“Mosaic At The Opera” returns with a new EP, “Asian Voyage”: four tracks that push the collective’s sonic journey even further, this time heading East. Dreamy, chillout, lounge and electronic sounds led by electric guitar intertwine in a musical narrative that soothes the soul and fuels the imagination.
“Asian Voyage” is a tribute to the gentle strength and timeless elegance of Asian cultures – ancient foundations of the modern world. At the same time, it’s a reflection on the frenzy of Eastern megacities: hyperconnected, vibrant places where wonder can easily give way to disorientation.At the helm of the project is Lucio Cillis (guitarist and producer), a composer from the European new wave and electro-pop-rock universe. Warm guitars and refined arrangements give the EP a sonic coherence that speaks of experience, exploration, and vision. A small musical diary that moves between melancholy and wonder, perfect for those seeking authentic pauses in a world that moves too fast.
Tracklist
01) Lazy Sun
Summer. Slowness. That laziness that unites all human beings: for a few minutes—the length of the track—even the sun, undisputed ruler of our days, seems to slow down. Lazy Sun is an unhurried sonic journey. Each note takes its time to stretch and gently caress the body and mind. A hymn to stillness, warmth, and the pleasure of simply being.
02) Midnight Transit
At the heart of Asian Voyage, Midnight Transit brings together cultures that may seem distant but are, in truth, deeply connected. Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and India blend into a sonic dream, leaving a gentle yet lasting mark. Each note is a step on a journey that is not only geographic—but spiritual.
03) Liquid Thoughts
Thoughts—ever-present and inescapable—float freely in Liquid Thoughts. Here, the mind is no longer anchored to Europe or America but dives into the deep, vast breath of Asia’s seas and oceans. A voyage across spectacular and surprising waters, like an emotional rollercoaster where every thought becomes fluid, like a wave that never stops churning.
04) Horizon Chaser
A fierce chase of sharp, quick notes—at times tense but always cohesive. The rhythm drives forward, yet never betrays the melody: everythingis in balance, between electric bursts and more meditative breaths. Thisis the closing track of Asian Voyage, like a low flight over unfamiliar cities slowly revealing their soul with intensity and grace.
