Romanian language official statement:
Ca urmare a recentelor plecari din Negura Bunget, cei care au renuntat la formatie si-au anuntat oficial planurile de a continua sub un nou nume. Cei patru au emis urmatorul comunicat:
Acest text este trimis si redactat in numele celor patru muzicieni care si-au anuntat recent plecarea din formatia Negura Bunget: Chakravartin, Inia Dinia, Urzit si Fulmineos.
‘Dorim ca pe aceasta cale sa anuntam oficial planurile de a continua activitatea muzicala…impreuna.’
‘In spiritul unor relatii excelente dezvoltate in ultimii doi ani, am decis sa punem bazele unui nou proiect pe care l-am denumit: Ysadora.
Ysadora este un cuvant cu numeroase semnificatii si radacini in mai multe culturi. In acest caz, este cunoscut in limba greaca ca o reprezentare a renasterii si a puterii magice. Ysadora reprezinta pentru noi o renastere, un proces de vindecare, un nume cu ajutorul caruia avem sansa de a continua pe un drum pe care noi il consideram potrivit. Acest personaj-simbol este cunoscut si in literatura romana, fiind mentionat in una din scrierile lui Mircea Eliade.
‘Drumul il dorim o poveste noua, conceptual, liric, muzical. Planuri au fost deja demarate, inregistrarea unui prim album in acest an, co-optarea unor muzicieni care ne vor ajuta in acest demers.’
‘Prioritatea, dorinta in acest moment este de a vedea lansat materialul la care am lucrat in ultimul an, material ce ar fi trebuit sa apara sub numele de Tau, prima parte a Trilogiei Transilvane. Compozitia – muzicala – a acestui disc apartine celor patru membri, a caror decizie comuna a fost de a nu lasa piesele catre o viitoare lansare sub numele Negura Bunget.’
‘Conceptual, discul va fi readaptat. Muzical, este o calatorie noua a carui piatra de temelie il constituie un album ce nu a avut sansa de a vedea lumina zilei. Stilistic, poate va fi surprinzator. In acest moment avem libertate totala, deciziile ne apartin pe deplin si intentionam sa profitam de aceasta sansa. Vom adapta si reconstrui. Intentia si mesajul sunt sincere. Este in primul rand o calatorie pe care dorim sa o urmam impreuna, un drum pe care il dorim in primul rand cat se poate de sincer, atat cu noi cat si cu cei care doresc sa ne urmareasca activitatea.’
‘Exista idei pentru o serie de aparitii live limitate in viitorul apropiat, tocmai pentru a prezenta in mod clar ce dorim, pentru a oferi o noua imagine, pentru a ne separa de trecut. Vesti legate de disc vor urma.’
‘Pe aceasta cale dorim sa multumim tuturor celor care au inteles si respectat decizia noastra de a parasi Negura Bunget. Nu putem spera decat ca acest disc si intentia de a continua muzical va fi o rasplata satisfacatoare.’
English language official statement:
This is an official statement on behalf of the four musicians who recently announced their departure from Negura Bunget: Chakravartin, Inia Dinia, Urzit and Fulmineos.
We hereby announce our plans to continue our musical development…together. Therefore, in development of excellent relationships, we have a new name and a new story: Ysadora.
Ysadora is a name with various representations and roots in many cultures. In this case, it’s known in Greek dialects as a representation of rebirth and magical powers. For us, Ysadora is a rebirth, a healing process, a name that will offer us a chance to continue on a path that we chosed independently.
‘This road is a new story, in terms of concepts, lyrics and music. We already have plans to record a album by the end of the year with the help of some fellow romanian musicians.’
‘Our wish is to release a record based on what we’ve worked on in the last year, songs that were meant for the Tau album, the first part of The Transilvanian Trilogy. The music belongs to the four members mentioned above and it was a collective decision that we won’t allow this album to be released under the name Negura Bunget.’
‘The whole concept will be reworked. It’s a new musical journey, we already have a headstone in the form of an album that never got the chance to see the light of day. In terms of musical genres, maybe it will be surprising. At the time we have full control and liberty, we intend to make the best out of this new chance. We will readapt, we will rebuild. Our message is simple and honest. It’s a journey we wish to take as a whole, a road that will be as honest as it can get..for us and for those who wish to follow our future developments.’
‘The are plans for special live appereances in the near future. It is our wish to present this new image, to separate from the past. News regarding the album will follow shortly.’
‘We hereby wish to thank each and every one who understood and respected our decision to leave Negura Bunget. We can only hope that this album and journey will become a worthy reward.’
