Epsilon Eridani

Originating from Mexico City, Juan Pablo Valle is producing both ambient and dark ambient, sampling sounds from everything and modifying them by pitching or time stretching, and adding some warm or dark melodies to his compositions.
His first EP called "I Remember How We Recorded The Moon Landing Hoax In An Enormous Cave", released in 2008, was immediately added to the german label Grundruck.
In 2009 he was added to the catalogues of Amduscias Records from USA, Heromlabs Records from Mexico and DNA Production from Russia, who released the first Epsilon Eridani's album called "Retrospective" (DNA 58) in August 10th. He appeared in the DNA Production's second anniversary compilation called "Fall Asleep Ghosts". The second Epsilon Eridani's album called "Lamentos Lejanos" (DNA 74) was released in January 10th of 2010.

"Lamentos Lejanos" is the Epsilon Eridani second full-length album created for DNA Production. In contrast to debut work, new one is fully consist of fresh tracks.
This release discovers new elements in project creativity. It has less standart dark ambient and more new age and light ambient features which become a counterbalance to massive noise structures pulsing on background and creating sound pressure. And there is the culmination of the pressure when noise loops come to end interrupted by clear and extremely cold ambient in "Immer Schnee In Silenzio". This track is absolute winner, it wins over with its expressive vocal samples and atmosphere of tragedy and stoicism.
Inspired by music of Sofia Gubaidulina, "Immer Schnee In Silenzio" slightly differs from other tracks in musical and emotional sides. After this impressive peak album goes to coda, a long bunch of two dark claustrophobic tracks which are full of voice samples and chorales wandering in dark closed spaces, stumbling on walls of noise interferences...

Epsilon Eridani - Retrospective

Cat # ... DNA 58
Release Date ... 10.08.2009
Genre ... Dark Ambient
Type ... mp3 CBR 320 kbps / FLAC Lossless
Size ... 100Mb / 145Mb

Dark ambient project Epsilon Eridani presents slightly unusual work. It's called "Retrospective" and is the set of the Mexican outfit's best tracks mixed and performed by Juan Pablo Valle, project mastermind.
Nine deep and multilayer dark ambient tracks imperceptibly segue into each other creating seamless majestic sound canvas. Field recording experiences mix with touches of religious voice samples as a frame for slowly changed spatial soundscapes.
This is the music to listen in loneliness and darkness with shut eyes. This is springboard for dreaming subconsciousness painting weird pictures in listener's inner vision.
