Third Sign. Two souls following a third presence. Music is an entity with its own needs. Inspiration is an irresistible, adventurous journey through space. Third Sign is an urge to press into unity from two opposing sources: one from pulsing, progressive, rock-driven rapids, the other from wide, soft meanders between classical, electro and jazzy pop groove. Distorted guitars and heavy beats meet a voice that draws strength from fragility. Both currents form a wild river on an unforeseeable journey that takes its liberty to roam far from the roads of algorithm-driven style-conventions. Unafraid to engulf elements from every musical realm it passes through, it takes every length and shape it needs to. Some rough-hewn creatures of the undertow might turn out to be nymphs coming to the rescue, if allowed to grow on you over a few more encounters. Darkness is heartily invited by an unconditionally loving day. Neither has the world ended, nor has the great revelation for humanity arrived. The Apocalypse Didn’t Happen. In every descent lies a chance to rise higher.

The duo shares an affinity for old myths and new absurdities, for poems, art, and otherworldly bliss as well as earthly raw realities and common everyday madness.
The calm and depth of the analogue, the hand-made and the self-thought are their home and always the root and the destination. But they love adventure. So they onboard a spaceship towards the unknown experimental, where the technical and the digital expand limits and draw them out to explore.
Music is love, reflection, message, and utopia, uniting the duo in their urge to create from intuition and something bigger than ego.
Life is a story - seeking to establish connection, to share, to express, to heal, to create beauty, to question, provoke and inspire, and to be free.
 

In their posts and newsletter, Third Sign symbolically reveal their world behind the scenes in the form of an alternative reality experience.
