Rareș Savu

numerous stages in Romania not only with bands such as “Stragazers ” and
“Prefix TM”, but also by himself at different events organized for and by high school students, at the age
of 18 Rares decided to expand his solo career, thus channeling all his talent and energy into a fairy tale
album entitled “Musical Chronicles in a Madhouse”. This album represents the story of a sentimental journey in the artist’s life , a story told with attention
and passion through music, by means of 12-song track list. The project came to life in March, being
initially based on Lo fi music, but in time it embraced other genres of music such as post-rock or
alternative rock. Being influenced by post-rock bands such as Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky and Tides of Nebula, the
album veers between musical elements like complex rock riffs, melancholy blues chords and
electronic chords, combined with a balanced dose of sadness, yet following a very
nonconformist direction.
“But what not too many people know is that the album has been influenced by different synthwave
artists, the most notable being Timecop1983 or bands like Rammstein and Tool”, as Rares Savu himself
says. Rares offers us his own perspective on the album:”The album is more an experiment, being at the same
time the redemption that I needed. I had had in mind for some time to work on an album on my own,
from all points of view. The title of each song helps the listener to understand the story that can be
interpreted and understood in any way. I have heard different interpretations of the album and I have to
say that I liked all of them, some about an alcoholic, others about a sheriff... It is really impressive to see
how people can perceive and feel music.
