sve se kretalo i sve je stalo.
tonota - sve se kretalo i sve je stalo.

Format: Digital
Release date: 22th April 2020
Music: tonota
Label: self released
Buy: Bandcamp
'sve se kretalo i sve je stalo.' is tonota's first solo release. It is an ambient track that she developed for two years with very long breaks. In fact, most of the song as it is today was already finished in 2018, but it lacked the last touch to be completely done. She felt that she could not complete it with the set of tools that she had at the time, and she returned to her only in 2020 when she managed to complete it.
Press:

"....Halfway between (ambiental) post-rock and dub techno, the entire approach gives off deliberation and is almost film-like, restrained and yet a rich emotional palette. An entire album of this kind of material would be more than welcome…"

Artist’s comment:

The name of the song means everything moved then everything stopped. The main goal of this little project was to capture the moment when you are starting to get involved in something that seems great, but it doesn't end up as you thought it would, so in the end you decide to let it go. This song for me is an emotional trip through that process.Also, with doing this I wanted to find out what will happen with my creative process when I don’t have any deadlines and constraints and no expectations from organisers of events or labels. The whole experience was really a breakthrough for me because I was always nervous about deadlines and I had to constrain myself because I was studying psychology at the time and my life was well organised and there was no space for playing around with music.
