woods) - Zoborske lesy - spring 2013


 Technical information:

I composed the original structure of this composition on guitar in the summer 2006. Almost all parts were used for the Woods I. Some rhythms were modified to make song more relaxing and soft. The idea to combine my composition with the soundscape of the dawn in the woods in the spring come from my great passion for the nature.  

Song meaning: 
 My music presents something which we consider as the epic soundtrack to the beautiful walks in the embrace of the nature...in the musical synestheses that are mainly woods close my home(http://www.panoramio.com/user/7371477).
Green everywhere, the intensive smells, virginly fresh air, silence, the souls of the trees, the strong atmosphere...the infinite calm, everlasting energy...
The nature is my temple of the meditation and the place of revitalising torrents of pure energy.
Yeah, I really enjoy relaxing in the woods, very often to clear my mind. When I save some time for me, I like to left behind all the chaos and stress of the everyday life of my world. Me alone in the woods with the deafening silence in the winter or the great natural sounds in the other seasons, with all that tweets and bird symphonies and sonatas.Thats it..."the truly walnussy" (to prave orechove) as we Slovaks said...so I devoted my music for the woods my favourite place to lose myself and let my senses tied. There I let my thoughts get the wings, my mind become unbound.

The Synesthesis - Introduction

The Synesthesis - The introduction

My Beginnings:



My name is Majo (officially Mario) and music was always my great passion. As the other musicians I express with my music my feelings, emotions, fantasies, moods, and other phenomenas of my internal world. I began to listen music naturally with no family influences. I started to percieve and reflect the eternal beauty of music very soon - already as a six year old kid. I discovered in music the fourth dimension of my identity, I rarely did the children activities without some music in the background, music was my guideman during my whole life. When child reflect sensitive the world of music, probably got the musical ear that is the most important condition to be the musician.But the child does not come and tell to parent, that he wants to visit some lessons of musical instrument.

Probably The Universe did not want me as the professional musician and save me from hours and hours of training abilities for instrument. I remember I listened music everyday when I came from the school. I got my first tape on seventh birthday and it was some eurodance from the beginning of the 90s:D My idol was Michael Jackson, he impressed me with his talent to sing and dance. Probably I had also my favourite toy but my favourite thing was my radio and taperecorder. My parents used to say when I did not listen to radio I certainly watched MTV. Music became my "obsession" and it "did not fade" to these days.

As teenager I began to discover by the pop and rock commercial music also alternative genres. After I started to listen metal I bought guitar and teach stuff by myself. Most of all I liked improvisation and to make up new riffs and themes.  In 2002 I discovered guitar composing software and I began to compose the mass of songs and I then I published my compositions to the special website for guitar composers in tablature format . To this day I have the folder with more than three hundred of complete songs, incomplete structures, themes and patterns.

I played for the short period in two rock/metal bands (Metathron, second untitled). During the study at university I had less time to compose, more I concentrated to practice guitar and drums in my spare time. Two years I visited the school where I got basic musical theory and some practical lessons. But classic chords songs was always waste of time and very boring for me. I still pay attention to improvisation playing e.g. directly to track from the player, like experiments with disharmony, I like chromatic playing and using odd time signatures. All these features plus virtuosity playing and influence from the classical and baroque music I found in death metal and jazz genres and subgenres.

I have very extensive musical taste. I will not mention all genres that I like. I do not listen only hip hop, rnb, trance, mediocre and profit aimed pop music, country and its similar subgenres. Actually I discover love for atmospheric ambient meditative and relax music and the records of the authentic sounds of nature(soundscapes, field recording of nature sounds).


I hope you like my music, in the future I prepare the Sonata for the oakwoods (Ouverture in Es mol - I. Allegro, II. Vivace, III. Presto).
 Symphonies with its movements called Zibrica (4 movements - Lento, Adagio, Andante, Allegro Assai) and Zobor (3 movements - Allegro, Andantino, Presto Furioso).
The composition collection The Woods will have five parts. The Woods I. - The Unbound Mind, Winged Thoughts is published yet. Second part will be titled as The Keeper of the Sacred Silence, third The Sensual Coalescence of Viva Aqua - The Embracement of the Souls - The Energy Transfer.

I will publish couple of shorts tracks (samples), which is not really complex compositions, all of them are approximately one minute long.

Enjoy my three compositions - The Illusion of Truth, Escape to the Embrace of Nature and The Wonders of the Night Sky.

I wish to all music lovers all the best in 2014!

The Synesthesis - Escape to the Embrace of Nature

The Synesthesis - Escape to the Embrace of Nature


In The Embrace of The Nature


Tribeč mountain range, close to Nitra,Slovakia



Technical / Composing information:



Clever ear can recognize that this short track has structure inspired by the orchestral movie scores. I composed this track in year 2004 with working title "Beauties of the Lost World". Original plan was to do this one as the keyboard overture (intro) to the acoustic part of the progressive thrash/death metal structure. Probably I was inspired by the structure with old In Flames songs(e.g. album Clayman).Close your eyes and imagine your fantasies and beauties of the nature. Maybe sounds can bring you imagination of rounding eagle above you and the rocky mountain. Its not field recording, just artificial FX, but if you will listen carefully you will find that sounds in the background of the track Escape to the Embrace of Nature.

Song Meaning:

The title is evident...its all about the love for the nature...the place where you can find the endless stream of positive energy and the beautiful silence with your heart beat, breath and sounds of nature all around you. So breathe this nice atmosphere in the embrace of woods, meadows, mountains.
