“A Taste Of Void”: The Record I Didn't Plan

Hey friends,

most of this EP was written in the quietest months of my life — the ones around the birth of my son. And the strange thing is, I didn't really plan any of it. There was no concept, no tracklist, no theme pinned to the studio wall. There was just me, my gear, and a lot of late, careful hours.

Today, "A Taste Of Void" is finally out in the world, released via Petite Victory Collective.

Written with my son asleep beside me

The title track, "Void", actually came together near the very end of the process — it was one of the last things I recorded for the EP. It happened one afternoon while my son slept in his bouncer right next to me in the studio. I wanted to play something quiet enough not to wake him, something that would keep him calm. So I leaned into pads, slow movement, open space — and it worked. He stayed asleep, and I'd quietly written what became the emotional center of the record.

That softness runs through the whole EP. This time I worked without any drums at all — no rhythm to lean on, just the Push 3, the Moog Mother-32 and the Hologram Microcosm breathing together.

Letting go of the plan

Here's the part that felt new to me: I let go of genre conventions completely and just explored. I followed the gear and the emotion instead of a plan, recording each piece live in one take and seeing where it went.

"Dune: Part Three" is a good example. It was never meant as a sequel to "Dune" — but once I started shaping those textures, the mood made the connection for me. Almost every title, and the whole concept of the EP, only revealed itself afterwards, once the exploring was done. I've genuinely never built a record this way before, and it taught me to trust the process more than the plan.

Where to hear it

If "A Taste Of Void" sounds like something you need on a slow evening, it's out now on all streaming platforms. And if you want to support the work directly and own a copy, you can buy it on Bandcamp here: https://kvndra.bandcamp.com/album/a-taste-of-void

I'd love to know which track stays with you — drop me a line once you've sat with it.

Stay creative,

Milan

P.S.: This EP also quietly became the spiritual predecessor of my Melodic Minute series — the idea for those videos came to me right in the middle of these jams.
