    answering some questions. We have already observed his drone / ambient work here.

    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: Can you tell us how the the track “Nova Mistero” came to light?

    ► virabelo: Nova Mistero (which is Esperanto for ‘New Mystery’) happens to be the sister track of Monolito (‘Monolith’). The two tracks share the same synthesis approach while also being the same total track length, which wasn’t hard to end up that way as they both share the same 60 bpm tempo. While Monolito is much darker in mood, I found that Nova Mistero has a much more lighter and open feel. Originally, the album was going to be called Monolito, with the album’s title track being the final track on the album. After later composing and naming the Nova Mistero track, I found that the track title sounded much nicer for the album name, and also felt the overall vibe of it was perfect to begin the album while the sister track, Monolito, closes the album.

    ► Here’s a vessel for elevation and release. Sustained tones drift freely, unmoored from rhythm or structure, giving the listener a sensation of endless suspension. The sound is airy and expansive, yet this very openness carries a subtle anxiety — there’s no clear anchor, no ground to return to. That’s both soothing and unsettling, capturing the paradox of freedom without support. Yet we surrender to weightlessness.
