The latest release, “Cosmic Calendar,” by Ukrainian pianist and composer Marina Baranova, highlights her versatile musical prowess. Raised in a household where classical music was taught by her mother and jazz & composition by her father, Baranova was exposed to contrasting musical worlds from an early age, cultivating her skills in improvisation. A highly gifted pianist, she honed her craft in her hometown of Kharkiv (Ukraine) and later at the University of Hanover (Germany), playing with a natural ease. Baranova possesses a synesthetic talent, allowing her to perceive sounds as colors, adding a unique dimension to her music.”Cosmic Calendar” serves as both a philosophical contemplation on the universe’s creation and a profound exploration of Marina Baranova’s inner thoughts. Comprising a piece for each month of the year, the album traces the cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the emergence of life. “Each month stands for a significant milestone and at the same time shows parallels to personal development,” writes the composer in the album’s booklet, explaining further: “It describes different phases, such as the liberation of limitless possibilities through the Big Bang (Particles of Freedom), the cooling down process (Becoming Transparent) leading to clear perspectives, self-knowledge (The Inner Gravity), a sense of “flow” amidst countless possibilities (Gliding on the Milky Way), the abandonment of beliefs and the feeling of sadness (Requiem for a Supernova), to the birth of hope (Birth of the Sun), the romantic dance of the earth and the moon (Celestial Serenade), the formation of the vital ozone layer (Air) and finally the emergence of humanity (You and me and everything around us).”
