About Hajo:

Alojz Hajovsky (mastermind of the slovak prog band sensation ATYPIC, which released its debut album APOTROPAIC in February, crowned with several superlatives) took advantage of the time when the band took a breather after the album's release and together with the well-known slovak multi-genre drummer Jozef Ragan, started working on an instrumental album.

Both have already discovered in the past that they have similar inspirations (fusion jazz, prog rock/metal) and their collaboration could create a very interesting project.

About anTristis:

anTristis is a multi-genre guitar album, which proves that diversely composed and arranged music does not know the limitations of genres and can sound attractive. Multi-instrumentalist Alojz Hajovsky plays electric, classical guitar and fretless bass, the sound of which has inspired him for many years and has been given a relatively large space on the album, but he also uses ambients, piano and synths to create the right atmosphere. Jozef Ragan plays a special drum set with 3 snares and a pandeiro.

The entire album is specified by clear melodies, refined harmonies, alternating between rhythmic and irregular passages, changes in mood, instrumental maturity and innovative approaches.
3 songs on the album are heavier (the opening oriDjental, the following anTristis and the fourth haruWomatsu:Aki), they could be described as prog rock/metal, 2 songs are fusion jazz (haruWomatsu:Fuyu and wArpeggio). The album includes 1 dramatic symphony in unusual measures (cavalliInFuga), a dark prelude on classical guitar (forLeikur) or a song in the spirit of stage music with a Nordic mood (andStæður) or one song played entirely with tapping technique (equusQuagga), or one almost "pulpfictionish" (kotoMeetsPetra). 3 songs have an Asian ethno touch and diversify the modern sound of the album.
