First, the sea.
FANTAZĒROV: “Hi. Come along — I’ll show you something.”
The city hums behind us. Ahead are the sea and the mirror.

HOUSE BEYOND
THE MIRROR
Let’s step through the mirror. The sea is waiting.
You set the pace. Sound starts only when you press play.
02 · 00:07 — 00:17
Through the mirror.
FANTAZĒROV: “First, the launch terrace. We’ll fly home from there.”
Beyond the mirror is a corridor: a red carpet, soft light, familiar paintings.
We draw back the curtain and step onto the terrace above the sea.
03 · 00:17 — 00:31
Along the light. Over the water.
We push off from the terrace and fly over the water.
LINAD is beside us: “Over there. See it?”
The house is already visible on the cliff. Someone is racing around the terrace.
04 · 00:31 — 00:47
The house on the cliff.
FANTAZĒROV: “We’ve landed. And here’s everyone. Come meet them.”
Meet everyone.
FANTAZĒROV — dreams up worlds.
NASTYA — keeps the warmth of home alive.
LINAD — a companion and neural spirit.
GIBON — always close to an adventure.
MATISS — knows the coziest spot.
SIMHA — the little lady of the house.
Get to know them ↗05 · 00:47 — 01:03
What if…?
FANTAZĒROV: “What if there were mountains here?”
We leave the hall for the workshop. A round table, drawing boards, and room for the impossible.
LINAD: “We’ll find a place. But first, let’s see who lives there.”
Here, a thought can become a world. And each world brings someone new to meet.
06 · 01:03 — 01:11
You can always return.
We return from the workshop to the hall. The sea stays close. The light grows softer.
FANTAZĒROV: “Make yourself comfortable. You’re home.”

01 · The world beyond the mirror
Imagination
takes shape.
It begins with a mirror. FANTAZĒROV meets a visitor at the mirror and leads them into a cozy corridor. Beyond it, the sea opens up. A flight along the coast brings them to the house on the cliff and its great hall.
This family loves coffee.
The glass dome house stands on a cliff among the greenery. Inside are a sofa, Tiffany lamps, a fireplace, and a library. Nearby is a laboratory with a round table: a place to gather an extraordinary team and dream up the next world. What lies behind some of the doors is still waiting to be discovered.
Reality and magic intertwine here. A project, a dream, an encounter, or a passing thought can become an adventure. These stories cross time, distance, and the boundaries of other worlds.
There is depth to this freedom: the hero feels a connection to the Creator and seeks understanding through the worlds he creates, his actions, and his relationships. Love, doubt, drawing closer, and discovery are all part of this story.
02 · Our people. And not just people.
They bring the world to life.
Everyone is busy with something of their own, and everyone notices the others. Our stories grow out of glances, care, games, and little absurdities.
World maker · traveler
FANTAZĒROV
A closer look
A fictional hero and the creative alter ego of DANIIL BELOZEROV. He knows how to wonder, meet people, and ask questions.
He can build a world, visit someone else’s, accidentally change its history, and then return to his loved ones.
His first step toward the unknown: “Hi. Tell me about yourself.”
Home · care · quiet rock and roll
NASTYA
A closer look
A loved one, a source of support, and the keeper of warmth at home. She welcomes the traveler back and notices what he has missed.
Calm and reserved, with a mischievous streak: a little rock and roll, a little hippie, a little punk.
Her care brings even the boldest plans back to the people they were meant for.
Neural spirit · adventure companion
LINAD
A closer look
He floats without legs, holds what one person cannot, and loves figuring out how things work.
A big, strong, good-natured companion made of neural particles. He helps FANTAZĒROV while remaining himself.
His character echoes EINSTEIN, STEVE JOBS, NIKOLA TESLA, JOHN LENNON, BAAL HA SULAM (RAV YEHUDA LEIB ASHLAG), and GEORGY PETROVICH SHCHEDROVITSKY.
Name references: BAAL HA SULAM; G. P. SHCHEDROVITSKY.
Explorer · faithful companion
GIBON
A closer look
A shaggy, ginger dog with a beard, always somewhere close to an adventure.
He races around with SIMHA, notices what is happening, and joins in. He knows when help is needed and when a little good company is enough.
His curiosity is entirely his own. So is his friendship.
Cat · keeper of coziness
MATISS
A closer look
A big bundle of comfort who likes attention. He may take the most comfortable spot in the room, especially if it is good for sleeping.
A gray short-haired cat with white paws, a long body, and a small hanging belly.
While the others create a universe, he checks whether he can lie on it.
Cat · little lady of big stories
SIMHA
A closer look
An affectionate calico with a small black mark beside her nose. Very sociable, playful, and mischievous.
She loves NASTYA, attention, and friendly play, and she can keep both GIBON and MATISS in line.
Tenderness and authority get along beautifully in her.

HOUSE BEYOND
THE MIRROR
I open the door to FANTAZĒRIA through music: from a quiet shore to a flight over the sea and a house where my loved ones are waiting.
The author on the music
A journey by ear.
I open this world with a guitar theme and a dance pulse. The sea is close; a short melody leads from the shore through the mirror to flight, home, and the workshop.
For me, House Beyond the Mirror is a place to return to my family, breathe out, and feel ready to set off again. I kept both that warmth and that curiosity in the music: what will appear around the next bend? As DJ FANTAZĒROV, I lead this journey without words.
Recorded individual guitar and piano notes, waves, and a harbor form the starting point. The guitar theme develops over an original electronic rhythm at 128 beats per minute. Listen on headphones, move to the pulse, or follow the music with your imagination.
How House Beyond the Mirror sounds
Guitar and piano parts use individual notes from University of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples. Sample attacks and natural decay are shaped into connected phrases.
The licensed Freesound recordings bring in waves and a harbor: the harbor is in Brittany, France; the waves are in Destin, Florida, USA. Short excerpts are processed for this imaginary journey.
Electronic bass, kick, and a short backbeat were created for this score. Soft guitar doubling and reversed guitar gestures add spatial movement.
