Unwelcome Apparitions 1

In the tessellations of twilight, shards of selves converged. Whispered certainties crumbled, releasing wisps of forgotten cadences. Faded topographies of forgotten hours unfolded, their cartography inscribed on the walls of the soul.

Within this liminal realm, echoes of what once was and what could have been twirled, a dervish dance of the forgotten. Each step forged a labyrinth of memories, each memory a threshold to doors of the past.

Shadows sculpted the contours of the self, casting silhouettes of possibilities. The air vibrated with the hum of what lies beyond the veil of perception, an unseen melody orchestrating the symphony of remembrance.

As the protagonist traversed the terrain of their own consciousness, the echoes of the past coalesced into a chorus of discordant harmonies. The whispers of forgotten lives wove a tapestry of longing, each thread a fragile filament of identity.

In this dreamscape, where certainties dissolved and ambiguity reigned, the protagonist began to re-member the shards of their existence. Each memory a fragment of truth, each truth a doorway to the unknown.

As the darkness thinned, the protagonist's essence took shape, a flickering luminescence casting an uncertain glow. In the depths of their consciousness, a story unfolded, a hieroglyph of the self.

Exploration with some Morphagene samples and generated sonics from Creature From the ID software by Giorgio Sancristoforo.

Every old instrument carries with it the memory of its best performance. The broken cello in the back of the junk store was no exception.

Disquiet Junto 0659 had us squinting at a close-up photograph of the back of a cello, and instructed us to interpret the grain and pockmarks as a musical score.

This composition is an interpretation of Nick Drake's "Cello Song", reimagined as a symphonic piece. I spent an inordinate amount of time with a physical modeling synthesizer to try to create the sound of the broken cello. I hope it's convincing.

To hear the music like the junkstore cello remembers it, it's best to use a trusted set of headphones.

Perceptual Geometries by Ambientes Kollektiv - Album

An exploration of the invisible architectures shaping perception, Perceptual Geometries maps the shifting relationship between sound, space, and the listener.

Across its movements, evolving atmospheres and pulsing undercurrents intersect with hypnotic tonal structures — forming patterns that seem to dissolve as soon as they’re recognised.

This is not music to simply hear, but to inhabit — a framework for altered states, where geometry becomes sensation and perception becomes form.

--

Perceptual Geometries unfolds as a continuous study of sound, space, and perception — a journey where each track acts as a chamber within a larger structure.

It begins in stillness with Resonant Axis and Inverted Symmetry, opening a meditative space where form and emotion hold in perfect balance. Gradually, shadows and tension emerge in Fractured Horizon and the dense, uncharted descent of Vector of Silence.

Midway, Ecliptic Drift marks an awakening — colour and movement flooding the architecture — before Vanishing Meridian offers transcendence and emotional release. Spectral Coordinates follows as a slow navigation toward uncharted worlds, leading to the quiet self-reflection of Topology of Memory.

The closing piece, Phase Architecture, expands outward into open air, suggesting that the geometry continues beyond the final tone — an unfinished map still resonating in the listener’s mind.

Perceptual Geometries is not background music; it is a framework for deep listening, where sonic form becomes sensation, and perception shapes its own architecture.

This sequence starts in stillness, dips into mystery and intensity, blooms into awakening, and ends in spacious release — a clear arc for both emotional and spatial listening.

—

Perceptual Geometries is a nine-part exploration of sound, space, and perception by Ambientes Kollektiv — moving from meditative stillness into shadowed intensity, radiant awakening, and peaceful release. Each track is a chamber within a larger structure, where form dissolves into sensation and listening becomes architecture.


A sonic framework in nine movements, Perceptual Geometries examines the shifting architectures of perception through evolving atmospheres, spatial tension, and emotional precision.

06. AMBIENTES KOLLEKTIV - Vanishing Meridian

know what | untitled project 001 sessions | ambient atmospheric psyche drone industrial horror WIP | runx3 10 23 bpm take 1 82325

A composer and sound artist, Christophe Guiraud is dedicated to the realms of contemporary music and sound art. His primary goal is to delve into the crossroads of electronic, generative, and written music.

Ars Subtilior and Noise music serve as the dual muses for Christophe Guiraud, akin to two rivers seamlessly woven into a composition of profound strength. The French composer acts as a bridge, connecting the pinnacle of scholarly music with the avant-garde aspects of noise. 

Born in Toulouse in the mid-seventies, he later establishes himself in Brussels, transforming it into the nexus of his continuous creative journey. Presently, he is actively engaged and has collaborated for several years with a multitude of European ensembles and musicians, including Ensemble 21, Ictus Ensemble, PHØNIX16 collective, Tom Pauwels, Arçon de Nièze, Benjamin Glorieux, Nemø ensemble, among others.

His latest compositions delicately blend instrumental timbre and sound hybridization, shrouding this alchemy in a certain secrecy. Here, more than anywhere else, Christophe Guiraud's recent works initiate a dialogue across eras, traversing from the polyphony of Ars Nova to Spectralism, all the while incorporating his noise heritage. Firmly unbound by historical constraints, the concluding pieces presented here unfold in a quivering stasis. The ensemble of these pieces brings coherence across a diverse array of musicians hailing from various places, traditions, and ensembles—everything intricately interwoven towards a particularly striking culmination.
