BLED represents the Fourth World Music genre – a primitive-futuristic sound that combines modern electronic music with indigenous and folk musical forms from around the world. The band specializes in creating long, immersive structures that allow listeners to pause for a moment and dive into their own thoughts.
Terra Incognita, or "unknown land," is a term originating from old maps, used to mark areas that were still unexplored and undiscovered. But for BLED, it’s not so much about unknown lands, but rather a space free from excess, where you discover what you truly need and what is just noise. It's like a sculptor who, instead of adding more elements, cuts away pieces of stone to reveal the form hidden within. "Terra Incognita" is a place where you stop looking for new inspiration outside and focus on clearing your inner self, removing what's unnecessary to achieve a state of pure and simple sound. It's about being subtle, where each sound and note fits perfectly. It’s a journey into yourself, aiming for simplicity and truth.
