Across the Western Sea | A Cinematic Celtic Journey into Myth and Memory

Описание: The sea has no end — only memory. 🌊
Across the Western Sea invites you into a world between worlds, where ancient Celtic myth and cinematic emotion merge into one timeless voyage. Inspired by the legend of Bran mac Febail, this album reimagines his fateful journey westward — beyond the horizon, beyond the grasp of time — into the immortal realm where love and loss are the same breath of wind.

The sound of this album is born from two worlds: the heart of Celtic tradition and the grandeur of cinematic storytelling.
You will hear Celtic harp and fiddle, uilleann pipes, bodhrán, and bouzouki entwined with orchestral strings, horns, and distant choirs.
The female vocals hover like mist — wordless, ethereal, ancient as the tide — carrying Gaelic echoes that rise and fade like prayers over water.
It begins softly, with the intimacy of folk music beside a hearth, then swells into orchestral waves of emotion — where light meets shadow, and myth becomes memory.

⚓ The Journey in Sound

00:00 1. Call of the Silver Tide
It begins with a whisper — a single note trembling on the air. The tide stirs, the wind shifts, and the horizon calls.
Harp arpeggios shimmer like dawn on cold water, and Bran feels the pull of the unknown. The melody carries both wonder and farewell, a promise written in foam.

03:10 2. Hands of Oak and Faith
The ship takes form under calloused hands and whispered prayers. Each plank is a vow, each knot a heartbeat.
The rhythm of the bodhrán and the hum of low strings capture the sacred ritual of creation — man, wood, and destiny becoming one.

05:49 3. Farewell at Dawn
The harbor glows gold and gray. Loved ones wave from the quay, eyes wet with pride and sorrow.
Fiddle and pipe intertwine in a soft lament — a melody that breaks as the boat drifts beyond reach. It is both a goodbye and a beginning.

08:07 4. Through the Shifting Fog
Mist rises like memory. The sea swallows the sun.
Between one breath and the next, the world dissolves — replaced by islands that appear, vanish, and return as visions.
Whispers of flute and choir move like ghosts; the music becomes dream and prophecy intertwined.

11:26 5. Isle of Endless Laughter
Bran’s crew finds paradise — a realm of laughter without night, youth without end.
Strings dance in radiant harmony, light pouring through every note.
But beneath the beauty is a quiet unease; joy without shadow begins to feel hollow, eternal light begins to blind.

14:34 6. The Queen of Waves
She stands at the water’s edge — the Queen of the Land of Women — her voice both invitation and warning.
The melody becomes fluid, seductive, and unreal; harp, flute, and choir blur into one timeless chord.
This is love beyond death, a beauty that consumes itself.

17:39 7. When Time Forgot
Centuries pass in a breath. No aging, no decay — just silence wrapped in gold.
Harp patterns repeat endlessly, looping like waves against a still shore.
The music aches with perfection, a sorrow born of peace too long endured.

21:42 8. Return to the Hollow Shore
Home calls like a fading echo. The ship turns east.
But Ireland is no longer the Ireland Bran left. The coastline is strange, the language unknown.
A single fiddle cries above the waves — the voice of a man out of time.

25:38 9. The Weight of Ages
When his men step ashore, they crumble into dust — centuries reclaimed in an instant.
Thunderous drums and deep strings mark the moment time strikes back.
The music rises like a storm, and Bran understands: the voyage was never meant to end.

29:39 10. Into the Silent Light
He drifts into horizon and legend. The sea grows calm; the stars draw near.
Wordless vocals rise — a farewell to all worlds, to all memories.
The final harp note fades like a dying wave, and silence becomes sacred.
