A.T.M.O.M. – «Tayozhnoe»

A.T.M.O.M. - «Tayozhnoe»Cat.# … DNA 129
Release Date … 19.03.2012
Genre … Dark Ambient, Field Recordings
Type … FLAC Lossless

Taras Voloschuck’s A.T.M.O.M., a second half of collaborative noise/ambient project B.A.R.D.M.O.M., now presents his new work called «Таёжное» (Tayozhnoe – in Russian it means an adjective for the word «taiga», a wild Siberian forest).

The title says for itself: here is more than hour of powerful dark ambient heavily soaked with forest rains, forest darkness and forest winds. Tons of taiga’s field recordings make this work sometimes noisy, sometimes meditative – just like a forest itself.

С1-117 – «Purification»

С1-117 - «Purification»Cat.# … DNA 94
Release Date … 30.08.2010
Genre … Dark Ambient, Industrial, Field Recordings
Type … FLAC Lossless

«Purification» by С1-117 is a piece of old good industrial and classic dark ambient. The man behind the project defines Maeror Tri и Lustmord as his key points but their creativities are just guidelines for С1-117 but not examples for imitation.

Based on noises of various nature, this work looks like cold and lifeless sound canvas composed of rustles, cracks, processed field recordings, weird voice samples.

Artworks by С1-117.

Tracklisting:

  1. С1-117 – Intro (01:16)
  2. С1-117 – Destruction (04:18)
  3. С1-117 – Magnetic Storms (06:00)
  4. С1-117 – Purification (04:59)
  5. С1-117 – Into The World Of Shadows (08:00)
  6. С1-117 – Distortion (06:00)
  7. С1-117 – Ritual (08:20)
  8. С1-117 – Radioactive Dust (feat. The Ink Spots) (07:33)

R6 – «Ritual Of North»

R6 - «Ritual Of North»Cat.# … DNA 86
Release Date … 15.05.2010
Genre … Dark Ambient, Ethnic, Field Recordings
Type … FLAC Lossless

This stunning work by Russian industrial project R6 reveals its amazingly high level of composition and quality. «Ritual Of North» smoothly combines powerful dark ambient, fine work with voice samples and field recordings, noise elements.

But the main thing is that awesome atmosphere of enigmatic coexistence of Orthodoxy and ancient pagan culture existed in Russian North as well as meditation and mental unity with The Nature.

This work creates an unique feeling of «the call of the blood», appeals to subconsciousness, to tribal memory.

Genre … Experimental, Field Recordings, Sound Art
Type … FLAC Lossless

«H2OCO2» is the next Jan Kees Helms’ experiment with field recordings, a new chapter in his sound research of world elemental essences.

Artworks are by Jan Kees Helms.
