"This is the first batch of pieces written roughly between 2011 and 2020 and recorded in Berlin in November 2020 at the beautiful LowSwing Studio. The tunes for the session are all small forms that didn't end up in any particular set or a suite. At the time the music I was listening to and picturing myself playing was getting continually further from the genre these short jazz heads were written and I thought that if I don't make an album out of them now I don't know if I ever will. The basic production choices were inspired by some classic Rudy Van Gelder albums as well as the basic direction for the mix, not in an attempt to match the techniques, but hopefully have some similarity in spirit. The main session was just one afternoon with two good friends (Igor Osypov and Jesus Vega) recording all songs as a trio. The following months some post production sessions followed featuring the other friends and colleagues (such as Dima Bondarev, Sölvi Kolbeinsson and Yuriy Seredin) for arrangements, overdubs and interludes, adding a more modern producing approach on top. By the end of the production it felt like the tunes all took directions they wanted, and constituted a varied but still coherent selection. With time that had passed since none of us are unchanged and neither is the music, and that's exactly what the album title is supposed to stand for"
