The joint album of the July in January and Dvory projects, entitled Warm Hands, presents the listener with a palette of harmonies and melodies saturated with sleepy aesthetics with an admixture of contemplative ambient created with the help of vocals, synthesizers, field recordings, and guitar. On top of all these rich textures are framed by languid improvisations on the trumpet with psychedelic effects.

The album is dedicated to the bodily sensations of the space surrounding a person, filled with a sense of warmth as the main source of life. The joint material of the projects was recorded at the sleepy festival PoluDrema on November 17, 2023, in the Sklad 3 club.

July in January is a warm drone ambient project by Georgy Orlov-Davydovsky from Moscow. Smooth melodic elements, textures and field recordings, rare rustles, and quiet rhythms. This music is for dreamers. Time freezes, leaving only calm and concentration for the consciousness.

Dvory is a collective of Antip Suratov and Vladimir Sapunov, originally based in the city of Tver for a long time. The project's music is a subtle combination of guitar, effects, and trumpet, which creates a mood of some melancholy like dark jazz.

Produced by Antip Suratov & Vladimir Sapunov (Dvory), Georgy Orlov-Davydovsky (July in January)

Silent Universe - Fractal Essence of the Universe

We welcome Dahlia's Tear back to Cryo Chamber. After 6 years of silence this veteran dark ambient producer is finally back with a new album. Through the Nightfall Grandeur is a dreamy and multi-layered melancholic journey through worlds both inner and outer. 

"The dreamer watches you from atop the onyx tower. You are in his domain now, a world within a world beyond the dreamsphere where reality is born anew. Snow flakes melt on your neck as you peer out over a jagged landscape, is this real? You've asked yourself this question more times than you can remember, awakening from each dream within a new dream. Reality has grown into an old weathered memory, left behind at the surface of that first deep dive into the subconscious." 

The album revolves around a spiritual awakening where the shattering loneliness of the protagonist fuels the search for meaning. We follow through moonbathed nights on a journey through dark abysses, snowy mountains and desolate moors. 

A detailed and layered album that takes many repeat listens to fully explore all the complexities, one mystery at a time unto enlightenment.

The fourth Sphäre Sechs album was recorded during improvised studio sessions. Using a selected set of analog instruments Christian Stritzel and Martin Stürtzer have put together a mystic, slowly evolving ambient sound. A warm cocoon in cold space longing for the enigmas of the solar system and beyond. 

Transient Lunar Phenomena are changes in appearance on the lunar surface of unknown origin. Light signals and color changes have been observed since the 6th century. The lunar events were officially cataloged in NASA technical report TR R-277 in 1968.

Transient Lunar Phenomenon

Lunar Volcano

The wind has changed. The Earth itself vibrates underneath. The wind speaks of the North — and so the journey begins.

They leave marks on the stones and carry the fire. Drums and flutes speak with the elements. Voices emerge and fade through the fog.

Through the nights full of rustling, of whispers and glowing eyes.

The bridge of ice welcomed them to a new land. And melted away behind them.

So the journey goes on…

Shrine debuts on Cryo Chamber with the wall of sound heavy album Quintessence

In a world like this where the fundamentals of creation and the origin of life still remain beyond the scope of rational comprehension, this album will take you on a metaphysical journey into the primordial chaos of the building blocks of the Universe. It is based on the concept of the Four Elements - Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, plus the Fifth Element, Quintessence, which here represents the abiogenesis, and organic life itself.

Each track is here named after a specific Element and the titles are in Old Greek with Latin transcription. A rich texture of field recordings play carefully against strange instruments and haunting voices against a massive wall of drone.

Recommended for fans of textural walls of sound.
