Kromproom that follows the Sun
A preview of Kromproom's latest single, "Following the Sun," will officially kick off with the pre-order on July 20, 2022. Just a week later, on July 27, 2022, the single will be available digitally on all major music platforms worldwide, ensuring fans around the globe can experience Kromproom's latest work firsthand.
A Glimpse of the Visuals
The single's visual concept is inspired by the natural beauty of the sun and its interaction with the horizon. The imagery reflects themes of hope and renewal, perfectly aligning with the single’s message. A high-resolution photograph featuring a stunning view of the horizon, cloud formations, and the sun shining through is central to the project. This captivating image, captured with a Canon EOS 650D camera, symbolizes the powerful emotions embedded in the music. With a meticulous setup of 130.0mm focal length, f/18 aperture, 1/2000s shutter speed, and ISO 100, the photo captures the essence of light breaking through the darkness.
Who Is Kromproom?
For those unfamiliar, Kromproom is the artistic pseudonym of Piotr Krompiewski, a Polish music producer and electronic artist. His journey began in the early 1990s, experimenting with sound on Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga computers. Between 1996 and 1998, Kromproom was part of the Virtual Madness group, which contributed to the pioneering demoscene — a community focused on creating audiovisual art using computers.
Over the years, Kromproom has evolved into a multifaceted artist. His most recent album, "Tenacity," was released in 2015. Since then, he has collaborated with notable acts such as Agressiva 69 and Blitzkrieg, and formed the duo Kings in White with Agressiva 69’s vocalist. Together, they produced a range of remixes for artists like Blueforge, Blind Passenger, and Outsized, blending industrial rock with electronic finesse.
A Return to Roots
After a period of creating darker, introspective music—including the soundtrack album "Darkness," produced with German artist Jens Esch Centurio for the sci-fi novel Revolution, Baby!—Kromproom decided it was time to refocus on his original project. This decision was born out of personal reflection and a desire to channel positivity into his music. As he himself notes, music has been a form of therapy, and his new creations aim to uplift listeners, offering them strength and courage.
"Following the Sun"
The latest single, "Following the Sun," is a testament to Kromproom's renewed artistic vision. The single is dedicated to individuals striving for positive change in their lives but held back by fear. It features two versions of the title track along with a nine-minute bonus piece, "In Real Time."
What to Expect:
Rhythmic and Organic Electronica: A fusion of ambient and dynamic beats designed to inspire and energize.
Positive Emotions: A departure from the darker tones of previous works, this single radiates hope and light.
Bonus Track “In Real Time”: A danceable, intelligent composition that takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey.
For Kromproom, music is akin to prayer—a medium to strengthen the spirit and dispel negativity. With "Following the Sun," he invites listeners to embrace the light and overcome the shadows of doubt and despair.
The Symbolism of the Sun
The imagery of the sun plays a significant role in the single’s concept. The sun, incorporated into Kromproom's name—with the letter "o" designed as a shining sun—reflects the transformative power of light. Just as the sun rises every day, Kromproom's music aims to inspire renewal and perseverance in his audience.
Key Dates to Remember:
July 20, 2022: Pre-order begins.
July 27, 2022: Worldwide release on all major platforms.
