The title may denote the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, finally learning the answers to how things turned out but being unable to tell your past self.

I compose my work for percussion and electronics with the definition of an emotion, serving as a reminder that humanity has no allowance to forget its past and there is a need to analyse our past and present reality as well: historically, emotionally, artistically. Along with some crafted percussion in the set up there was a decision to enrich it even more including an Ukrainian bandura, symbolically giving a perspective for a creation of past in a presence. This choice evokes plenty of flashbacks, sensations, bringing them into the tangible environment of the present.
