Cristian Chiaburu - Meditations (2023)

"Meditations" is a deep and personal journey in search of the self, that absolute, uncomplicated self. It is an invitation to embrace our own human nature which can represent nothing but freedom and beauty. And how else to tell about freedom if not through jazz and improvisation?

Each work on this album is a meditation that offers the listener a musical experience that helps him introspectively explore his own thoughts and emotions and encourages him to ask himself some questions that will help him persevere in coming to terms with his inner self and to understand what is important in his life. These questions may already have answers hidden in the subconscious, they may have delayed answers, or they may not have answers at all - in either case, the process is more important than the result, the process of asking yourself questions and reflecting on them is important , and maybe it's even better to have no answers.

At the heart of the album is a set of themes that invite us to return to our essence as humans: sincerity, unity, art, freedom, and all that makes us unique as humans, as a species, as individuals. "Meditations" is a tribute to life itself. Therefore, I wish you a lot of courage and vulnerability, so that this album will properly accompany you in self-knowledge.
