VIAMAER is a project behind which stands Krystian Jurkiewicz and did not emerge from the need to create music, but from the need to express something that cannot be spoken in words. It is a way of capturing states a person goes through; a method of giving shape to the intangible yet deeply real. Sound became a natural tool — a place where emotions do not need to be explained, because they can be heard in melody, timbre, contrast, and the silence between notes.
Earlier this year, VIAMAER released debut album “In Lumine Lunae” that was well received by listeners and music critics. The project VIAMAER returns to its essence in the most raw and intimate form. Acoustic Sessions is neither an add-on nor an alternative version; it is a conscious return to the starting point. To the emotions before production. To the compositions in their bare state.
The tracks known from the original album have been reinterpreted in acoustic-instrumental form. No distortion, no layered production, no weighty sound. With space. With breath. With silence, which becomes an equally important element of the narrative.
“In lumine lunae (Acoustic Sessions)” reveals the structure and emotional core of the compositions. It is the same story, but told closer, more directly, without filters and without excess. This version is a mirror of the original album, more focused, more direct, sometimes even intimate. The same story told in a different language.
Music for new EP album was composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Krystian Jurkiewicz. Cover artwork was done by Piotr Pryk. but edited & adapted by Krystian Jurkiewicz. EP will be released on April 2, 2026 in digital format.
Krystian describes it this way: “These compositions were born in silence and return to silence. Without weight. Without excess. In the acoustic versions, there is nowhere to hide, only what is real remains. Sound does not lie.“
“Sonus est locus ubi affectus vere audiuntur.”
Sound is the place where emotions are truly heard.
