„This is the Zodiac speaking”

show Tauron Nowa Muzyka 2021

Agim presented the soundtrack for the game This is the Zodiac Speaking this time, which was performed live for the first time in Silesia. Agim was accompanied on stage by drummer Łukasz Moskal, complementing the dark electronics with spatial sound.

For 50 minutes, the powerful speakers oozed immersive, illustrative ambient tinged with synthwave and a pinch of post rock. Such projects are undoubtedly missing in our home country, which is only just starting to get used to the fact that soundtracks do not always have to oscillate around clasical monumentality.

"The image is the most powerful for me, it affects me the most intensely in the creation process.

...I mainly based it on the script and screenshots from the game's locations. "

"But it is not without significance that I had read a lot about this degenerate and the very thought that I could in any way confront him, meet him, caused me a huge sense of fear and helplessness in the face of human cruelty."

Agim

"In the game itself, I tried to feel like a victim and evoke this anxiety, in order to find a means by which I could build an atmosphere around the game through music. The first thing I felt was a pounding heart, but a strong, pulsating one. This reaction gave me the answer to the concept of the entire soundtrack."

Agim

"The only light I shed in this music is the ending track “Closure.” I cursed in it such ordinary human naivety and faith in goodness, even slightly exaggerating this message in a simple melody."

Agim

"Darkness" adores my artistic space quite strongly and also fits the general mood I've been trying to create in lately. It's a mix of melancholy and noir.
