The element of water is the constant presence throughout Lyra-La, the third chapter of Naria’s four-part cycle. At some point, I had written down the intense, recurring dreams from my earliest childhood and kept wondering why they had accompanied me well into adulthood. They all revolve around real events that, to this day, I am unable to fully comprehend.
Lyra-La sketches these dreams rooted in real events and memories, continuing in my dreams in strange and inexplicable ways. Over time, they became so vivid that as a child, I sometimes didn’t know upon waking whether I was already awake or still dreaming.
A man is drifting in the open, stormy ocean at night. He struggles against the primal force of the sea, fighting to keep from drowning. But the fight is in vain. He sinks into the depths, and everything moves in slow motion – memories, emotions, fragments of his life pass before his eyes. Then a sudden sting – an adrenaline injection. A paramedic?
Everything began with that notebook.
Founded in 2002 by composer Marc Eisele, Naria is an artistic vision that has evolved into a four-part cycle exploring memory, dreams and reality from different perspectives through music, film and visual design. A decade after writing down a collection of surreal childhood dreams in handwritten notes, these fragments became the foundation for this interconnected world. Together with the band, Marc develops it into a continuous narrative where sound and imagery merge into a unique live experience.
Rather than following genre conventions, Naria approaches each composition as a world of its own. Progressive Rock is therefore less a style than a way of thinking. It is a space where cinematic soundscapes, Alternative Rock, Post Rock and classical influences naturally converge.
The music unfolds through transitions rather than formulas: between intensity and silence, beauty and tension, structure and freedom. Every musical idea finds the form it needs to express itself. Naria believes that the most rewarding discoveries are often found off the beaten path. The result is an immersive listening experience that rewards curiosity, invites repeated listening and reveals new connections with every return.
