Magua On the Making Of “Silence Sirens Storm”
What was the creative process like for this particular song?
"Silence Sirens Storm" appeared by itself in Kyiv at the beginning of summer 2022. The song in general - the melody, the harmony - came together very quickly, but the lyrics and everything else took much more time; the process took me on a long journey)
What impact do you hope "Silence Sirens Storm" will have on your audience?
You know, I can't be 100 percent sure how the audience will perceive it. The song is simple and complex at the same time. I believe I managed to create a composition that reflects the inner experiences of a person faced with war.
What are you most proud about this track?
As I mentioned earlier, the song is simple and complex at the same time, but despite this, I think it is quite organic. It seems to me that despite its length, the entire message, both musical and lyrical, as well as the visual aspect in the video, are quite cohesive. It has a certain melancholic mood that constantly evolves but never gets lost. I really like that.
Can you tell us more about you as an artist?
My name is Vova) Magua - my One-man-band. I am a musician on the independent scene and I love music and everything related to it. I perform concerts and work in the studio)This is my lifestyle)
What role do you feel emotions play in your music, and how do you channel them into your performances?
Everything is interconnected: creating music and performing it (at least for me). Emotions are an integral part of all this; all songs are created specifically to be performed on stage. I mentioned that I am a musician on the independent scene, and I should also add that I am a rock musician, with everything that comes with it. Despite the fact that Magua is a one-man-band, the energy is absolutely rocky.
