It is a fantastic world that feeds on spiritual entities and ideas, exists far away from reality and yet can be reached by anyone: on the album "Atlas of Imaginary Places", released in 2021, the German-Ukrainian pianist and composer draws a map of his imagination, which he fills with the help of his virtuosity, describing places like "Diamond Desert" or "Leviathan Town" on the piano and thus bringing them to life in the listener's mind.

Damian Marhulets's "Constellation Machine" is now the continuation of this concept, whereby his album can be considered in context, but also stands on its own. It also tells of the fantastic places, but from his perspective. For this, he was able to win over the Danish singer Line Bøgh, who understood his musical sketches without many explanations and enriched them with words: "I was amazed at how aptly she was able to extract from my unfinished musical ideas exactly what I had in mind musically myself. It was almost uncanny how well we understood each other musically without having met in person at the time," says Marhulets.

Danish artist Christian Gundtoft developed the image of the machine of constellations on the album cover, as well as a whole series of drawings depicting these constellations themselves. They were created parallel to the song lyrics and directly inspired by them. All in all, the work thus fits into the overarching map of the places presented, makes all those even more vivid and in turn increases the curiosity to indulge in what the participants have to report - each with his or her own artistic expressiveness.
