Anatoly Khvostishko – «лабиринт сна, часть 2 (slumber labyrinth, part 2)»

Cat.# … DNA 193
Release Date … 05.04.2016
Genre … Drone Ambient, Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC Lossless

The second journey in slumber labyrinth will start at the point where the first one ends. It welcomes you with intrusive and arrhythmic bones’ clattering on the background of torpid hum. Later the hum develops in a deep and complex drone construction with embedded dark ambient soundscapes. In this enormous drone structure’s slow development, peaks periodically change fading while bones thuds turn again to rare noise artifacts of anthropogenic and industrial character. In the last fading the second journey eventually ends, and you find yourself left alone in the middle of the maze where each path you choose can lead you to the exit or to the dead end.

The first untitled track was recorded in December 2015 / January 2016.
The second untitled track was recorded in June 2016.
The third untitled track was recorded in May 2016.

Anatoly Khvostishko – «лабиринт сна, часть 1 (slumber labyrinth, part 1)»

Cat.# … DNA 192
Release Date … 03.04.2016
Genre … Drone Ambient, Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC Lossless

Your journey in the slumber labyrinth starts with resonant low-frequency hum encrusted with sharp noises of anthropogenic and industrial origin. While background hum increases pressure and develops to uneasy and vibrant drone canvases with dark ambient elements, noise inlay becomes more polished and receives a portion of mysterious bone thuds. Here your meditative journey ends up, and you find yourself in strait corridors surrounded by walls of hum pushing you aggressively with repeated and loud drone loops. Eventually at the peak when you’re ready to surrender, the wall of hum falls to pieces filling the space around you with chaotically mixed noises and creaks trapped in static drone background. And then it finally end up in the simple drone loop to underline anxiety and noisiness of your first journey in slumber labyrinth.

The first untitled track was recorded in June 2016.

Kolpakopf – «Ink»

Cat.# … DNA 189
Release Date … 01.03.2017
Genre … Dark Ambient, Drone Ambient
Type … FLAC

Sometimes Kolpakopf impresses with sound experiments but this time he just put you in thick boiling mass of drones where dark ambient soundscapes, distorted bells ringing, dissonant pipe organ and piano, and contorted chants sink and float. Echo-like splashes of repetitive drones, hysterical high-frequency loops, frantic hums’ spasmodic pulsations can’t hide unstable layered constructions made of various sound materials with imperative atonal combinations. On the background of local peaks of sound pressure, each piece increases intensity and progress eventually to emphatic apogee before emotional discharge in catatonic final. And there you find Kolpakopf’s usual anxiety, personal phobias initialization, and isolationist mood – as always though.

Recorded in 2016.

Tracklisting:

  1. Kolpakopf – Untitled (16:32)
  2. Kolpakopf – Untitled (19:09)
  3. Kolpakopf – Untitled (15:42)

EugeneKha & Microbit Project – «Crossings»

Cat.# … DNA 187
Release Date … 27.12.2016
Genre … Dark Ambient, Drone Ambient
Type … FLAC

«Crossings» is more than a collage of unreleased and already released tracks and drafts created in 2005-2010 under EugeneKha and Microbit Project.

It’s an attempt to rethink and to organize last experiences in a combination of various (and maybe opposite) approaches. This combination converts to «Crossings», an audio reflection of real and surreal worlds, a new form, a new experience with a new sound.

Kolpakopf – «Escapism»

Cat.# … DNA 186
Release Date … 09.11.2016
Genre … Dark Ambient
Type … FLAC

Sullen Kolpakopf keeps pressing with his original dark, heavy and a bit claustrophobic ambient. Kolpakopf’s «Escapism» reveals not a final point for escapist but the process of reaching that point.

Saturnine soundscapes, catacombs pathways, illegible voices through hum and noises and unceasing mental stress. Black-and-white vision, walking on the edge, electric lights instead of sun and rare scrappy images of escapist relaxation at the peak of psychic burnout.

Recorded in 2016.

Tracklisting:

  1. Kolpakopf – I (11:48)
  2. Kolpakopf – II (15:40)
  3. Kolpakopf – III (13:42)
