@dronnydarko: Thank you, man! Hmm, that is interesting....I never thought about how my music would sound on a cassette..

Ajna Unreleased

Drifting Sun

With "Atlas," I've aimed to balance tension and depth, creating immersive drone soundscapes that are both forward-thinking and emotionally resonant. The saturated drone pieces provide ample space for interpretation, crafting an experience where technological precision meets organic warmth.

Emeril Fields

Nueva Vida

Sketches On Silence is an experimental ambient drone EP

Field of Memories is a deeply personal journey through time, capturing the essence of childhood innocence, life’s transitions, and the emotions woven into growing up. Each composition drifts like a warm breeze over an open field at dusk—calm, reflective, and filled with nostalgia. With delicate melodies and atmospheric soundscapes, this album invites you to sit in the stillness of the evening, letting memories unfold like distant echoes in the wind.

Produced and mixed by Maximilian Schmitt (Arrival in Eden)
Mastered by Maximilian Schmitt & Dionis Afonichev (Dionisaf)

ll tracks on this album were created using analogue media, tape loops, and non-musical noises. Tape and vinyl defects become elements of the composition here. In the modern digital era, people are losing touch with tangible reality and living nature, plunging into an artificial, synthetic, and virtual environment. The naturalness and uniqueness of simple things are becoming rarities.

This album was first released on Élan Vital Recordings on September 1, 2021, then was re-released on Rhymes Music in 2022, and now, slightly reworked (brought to perfection), is finally coming out on Chitra Records.

Lost Rarities

Flying Ships

Participation mystique refers to the innate human connection to symbolic and imaginative experiences. This symbolic realm exists before or alongside our ability to think analytically or rationally. The idea is strongly linked to projection, as these symbolic or mythic elements naturally extend themselves into the world around us—into people, places, and things, just like how we unconsciously assign color to what we see.

Participation mystique is not just a psychological concept, but an aesthetic principle – a lens through which we perceive art as more than just something we observe; it becomes something inhabited.

In artistic terms, participation mystique can be thought of as a dissolving boundary between the self and the image. In this perspective, any manifestation of art can be perceived not just as an external object, but as an extension of the viewer’s unconscious. Colors, shapes, and atmosphere resonate with inner archetypes – mythical, primordial, emotional – before the mind can name them. This is why abstract compositions can seem hauntingly familiar, or why certain symbols – like a spiral, a doorway, or a shady forest – draw out something ancient, deep, and unconscious from us.
