After four years, we temporarily leave behind all cosmic odysseys and travel to a different era...

We present the new conceptual album The Color of Pomegranates, dedicated to the eponymous film by Sergei Parajanov. Color of Pomegranates is a unique 1969 work that poetically depicts the life and creativity of Armenian poet and musician Sayat-Nova. Parajanov’s film, full of symbolism and vivid visual metaphors, is divided into episodes covering the poet’s childhood, his love, spiritual quests, and tragic death, with minimal dialogue and a focus on music and imagery.

In the spirit of the conceptual series of albums Oscillator, we invite you to immerse yourself in this world: a world of drama, religious experiences, warm childhood memories, unfulfilled love, and tragic death.

The album will be released on May 10th,

Friends! In the three years since the last release of Oscillator II, a lot has changed in the world, we have experienced certain shocks and changes.
