Album was created in the process of acquaintance with the world of the modular synthesizer. Nikola always liked melodic music, but dance music, more rhythmic, did not leave him indifferent. He set the task of combining harmony and melody with rhythm so that it would not be too harsh and at the same time not too melodic.

Negorod call this album the transition from virtual instrument to real instrument. In the process of creating this album, he was chasing an interesting sound and its harmonious change, depth of overtones and electrical overload. 

The album is the beginning of a social and musical presentation of Nikola as an artist. Both melancholic moods and optimistic, cheerful moods can be traced in it.
