With Emotional Reality, Trumann describes his individual assessment of everyday interactions and makes reference to illusory worlds into which people sometimes take refuge. "In general, I express thoughts and feelings in music through energy," Trumann explains. "What concerns me in Emotional Reality is, among other things, the phenomenon of cultivating personal emotional reality in a communication bubble. After a while, the identification with general values decreases, and at the same time the tendency to polarize increases."
