From beyond the illusion, Simon Heath brings us another chapter in his dark ambient epic. With this ominous release, he takes us to the origins: the primordial metropolis and into the void where the creator abandoned us. Ripe with otherworldly soundscapes, dusty field recordings and a meticulous attention to technical quality, this album stretches the boundaries of dark ambiance and imparts our id with a raw slab of flesh to digest.

Atrium Carceri - The Expedition

Ugasanie paints us a grim, cold and bleak landscape of dark ambient with this chilling album from the heart of Belarus. Careful layering of subtle pads with the frosty overlays of field recordings makes for a truly special soundscape that speaks to the core of unsheltered humanity.

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Lustmord - Black Star

I’ve been pretty obsessed with simple ratios in the forms of chord progressions for as long as I can remember, hence all the long sustained chords in my music - for some reason I find chords even more satisfying in the lower frequencies, maybe we can pick out the ratios more clearly when they’re using slower wave fronts like with bass. I also love melodies and rhythms that combine different loop lengths so that interesting syncopation effects arise as a result of the ratios between the loop lengths. A lot of my favourite new tracks recently have used these types of techniques, so I decided to base a mix around them - Semiosis.

Semiosis is a process by which we create meaning from comparison. If I tell you a made up word that doesn’t relate to anything you know, you can get little meaning from it - meaning comes from what something isn’t, how it relates to other things you know. Music works in exactly this way, with us comparing meaningless wave frequencies to find feeling in how one value relates to another - a ratio.

Whether or not you like it, your subconscious mind is a massive maths geek, and it gets really excited when it finds a 1:3:5 ratio in the stream of air pressure information being received by your ears.  Ratio has the capacity to make us feel and make us dance. But it all happens without us being aware of it. 

When you listen to long drawn out chords and syncopating rhythms however, you can’t really get the full feeling from just a quick dip in, I find that it needs time for the ratios to wash over and sink in. The more time you give to it the more beauty you can find hidden in there. So the mix is very much of this long form, it doesn’t jump from one extreme to another like some of my other mixes, and needs to have some time to develop.

Daniel Johann - Winter

Robert C. Kozletsky previously on Cryo Chamber with the ONYX collaboration is back with a solo album, Stone Speak. A warm, dark and subtle but complex drone experience awaits. 

Stone Speak is an album relating to the quintessential question…what lies beyond the borders of mortality? 

With Robert trekking to alluring ghost towns, cemeteries and sites of old Indian burial grounds to capture field recordings, the atmosphere of Stone Speak is ripe with subtle tension and melancholy. 

Stone Speak features a special collaboration track, Clandestine, with Dutch dark ambient producer Kave

released June 28, 2016 

Written, Performed, Produced - Robert C. Kozletsky 
Artwork & Mastering - Simon Heath

Apocryphos - Tenebrous

This is a track that I created by using some of the drone pad presets within Adaptiverb.

I also placed some of the wav files created into Iris to give me a couple of playable patches.

Ripperton - A Skilift Upstairs The Sleeping City - Max Cooper Remix

I’m staring up at blank walls in the dark
Wondering if what I said or did was wrong
Could I let you know what I’m thinking
Before I lose touch with my thoughts

Even if you barely know my name
there’s something about how you make me feel at home
And maybe if I clean my body and my mind
I can learn to love again I can learn to love myself 

If you were to ask me how I’m doing
I’d want to let you know that I’ve been doing fine
But we both know that, that’s a fucking lie
‘Cuz I haven’t slept in nights

Maybe I’m not worth a minute of your time
But I’m not scared of the ghost you left behind
‘Cuz when you’re already dead and cold inside
It’s easy to befriend the demons in your life

you were never my 4am

BITUMEN - Honey Hunter

This is the A2 track from my new vinyl on Traum Schallpatten - It's a restrained melodic track which I tried to keep pure to it's concept, which was when I was sitting in my studio in Autumn, looking out the windows at the trees and nature which was clouded in mist. It had a really nice atmosphere which I tried to capture.

Dark Ambient

Since the creation of this theme it's been over a year.. 
This is my experience of how much music is able to change the state of mind. You wrote about its ability to calm hearts, rejecting grief, diminish suffering and sorrow. Indeed, he dismissed also my fears. And on the thorny road of sadness started to appear sparkling lights of hope..
