The new cinematic album by Monelise

Floating Alchemist

An album. A world. A ritual you don’t just hear — you step inside.

the underwater altar
/// 001 — the concept

It was written in the spirit of Angelo Badalamenti, the composer behind Twin Peaks — music that feels like a dream you can’t quite explain, where beauty and unease exist at the same time.

That night, he passed. Not long after, David Lynch followed. Something about that moment stayed open.

/// 002

In 2025 I went to Los Angeles to listen more deeply. What I found wasn’t another song — it was a world. An underwater altar. A submerged theatre. A memory of St Petersburg, transformed into something mythic.

This is not just music. It’s a space you enter.

Floating Alchemist releases publicly in autumn. Before that, I’m opening it privately to a smaller circle.

Not just for early listening — but for participation. For those who want to experience music as something alive, not disposable.
