3 min read
I always say, sometimes i wonder how people are able to create a soul-stirring masterpiece with just elements of sounds in a beautiful way that resonates with listeners. Well I have got this man here from the world of neoclassical composition, Sergiy Rybytskyy, who is an expert, blending influences from J.S. Bach to Marty Friedman into a rich melody of sound. What’s beautiful is that, him as a composer who comes from both Australia and Ukraine, his music is such a beauty that breaks boundaries and invite listeners into a dynamic and unpredictable musical experience. His latest single, Battle is a masterpiece that follows suit and trust me you gonna love it.
Now let’s look at Sergiy’s musical journey. His musical journey began at a younger age with this haunting piano melodies which pulled him closer to music. Following the call of his musical heart, similar to Poe’s “Tell-Tale Heart,” Rybytskyy mastered his craft over the years with the way he balanced an engineering career with his musical passion. Rybytskyy’s has a wide range of influences from classical giants like J.S. Bach to contemporary virtuosos such as Yngwie Malmsteen and Luca Turilli. When you pay attention to his music, you’d realize how those influence are notable, yet very original and refined to it’s best. Maybe you haven’t heard but Rybytskyy’s debut album, “New Vista,” but garnered massive waves and explored classical, prog-rock, romantic, ambient, and neo-classical genres. This album tho, my goodness, has this unique blend of ambient sounds and driving drums which was loved by all with the musical experience it created. I want you to go give this album too a good listen and see how much of a talent he is.
Now his latest single Battle is a musical masterpiece that was crafted from the depth of emotions of battles. To me it’s a beautiful track that has this sounds creating this battle like anthem. If you have played this contra game from old days, haha you’d realize a similar battle song. What’s beautiful about this masterpiece is how those electronic guitars takes centre stage, blends in well with pianos, creating a haunting like atmosphere that resonates with the soul. Man this is creativity at it’s peak. This song brings themes of a putting in extra shift at the gym, especially when you been hit hard by a heartbreak and needs to battle it out at the gym, but has got this nostalgic vibes that shows how Rybytskyy was able to blend modern elements with old school. The track tho, comes in like an army ready to battle.
For me I can take it from this angle as, we all battling with something in life, and I like how this song pings your emotions to such struggles and offers a peaceful tone in the end. It’s a beautiful track that deserves a good listen, so you can experience this creativity and nostalgic feel that the song brings. Lovely lovely stuffs, you don’t get these anymore and I love it. The up tempo of the drums, blending with those guitar riffs brings this sunset vibes too all in Battle. His recent album “Unity” is one hell of masterpiece that you shouldn’t miss too, an epitome of beautiful music put together. This album covers themes of war and peace which takes the centre stage.
Sergiy Rybytskyy’s single Battle is more than notes on a staff; they are a call to embrace the moment, resonate with emotions, and appreciate the dynamic and progressive dimensions of music. It’s a masterpiece that gives an orgasmic feel, keeps the listener glued, hooked and offer a memorable experience that will live with them forever. ENJOY!!
