“When you finally lost touch with the world and was left alone with you, this music will help to find a way out of this situation. She seems to speak with you – relax, throw out all the garbage from the house, renew the wardrobe and just go out into the street to breathe fresh air.

“Когда ты окончательно потерял связь с миром и остался один на один с собой, то эта музыка поможет найти выход из сложившейся ситуации. Она словно говорит с тобой — расслабься, выкинь весь мусор из дома, обнови гардероб и просто выйди на улицу подышать свежим воздухом.”

Johnny Simon not only composed and produced everything himself, but also played all the instruments – from electric bass and guitar to piano, blues harp and trumpet. Having toured half the world as a sideman, JS’s desire for something of his own has grown steadily. The result is available now and he speaks his very own musical language.
“A wonderfully deep hitting contemplative piece of contemporary poetic minimalism. Stripped to the essentials, the arrangement blends the hushing, languorous voice of Samuel Robertson (backed superbly by female vocals) with intimate string counterparts for a musical experience meant to be savoured obsessively.”

Quiet Arrows is the project of Samuel Robertson, a wordsmith who sings with a hushed voice on the softly undulating fingerpicking of an acoustic guitar. Teaching himself guitar for the first time at the age of 25, Samuel first began writing songs with his wife Hannah in the singer-songwriter duo The Woodlands, and Quiet Arrows evolved simultaneously. He introduced the project with Continents Were Made to Sink in 2012. Three years later, Year of The Cartographer yielded the fan favorite “Find A Way.” It amassed north of 28.1 million Spotify streams as he moved up popular playlists such as Your Favorite Coffeehouse, Dinner Music, Evening Acoustic, Folk Feast, and more. He maintained this momentum with Deconstructionism Parts 1 & 2, which presented acoustic and alternate takes of tunes throughout the Quiet Arrows catalog. In between working on music for the Woodlands and relocating to McCall, ID, he carefully crafted new Quiet Arrows music. The songs have a signature emotive quality -- poetic lyrics, introspective pondering, lush harmonies, interesting arrangements.
“An aerial extravaganza from the mesmerizing Indie Folk, in which soft rhythms are like trees swaying in the winds. An ecstatic moment for your soul, as if you were united with mother nature herself.”
“Воздушная феерия из гипнотизирующего Indie Folk, в которой мягкие ритмы словно покачивающиеся на ветру деревья подгоняемые прохладными осенними ветрами. Прекрасное упоение для души, словно ты объединился с самой матерью-природой.”

Artist said about this song:
"I wrote this song a couple of summers ago, and it’s really about trying to assert yourself, to yourself- and to shed burdening other people. There will always be self-doubt when starting this journey, which is peppered throughout the song. I produced it to sound like some long-lost nugget, ending with a ramshackle, campfire-like jam."
“An Experimental work that concentrates all your attention and holds you listening until the very end. The beautiful chord progression, of Johnny Simon gave life in his vocals and every single instrument, adding warmth to the sound.”
“Весьма экспериментальная работа, которая концентрирует на себе всё ваше внимание и держит в фокусе до самого конца. Очень красивая последовательность аккордов, -Johnny Simon- вдохнул жизнь в свой вокал и в каждый инструмент, тем самым придав звучанию теплоты.”

Artist said about this song:
“The song “Sculptures” is a walk through the eternal city. The impressions flow through me like scraps of words. Golden light, piles of stones, sculptures, misery and beauty leave behind ambivalent feelings.”
“There is always a balance in sound as well as in nature. At some point, we have to sink into an incredibly compact musical tornado of emotions. Music like "Close Your Eyes" should become part of the collection of each music lover.”
“Баланс в музыке, как и в природе, всегда имеет место быть. В определённые моменты мы должны погрузиться в невероятно тягучий музыкальный вихрь чувств и эмоций. Такая музыка, как эта композияи, должна стать частью коллекции любого уважающего себя меломана.”

“”Cégiu” has managed to capture a spiritual power in this Folk production. Psychedelic soundscapes are combined with influensive lyrics. The overall progression is slow and a kind of mystic atmosphere is strongly presented. Don’t miss this experience.”

The hauntingly beautiful piece “Glowing Goodbyes” is about letting go and is also the title track of Cégiu’s freshly released selfproduced album sonically created by electronic beats, cello and insect sounds.
Cégiu seeks the limit of pain. The musician/composer/producer is fascinated and inspired by the spectrum of moving forward, saying farewell to certain things and letting go. This concept is communicated with unique musicality and style in her songs. She produces her own beats from insect sounds and cello and is a self-made producer who intersects classical and electronic elements with experimental flair. The versatility of the layers of the music create an atmosphere of meditativeness and entrance listeners, sending them deeper into their psyche as each song progresses. It is difficult to put Cégiu’s music into a box – some have referred to it as ‘art pop,’ ‘chamber pop,’ or ‘freak folk,’ however, it’s more multifaceted than just one or two genres.
Inspired by topics of dementia, breaking down stereotypes, natural disasters and the menstrual cycle; her music expresses the mind of a restless artist in an emotional world. It’s no coincidence that many people are brought to tears when Cégiu performs live, as the artist’s natural ability to take listeners into themselves conveys empathy, vulnerability and understanding. Cégiu invites listeners to search for their own limits of pain and to release themselves into the soul of the music and let go.
“As we, the audience, are living into a situation, -Eyal Zusman- is able to analyze it, to creatively interpret and convey to us in the form of the stunning creations, like here in song -The wind has already blown-. Indescribable beauty in the wrapper of experimental folk and expressive vocals.”
“Пока мы, слушатели, просто проживаем ситуацию, -Eyal Zusman- сумел её проанализировать, творчески осмыслить и передать нам в виде такого потрясающего творения, как -The wind has already blown-. Неописуемая красота в обёртке из экспериментального фолка и выразительного вокала.”
