THIS magnificent composition, like a Dostoevsky novel, is very interesting and exciting.Thank you.

Beautiful track! Wonderful drone. Really like this.

Superb slow gusts of solitude and dark spirited speech, a Master at work...love this...

Amazing, deep piece...especially in this rainy weather as I have outside.

something wonderfully primeval and arcane about this droning ambience, like a chant from the earliest time,, absolute engulfs the listener... superb dark journey!

This 15 track soundtrack by Atrium Carceri was composed for the Narrative Philosophical game "The Old City". Soothing string like atmospheres, distorted drones and brooding atmospheres carry the listeners throughout the album. 

Atrium Carceri - Old Tunnels

Where you go when the monster is within

Throughout history, alchemists have captivated our minds with their quests to turn base materials into gold and seek the philosopher's stone. Their work was shrouded in metaphor and mystery, embodying a desire to understand the universe's hidden truths. Similarly, this collection of sounds endeavors to evoke the essence of that magical process. Each composition is a carefully crafted distillation of emotions, imagery, and ideas, resonating with the transformative powers attributed to the alchemical arts.

In Alchemies, Paul Beaudoin blends orchestral textures with glitch and noise elements, creating a sonic alchemy that mirrors the ancient quest for transformation. These contrasting sound worlds—organic and synthetic, refined and raw—come together in a seamless dialogue, embodying the fusion of disparate materials that the alchemists sought.

The album weaves through an auditory landscape, transporting you to the Fire of Calcination, where raw elements are purified, or the ethereal Black Sun, where shadows and light intertwine. As you listen, imagine the delicate Golden Transmutation—the alchemical transformation of sound and silence into rich tapestries of experience. Each track is an invitation to engage with the mysteries at the intersection of sound and spirit, reminiscent of the alchemist’s laboratory, filled with curiosity and wonder.

Join Ambient Cat on this journey as we explore the tenets of alchemy through sound, delving into the Salt of the Earth and emerging into the Albedo Phase, where clarity and illumination reign. Each piece is a gateway into an imaginative realm where transformation and transcendence occur—much like the alchemists sought, through their craft, to unlock the hidden potential of the universe.

Alchemies

The Albedo Phase

Svartsinn was asked to contribute a song for the desibel project which is a part of Norway's biggest festival "Øyafestivalen" in 2016. As I was already working on a new album I chose to make a track with a theme that could fit in with the album concept. This is the desibel project version of the song. A slightly different version will appear on the album.  The song image shows the speakers also known as Desibel. (The worlds biggest mobile speakers). Mastered by Simon Heath at Cryo Chamber.

Forbidden Temple, Pt. 1

Dark ambient track featuring Jonathan Yandel on piano.

The Ladder (feat. Jonathan Yandel)

The pre-order for "Ghosts on Broken Pavement", my second full-length album through Cyro Chamber, is now available. This album is intensively inspired by old jungle/hardcore tunes I massively adore, pirate radios and 'urban longing', while shaping up my repetitive style of ambient drone. If "Winter Restlessness" was for home listening, then this one is, definitely, for a outside listening. 

You can pre-order the album through Cyro Chamber's Bandcamp and preview the first two tracks there too: cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/ghosts-on-broken-pavement 

I hope you enjoy it.

Ghosts on Broken Pavement

Gray-Tinged Suburbs

Mount Shrine serves us his 2nd solo album on Cryo Chamber. A deep and meditative journey set both inside and outside an Urban setting. 

The radio transmissions led you here, a city of memories past and passed. 

The streets lie silent as you watch from above the high rise. A twirling mountain casts a deafening shadow over this place. Here between the world of life and death you are but a tiny spec of dust on the shoulder of giants, a world built by the dreamers that came before you. The sleepers drift here, trapped in glitching time loops that crackle when reset. 

Ghosts on Broken Pavement is an album that takes us back to the safe embrace of childhood dreams. For lovers of deep subs, airy field recordings and harmonic drones this album is as atmospheric as it is beautiful.
