ODYSSAY: big things start with small steps

Today we are welcoming another talented artist - ODYSSAY. Maksym is a singer, songwriter and music producer. He mixes music and vocal lines in a unique style. Radio Intense talked to ODYSSAY about his new project, joint release "Moonlight" together with Indifferent Guy on Area Verde and future goals.
— Hello Max! It is nice to talk to you today. How is everything going?
— Thank you, it's a pleasure to talk to you too. We released the first EP together with Indifferent Guy. Our tracks are well listened all around the world. We get a true and positive feedback. Everything is good!
— We are curious to get to know you. What is a story of "ODYSSAY" project?
— It is the prototype of the Odyssey traveler in today's world. I am talking about freedom. Every person is looking for freedom inside. This project is my freedom. Here I travel through different feelings, memories and dreams. Here I talk about relationship, meetings and break-ups. In every track you can find yourself, the main thing is to look for yourself.
— How was your summer? What are you thoughts about the industry considering the post-lockdown life?
— My summer was very hot. It was our start. Reborn EP was released in August. In June and July we were preparing the launching. It was my first release and I wanted to do everything well. After preparing the release, we continued to make the new material. We wanted the tracks to come out regularly.

The industry is going through a difficult time. We have chosen an interesting time to start the project. I think that now we need to get closer to the audience. After the quarantine, we will see each other again.
— On the 16th of October you have a release "Moonlight" coming up on Area Verde. Please, share the story about the track. What was your inspiration?
— Thank you for the question. The track is truly unique. It is a story about feelings and inner pain in a stylish progressive sound. When you don't want to continue relationship that brings suffering. This is a story about one person fading for another. The analogy with moonlight has been specially selected. Night is a time when we can be alone and our satellite is moonlight. Imagine that moonlight goes out, what then remains?
— The release as well as the first one is created together with Indifferent Guy. How did you guys know each other and why decided to collaborate?
— We have known each other a very long time. I think that each of us was not ready for such a project. I was involved in anothermusic, event organization. Indifferent Guy was involved in ghost production and his music. One night I recorded a Run away demo and sent it to him. I thought he would record a girl and release a track, but he suggested that I record it and work together. This is where the whole story starts. After Run away we recorded Reborn and now Moonlight will be released. On the way I took the name ODYSSAY, and now the work is going on. Big things start with small steps.

We are different people, but we look in the same direction.
— Which goals do you still have for the rest of 2020?
— We would like to start performing. Art directors are already interested in live performances. We are preparing the performance program and new tracks. I hope this year you will hear another of our tracks "Before You go". This is a very sensitive work and I am sure you will enjoy it.
