Pentas are 5 gong-style round drum-things which are used to play simple melodies. Each one of those is one note in a scale called the Pentatonic scale. If you take the modern western scale with it's 7 notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si). The pentatonic scale is the best sounding 5 of those (Do, Re, Mi, Sol, La). The easiest way of achieving the pentatonic scale on a piano would be to play only the black keys. Also the pentatonic scale is quite popular with beginner guitarists. It's rather simple on a fret-board and gives a nice sounding solo when improvising. The Pentas - being my second album, was still recorded during my time learning the guitar. So I used a lot of the pentatotic scale in it. Thought quite frankly, knowing about the other two notes (Fa and Si) I added them quite often still.

It was recorded during 2016 ( roughly speaking ). The English is still bad. And the songs are trying way to hard to be artsy and provocative. I was trying to gain attention. But in the same time I was forming a sort of political opinion that I could not yet properly formalize. Which in the end grown into the themes of "I'm Not Even Human" and later "Moria's Race". Some songs are missing. This is what I could recover.

The last song "Child In Orgasm" almost had a music video made. But nobody was stupid enough to be my DP. So I released the animated storyboard instead.

Sometimes software is just simply Insecure. Which is a lot worse in proprietary software where users can't check the software for Insecurities.

This was supposed to be a hidden album which is linked to from various songs in Quarantine. If somebody clicked on the link, they will be presented with these 4 sound files which are less music and more an experiments in atmosphere.
