Timeless Beauty

The collaboration between Denis and Andrea began through a shared admiration for each other's music. Andrea first discovered Denis’ work and was immediately drawn to its nostalgic, dreamlike quality—like shimmering childhood memories preserved on tape. The emotional depth and analog warmth of his sound resonated deeply, inspiring her to reach out and connect.

What followed was an organic creative exchange. Working remotely, the two artists began trading sketches, gradually shaping them into fully formed compositions. Their process was instinctive and fluid, guided by a mutual understanding and a shared curiosity for sound exploration.

Above is the result of this collaboration—a five-track EP that weaves together delicate melodies, textured layers, and the tactile charm of analog instruments. The duo experimented with tonal shifts, ambient spaces, and randomized samplers, crafting a sonic landscape that feels both intimate and expansive.

The aesthetic of the release is rounded out by Denis’ analog photography, adding a visual dimension that echoes the warmth and timelessness of the music. Above invites listeners into a quiet world of reflection, where sound and memory gently intertwine.

Mimicry

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.

Participation Mystique

Distant Shores (Brannan Lane Remix)


Echoes You Can’t Unhear is a 30-track journey through late-night frequency, empty highways, and emotional residue. Built from lo-fi textures and ambient synths, this album is for those moments when silence is too loud and your thoughts start to echo. Each instrumental was crafted for repeat listens  whether you're coding, driving, thinking, or healing.

This isn't just background noise  it's foreground atmosphere.  Yoru delivers immersive soundscapes that drift between lofi, chillwave, ambient electronica, and experimental textures. The pacing is slow-burn but emotionally gripping, made for those who feel too much and say too little. No words  just everything you're trying not to feel.

Perfect for:

Late night reflection

Studying, reading, or decompressing

Lofi lovers who want more emotion in their mix

Listeners who loop albums from start to finish

Fans of ambient storytelling through sound

Track Highlights:

“No Sound Without You” – haunting and minimalist, perfect for rainy nights.

“We Kept Playing Anyway” – a soft outro that never fully resolves.

Echoes You Can’t Unhear

SILENTIUM -slow and quite listening music- is part of a set of Piano compositions that have been adapted for various instruments.

SILENTIUM

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

FallingForward

Maybe They Will Sing for Us Tomorrow

Gold Star Mothers

Just something subdued for the winter season... This will appear on my upcoming album Night Air, which I hope to have complete and released before Spring comes.

Valotihkuu is the sound of light seeping through the foliage, captured on magnetic tape. A fragile collage of field recordings, wobbly synths, and timid melodies drawing inspiration from childhood memories and fleeting moments in nature
