Toronto-based progressive rock composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Eddie Krakov has unveiled his new solo project EDventurED, announcing debut concept album Symmetry In Chaos for October 30, along with first single “Shadows We Remember.”
Known for his work with Stormy Atmosphere and Timequarium, Krakov steps into a new chapter here, taking full creative control and, for the first time, standing at the front as lead vocalist.
The project emerged unexpectedly while he was finishing mixing and mastering his other bands’ albums.
“Both projects were reaching the final stages, but completing an album with a full band is a long process, and I found myself already full of new ideas,” he says.
What started as rough sketches recorded alone, melodies captured while driving, lyrical fragments saved on his phone and experimental keyboard arrangements, soon revealed a deeper thread: what if the chaos we see is actually part of a pattern we haven’t learned to recognize?
Nine Theories
That question became the foundation of an album built around nine scientific, psychological and philosophical theories.
“Symmetry in Chaos began with a simple question: what if the things we call random are actually part of patterns we haven’t learned to see?” Krakov explains. “The album grew into a journey through nine different theories, but the deeper I went into them, the more I realized that they were not separate ideas. Chaos theory, psychology, genetics, social behavior, free will, and cooperation all describe different aspects of the same thing, the complicated system we call life.”
“Musically, I wanted to create something progressive without losing the emotional connection to the songs. There are complex ideas and structures, but melody and emotion always come first. I hope Symmetry in Chaos is an album people can listen to for the music, but also return to for the ideas. Maybe after listening, they will look at their own choices, relationships, and experiences a little differently.”
The debut single draws on Carl Jung’s idea that humanity may share deeper psychological patterns, symbols and archetypes beneath individual consciousness.
“It looks at the shadows, memories, and images that seem to follow humanity across generations, asking whether some parts of who we are existed within us before we were even aware of them.”
Guests
Though deeply personal, the album features several contributors, including a duet with Teddy Shvets, vocalist of Stormy Atmosphere, and a vocal appearance by Krakov’s eight-year-old son Jack, adding a generational echo to the album’s themes.
“There is already more music and more ideas in development, so I don’t see Symmetry in Chaos as the end of the EDventurED story. It is the beginning.”
For fans of Riverside, OSI, Soen, Spock’s Beard and Dream Theater. Symmetry in Chaos arrives on all digital platforms October 30, 2026.
