Info zu Future Memories

A moving and emotional collection of original compositions that showcases Osokins’ talent for conveying a wide range of deep emotions. It is a testament to the power of music to heal and inspire.

After the acclaimed first release of his own works, “Stardiving”, Prima Classic presents a Must-Listen for Classical Music Lovers: Future Memories.

“Traveling is fundamentally a journey of the soul, a spiritual trip. We are only traveling through this world for a little period of time, as we wander through life. With this music, I attempted to capture some of the emotions and experiences that shape our souls in this unique journey. My hope is that it will bring hope and light to those who listen to it, that it will inspire creativity and encourage self-love and love for others. Even a small drop of compassion can make a big impact in the ocean of humanity. Through these recordings, I try to bring some consolation, comfort and solace in the face of loss and the challenges of our times.”
