about

“Vroju” is an unconventional album intended to trigger a shift from ordinary perception.

While it is possible to enjoy it purely for its aesthetical and emotional appeal, its main aim is to enable the listener to enter altered states of consciousness.

For avid breathwork practitioners (Pranayama, Holotropic breathing, WHM, etc.) and seasoned psychonauts, it can be a tool to enhance the experience and help navigate the journey.

It is also inspired by the intricate insect songs, featured as elements of the musical arrangement – as one of the “instruments” or voices.

The music on this album was conceived in the flow and trance states. The particular structures, interlocking rhythms, melodies, etc., were “downloaded” from the so-called “Hyperspace” and painstakingly re-created in the ordinary state of consciousness.

In the current times of turmoil, uncertainty, and profound weirdness, it can be a tool for looking beyond the surface and deeper within – not as a substitute for action, but rather as a reminder that there is much more to this world than meets the eye.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Nimetu (aka Andrej Hrvatin) is a musician and sound artist from Maribor, Slovenia.

His main instruments include various ethnic flutes (Native American style, ney, kaval), clarinet, and percussion, notably frame drums. He studied clarinet in music school, learned kaval from the Macedonian virtuoso Bajsa Arifovska, and studied percussion with Nino Mureškić and at various workshops with masters such as Glen Velez, Zohar Fresco, Pandit Suresh Talwalkar, etc.

He is also a sound engineer, specialising in psychoacoustic sound design and sound installations/performances. He has recorded, mixed, produced, and mastered many international and Slovenian jazz, world music, and alternative albums.

He currently focuses on deeper connections between music, philosophy, transcendental states of mind (“shamanic” explorations of art, sound, and body), offers musical journey sessions, and collaborates with dance and visual artists on several productions.

Recently, he has collaborated with the renowned percussionist and transpersonal therapist Byron Metcalf (Sacrament, The Precipice of Choice) and released the solo album “Hero’s Journey” for the Hemi-Sync label with hemi-sync frequencies – the mind-altering sound technology by the legendary Bob Monroe.
