Andrew Odd - Beauty

Aseptic Void known for his stellar work on the Slender Woods game debuts on Cryo Chamber with his album Psychosis. A fitting name for the visions it creates of mental asylums and damaged psyches. Conjuring visions of decayed and abandoned playgrounds and rusted up old schoolyards while the illusion rots away, this is pure darkness molded into black ambient noise.

Piano - Andy
Strings (vst)- Helen

Helen thought the repeating piano phrase reminded her of an old fashioned treadle weaving loom. So the track is a sort of homage to those who laboured at these devices to create fabric and clothing for the masses. The painting is "Weaver" by Vincent Van Gogh.

Dead Melodies - The Old Cabin

Ruptured World returns with a second "Rituals" album of instrumental tracks, combining space ambient with radio art and occasional flurries of trumpet sounds with enigmatic field recordings.

The void of the stars is not an empty one. It is a thriving vessel of cosmic bodies and the unaccountable vastness of the ultra-deep field.

"Void Rituals" imagines the visions of the Seers of ancient pasts and unknown futures, projecting their mind's eye into the scattered minutia of the spacetime continuum.

They invoke the enchantments of the arcane scripts of "The Book of Origins" and recite the edicts drawn from the legacies of the First Gazers Upon the Pavilion.

They are the archivists of an old yearning—the legislators of untold dreamscapes—privy to the secret motions of distant worlds and the ways of the gods who oversee them.

The album: Spine of Destiny
"Spine of Destiny" follows the harrowing journey of Lucksy, Sariandi, and Alestein as they search for their lost friend, Thorgar. Their quest leads them to Bremen, where they are met with the devastating sight of an onslaught against innocent villagers, a massacre seemingly caused by Thorgar himself. Determined to uncover the truth, they encounter Fiztik, a gnome who guides them into the depths of the Underdark.

This electronic ambient and downtempo album captures the essence of their perilous journey. Immerse yourself in the atmospheric soundscapes as you accompany Lucksy, Sariandi, and Alestein through the labyrinthine passages of the Underdark, driven by friendship, mystery, and the spine-chilling quest for answers.

The Gnome's Tale

The Gnome’s Tale

First Light

rain reminds me of when i was little
in my garden with the mud to my ankle
and petrichor in my hair
wild flowers bathing in delight
my eyes water when i laugh
i think about that
once and a while when the sun is out
as i drift off to that house
where rare birds migrated
and warmed their feathers in the grass
beside me
believe me
there’s magic in those memories
there’s magic in our being

rain reminds me (w/ Luna Harley)

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.

The Hunted (ft. wildsilences)

A Silent Retreat

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.

Silent Skies (Instrumental)

Elegy for a solitary trumpet and string orchestra. In this part the Pandemic Suite reaches its deepest melancholic expression. The track grapples with loss—what is gone and cannot be reclaimed, inconsolable sorrow and irrevocable regret. The everyday painfull questions:
- Where were you when I searched you ? 
- Where were I when You searched me ?
- Where were you when I needed you ? 
- Where were I when you needed me ?
- Where were we when we got lost ?

Beware the Claws of Palug

Dafne's Journey - By Moshe Levi and Stefan Kraft

Composer and Harpist Anne Vanschothorst’s music has been described as innovative, minimal, lyrical, cinematic, and touching yet intense. The same rings true in THAT I DID ALWAYS LOVE, the artist’s musical ode to the great American poet Emily Dickinson. Featuring seven of the poet’s works set to music, Vanschothorst fosters an intimate listening space where two art forms reach a soothing synthesis, amplifying the elegance of Dickinson’s texts with the graceful nature of the harp, a perfect pairing. linktr.ee/thatididalwayslove

ROGUE cassette. ... White Light has been the album that introduced me to witch house a while back and I still consider it one of the most intelligent albums of the genre. Excellent songwriting paired with clever and diverse use of the instruments makes every song sound fresh

BLVCK CEILING (настоящее имя Дэн Оушен) - известный в своем родном Спокане, штат Вашингтон, как автор, продюсер и исполнитель. Интригующий своей подачей, как музыкальной, так и визуальной. Поклонник мрачной оккультистской эстетики и вязких тянучих паттернов.
