BACKGROUND STORY
"It's lazy to always compare artists to artists, but if you like Nicolas Jaar or Nils Frahm then you are gonna fuck with this guy's delicate orchestrations.
Ondrej Holy, known as dné, quit making music in 2013. He felt like all of his ideas had become trite and boring, his audial vision had deteriorated, and he began to despise the process.
Then, one day during his mini-retirement, he tried changing his perspective. Instead of constantly battling against his limitations, he decided to enforce some limitations of his own on his art. He tried making music using only a piano, with just a human clap for percussion. Slowly, all those other textures of his work naturally found their way back in, as he reintroduced vocals, guitar, strings, sampling techniques and organic beats.
Five years later, he had an album, packed with delicate orchestrations, inspired by painfully modern themes of loneliness, superficial connections, and the increasing elusiveness of true romance and relationships. In essence, he's created a collection of songs that soothe the constant noise, anxiety and unstoppable speed of life in the internet age, and if you're into Nils Frahm or even Nicolas Jaar's quieter moments, then you're gonna like this a lot." – Noisey (http://bit.ly/2fg5AhJ)

Although dné aka Ondrej is not classically trained and has almost no knowledge of music theory, his music speaks with an innate musicality. His style draws on beautiful orchestrations, sample-heavy techniques (including field recordings), organic beats and DIY-type recording and arrangement, giving his music a unique sound with an overarching cinematic feel.
Whilst aiming to create something timeless, the album, entitled ‘These Semi Feelings, They Are Everywhere’, became a 5 year long process of devotion, commitment and realisation. The record communicates an underlying commentary on today’s world of Internet driven hyper-realities, superficial connections and the increasing elusiveness of romance and relationships. Reflected in the song titles are themes of late-night chats, online dating, and fleeting moments of intimacy instead of finding deep and meaningful relationships.
In Ondrej’s own words: “You just live a long series of these semi feelings that are OK for the moment but don’t leave a significant memory in the long run.”
As a result, these aren’t love songs but they are Ondrej’s reflections on trying to navigate through these experiences, which may feel melancholic but always seem to gain a light optimism in the end.

@Auxenfreemusic
Is there any way to get photos that I've personally taken to maybe be put as a background for a song on one of your videos?
@PandaChef21
Maybe I understood this wrong but he quit in 2013 and released an album 5 years later in 2018?
@skolatti
That's what I thought too!
@RobinRobinJ
I never usually comment on youtube video's, but this piece is so beautiful. It's one of those songs that make you stop what you're doing, and just listen. It made me forget all the stress in my life right now, and got me the calmest I've been in a long time. Keep up the amazing work.
@majesticcasual
this means a lot to me! ❤
