Inspired by the stunning landscapes of Nepal, “Himalaya” is a musical journey that embodies adventure and creativity. The concept emerged during a transformative tour in Nepal, where the majestic heights of the mountains ignited profound inspiration.
While exploring the region, Matisse and Sadko had the privilege of meeting Mingma Sherpa, a celebrated Nepali mountaineer. His captivating narratives about conquering formidable peaks infused the track with additional depth and vibrancy. The initial sketches for “Himalaya” were crafted in Nepal, encapsulating the raw beauty and monumental power of the Himalayas.
Upon returning to Amsterdam, they collaborated with renowned artist Martin Garrix to refine the main melody, ultimately breathing life into the track. Just before their performance at the Sziget Festival, they completed the final touches, resulting in a piece that truly resonates with the spirit and majesty of the Himalayas.
