OBLIVION

NEW ALBUM BY TANYA KARYAGINA IS SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED IN MARCH, 2023

Definition of OBLIVION means the state of being forgotten, or a state marked by lack of consciousness. This album is inspired by the famous Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla and his famous composition OBLIVION, which he composed as a film score music. The aim of this project is to transcend the audience for a brief moment from the worries and struggles of this world into the beauty of musical sounds. 

A short film will be made for each piece in this album throughout 2023-2024 in hopes to inspire the audiences to connect musical selections to the stories that are being communicated through the intricate language of music.
