Lunatic soul delves into themes of life, death, and the spiritual journey between the two, often employing a blend of progressive rock, ambient, and electronic music to craft its unique soundscapes.

Each Lunatic Soul album is a conceptual journey, with Duda weaving narratives that explore the depths of the human soul and psyche. The project’s discography is marked by a rich and atmospheric sound, characterized by minimalistic arrangements, haunting melodies, and a strong emphasis on mood and texture. Unlike the heavier, more band-oriented sound of Riverside, Lunatic Soul focuses on creating immersive sonic landscapes, often utilizing acoustic instruments, subtle electronics, and Duda’s evocative vocals to convey emotion and storytelling.

Lunatic Soul’s music is deeply personal, reflecting Duda’s own experiences, fears, and introspections. The project allows him to push the boundaries of his creativity, experimenting with different genres and production techniques. Over the years, Lunatic Soul has garnered critical acclaim for its ability to transport listeners to otherworldly realms, offering a meditative and often cathartic listening experience.

Albums like Walking on a Flashlight Beam and Under the Fragmented Sky are considered some of the most poignant and innovative works in the progressive music scene, demonstrating Duda’s versatility as a musician and composer. Lunatic Soul stands as a testament to the power of music as a form of personal and spiritual exploration, inviting listeners to embark on a profound journey with each release.
