lagrange point
lagrange point marks a turning point in the journey. It is the first point of no return - the moment when familiar perceptions collapse under the gravity of a deeper truth. A breakthrough. A shift. A place where internal limits dissolve and an infinite expanse of new sensations and meanings unfolds.
The name refers to a phenomenon in astrophysics - the Lagrange point - where the gravitational forces of two massive celestial bodies cancel out the pull on a smaller object, creating a space of perfect balance. For us, this is a metaphor for a spiritual experience: the exact moment when we first break free from the gravity of the material world and glimpse true inner freedom.

Structure and Atmosphere
The track unfolds in two contrasting movements, mirroring the stages of awakening:
- The first section builds tension and pressure - a slow, powerful surge toward release. Layers expand, the sound grows wide and cinematic, capturing the intensity of the inner transformation just before the threshold is crossed.
- The second section brings sudden stillness, like floating through silence. Boundaries vanish. Awareness takes over. A distant, reverberated piano echoes through the vastness, dissolving into the soundscape - a symbol of transcendence and the immensity of the shift.
Collaboration with Moby
lagrange point is the result of a unique collaboration with Moby - a pioneer of ambient and electronic music. His work has always explored the emotional and spiritual dimensions of sound, and this track continues that exploration.
Moby’s approach - minimal, reflective, cinematic - resonates deeply with the core idea behind this piece: stepping beyond the known, beyond form, into a moment of quiet, powerful transformation.
