DiamondNoise - Retrocausality (Profound Thought #2)

Retrocausality emerged from a keyboard riff spontaneously improvised on overlaid Wurlitzer and Rhodes patches in 2011. It’s also named Profound Thought #2 as simultaneously another riff, his ‘older brother’, Drowned in Cogitations (Profound Thought #1), was ‘born’ the same way under the monicker MazegDiamond at that time. Later on, after DiamondNoise were formed in 2021, this old material has become of interest and has been developed, reworked and polished to sound the way you hear it now.
The primary goal of Retrocausality is to demonstrate the true concept and style of this new project - a symbiosis of progressive rock and metal in a large number of subgenres attractive to its members.
The composition itself tells about the nonlinearity of time, as some prominent scientists like Stephen Hawking have long been theorizing and continue to theorize, namely that time flows in two communicating streams from the conditional past and future, directed towards each other, forming the present at the point of contact.
As for the video, it has been created using pictures generated by AI Stable Diffusion 1.5 (except for the cover/opening/closing shot by MazegDiamond).
We hope this video and music won't leave you indifferent!

Though this is track is harmonically simple for progressive music it’s a bit complex in the variability of forms, melodies and rhtythms, changing dynamics and stylistics as well as a combination of all the above. We tried to borrow a changed classical form and, using ‘question-answer’ tool, embed it in the standard song form. An attentive listener may sometimes notice melodies peculiar to the period of the Late Middle Ages / early Renaissance, pseudo-folk motifs and a couple of micro-jokes on disco and funk as our attempt to be more creative and easier. And to create rhythmic complexity representing time fluctuations, we used ‘tangled’ triplets, ‘stumbling’ syncopations and 7/8 time signature briefly in the metal section. As for the dynamics, Retrocausality is a typical prog ‘roller coaster’, that is, fast, slow, or even ambivalent. Anyway, when a creator strives to write a piece, this process looks not like a monologue, but as a dialogue, the music itself asks to be felt, played and revealed. We always remember and easily accept that everything planned will never be implemented exactly as we desired and, in the end, we are just glad to have the word done. Hope you like it!
