Thorn1

Two Shores of the Same Sea

In early January, Павел Федосов Paul fedosov (SAVL) and I got together at my place to jam and play a song we’ve both loved for years — “Awash a Sea Goodbye It’s Me” by Aarktica. From those sessions, and with the blessing of the author Jon DeRosa, a full release emerged, set to come out on March 20.

We decided not to compromise and created two versions — each of us developing our own ideas based on the same source material. At the core are the same vocal parts and guitar sessions recorded during those January days. But on that shared foundation, we built two distinct musical statements.

Thorn1, SAVL – Awash a Sea Goodbye It’s Me
My interpretation. I was responsible for the arrangement, the orchestral textures, and the “live” drums I love programming. This mix defines the original character of our reading.

SAVL, Thorn1 – Awash a Sea Goodbye It’s Me – Alternative Mix
Pavel’s deconstruction. Keeping our vocals and guitars intact, he rebuilt the rhythmic framework and added his own synthesizers, shifting the emphasis toward his distinctive authorial style.
You’ll be able to hear this story from two perspectives on March 20.

Pre-save is now open. By saving the track before its release, you’re helping show the algorithms that this release matters.

I shot this video for "Белоснежка" (‘Snow White’) at home on my phone, inspired by the aesthetics of David Lynch, Depeche Mode’s music videos, and guided by my own vision of associative imagery. It’s a mood piece meant to complement the emotions of the song. It’s already available on all platforms.
