To WIn in Silence

Ruffien - Proceed

Pedro Pimentel returns to Cryo Chamber with his second album on the label, Self Destruction Themes. This time with help from Amund Ulvestads beautiful cello performances, Simon Heaths textural piano work and Apocryphos atmospheric distortion layers. 

This is a massive album of cold but inviting atmospheres, filtered noise, acoustic layering and sweeping textural layers. The sad theme throughout the album paints images of a world depopulated and of overgrown and dilapidated cityscapes.

Wordclock - It May Come

Torngat

Wordclock hunts for the myths of old European sacred sites. 

Pedro's trail led him on a long journey through Porto, London and Berlin to record acoustic instruments and field recordings within the cities. 

During months of work in the studio more people joined. 

Amund Ulvestad on Cello and Electronics, who previously helped out on Wordclock's second album Self Destruction Themes. 

Nuno Craveiro on Scandinavian instrument Nyckelharpa. 

George Shmanauri on Trumpet, from dark atonal jazz duo Phonothek. 

The resulting album Heralds breaks the fringe of the genre and re-assembles the pieces. It reveals itself as a dreamlike, spiritual and nihilistic album. Classical instruments float on a backdrop of tape loops and organic sound. Sacrificial and Touching. 

Recommended for fans of Dark Jazz and Neoclassical.
