About

Umbra Volatilis — "the flying shadow": the point where light meets darkness and music is born. Two worlds, each on its own path — melody goes its way, word goes its own, and the song emerges where they meet.

Umbra Volatilis is not the name of one person — it is an idea. The author and creative mind behind the project — Maxim Rogoza — builds the concept, themes and drama of the albums, while who exactly stands behind the voices, arrangements and details — let that remain part of the mystery.

At the heart of the project is a dream collection, «Dance with Shadow», by Maxim Rogoza: each dream, recorded and shaped into a literary text, became a separate story, and that story became a song. The melody is born as an instrumental piano piece, then grows into an orchestra, and only then do words and voice find their place.

Genre: cinematic orchestral pop. Instruments vary from track to track: piano, cello, flute, strings, electric guitar, brass.

Debut album «As I Am» was released on July 24, 2026.

Dance with Shadow — Maxim Rogoza

Literary dream collection

Dance with Shadow

Maxim Rogoza

Every song on the album grew from a real dream, recorded and shaped into a story. The dreams were collected over several years. Music is the way to complete them.

The Lighthouse

Two people climb an abandoned lighthouse in a storm. They need to light the flame. The staircase is broken. But they're not alone.

→ Your Light

Impostors in the Palace

You're in a palace. You're about to be exposed. A cat sleeps on the throne — calmly, without shame. No one came for you.

→ Nothing to Hide

Strange Feeling

A quiet courtyard. A stranger's gaze. A child has vanished. The road home is blocked. Who built this labyrinth?

→ Who Built the Shadow

Garden of Fragile Balance

A crystal garden — perfect, every flower polished. But in the corner grows a wild, living rose. The gardener tries to fix it.

→ Glass Garden

The Shop of Irreversible Deals

A quiet shop. A faceless vendor. Anything you want is available. The price is nowhere to be found.

→ Not Everything Is Yours

Monster of the Deep

From the absolute darkness of the ocean, something vast reaches toward you. It carries a small lantern. It looks you in the eye.

→ Breathe!

Gulliver

A giant among small people. Ashamed of being big. Ashamed of taking up space. Until you realize: they reach for your hand themselves.

→ The Emptiest of Places

The Paid Exam

A classroom. No pen. No money. You're late. In your pocket, something frozen — a cherry. How did you end up here?

→ Cherry Hands

The Elevator

A luxury hotel. The elevator goes not up, but down. On every floor — something from the past. The lowest floor is the oldest.

→ As I Am

Melody of Life

Darkness without floor or walls. A flute in your hands. The first note — and something begins to grow in the void.

→ The World I Made
