»  Xalm Retribution - Ruins Of Love


[DNA 123] Xalm Retribution - «Ruins Of Love» Cat # ... DNA 123
Release Date ... 26.01.2012
Genre ... Industrial , Dark Ambient
Type ... FLAC Lossless


Human life is like a big construction process. Born one day, a man grows up and starts his own building using human relations as bricks. Sooner or later a man falls in love and it helps him make his building strong and lasting. Sooner or later this building will collapse as a love will go to ruin.
"Ruins Of Love" is a story about such building. Mechanic noises and industrial beats are in the first part of the work where the construction is going on. Feelings of loneliness and desolation reign in the second part. After collapse, everything stagnates and waits for the first signs of new construction cycle starting. So now here only abstract field recordings rarely break static and minimal ambient soundscapes.

»  Somnium & Alenda - Split


[DNA 121] Somnium & Alenda - «Split» Cat # ... DNA 121
Release Date ... 28.11.2011
Genre ... Drone Ambient
Type ... FLAC Lossless


Here is another work from Italian drone ambient project Somnium, this time in collaboration with Belgian act called Alenda. This split album is an epic more-than-hour release with three monumental drone ambient tracks.
Somnium part is traditionally dedicated to exploring various human mental disorders with the instruments of sounds and visual art. In this work sounds dominates as viscid drones of "Dissociazione" brings a listener to weird state of dissociation where human perception comes to discordance with conscious and psychic processes. "K-Hole" aggravates the state and shows how it can lead to total depersonalization through schizophrenic reaction, temporary memory loss and vivid hallucinations. Low frequencies howlings pierce hallucinogenic canvas of fluid drones and creates inside a weird impression of chaos and claustrophobia at the same time.
Alenda part presents single more than 37 minutes long piece. Staying in drone ambient territory, it differs from Somnium part a lot musically and conceptually as well. "Art of Zen" acts as a instrument in meditation practice. Static and primitive low-frequencies drones work perfectly in the art of Zen which learns how to reach enlightment through meditative contemplation.


»  Somnium - Arachnophobia EP


[DNA 120] Somnium - «Arachnophobia EP» Cat # ... DNA 120
Release Date ... 30.10.2011
Genre ... Drone Ambient, Dark Ambient
Type ... FLAC Lossless


"Arachnophobia EP" is a work of a new project Somnium by ky who recently in collaboration with DNA Production released an album of the same name. It was last work under his old project Null, and now he starts working as Somnium.
Somnium debut work slightly differs from previous release. Less Troum influence, expressive composition of tracks which contrast with each other to reach some new level of development. This is totally new work with new ideas and fresh approach. Also "Arachnophobia EP" revives Short Drones series. It was ky's desire, and I'm very grateful to him for that.
Araneae is built on endless loops of steel drum Kalimba which are slowly sinking in waves of strings chords and low-frequency drones. It reaches a peak when the drones meet cacophony of high-frequency noises as fear turns to panic horror. Then seconds later Araneae dramatically looses power and returns to the Kalimba loops with eerie feelings staying at the heart of a listener.
Unlike the first track, Scorpiones is much calm. It's made of hundreds tiny ambient layers, pieces of drones and string chords fragments. Main theme for Scorpiones is a melody piece which is one breath cycle long. And it naturally starts to breathe like a sleeping man when the melody loops consecutively along the whole track. Driven by drone pulsations, Scorpiones oscillates measuredly tempting a listener to fall into a dreaming state where reality looses its boundaries and human brain follows a way of subconsciousness.

Reiki is a deep concentration that expands energy inside over and over until you cannot understand how to control it or how stop it.
Oltrance is direct opposite, it's a fatal loss of energy which forces you to recover. It's an endless circle of trance in waiting for something you cannot receive.
Nervuoto is about slow stopping of brain work due to brain cells death and an influence on perception of a person who suffers from such health problem.

[DNA 112] The Ghost Between The Strings - «A Map Of Scars» Cat # ... DNA 112
Release Date ... 05.09.2011
Genre ... Ambient, Drone
Type ... FLAC Lossless


The Ghost Between The Strings is a next guitar drone jewel in DNA Production catalogue. Presented earlier as a collaboration member in "Rotation Project", now this French one-person project comes with full-length album "A Map Of Scars", a beautiful and expressive guitar drone work consisting of three long pieces. All the tracks are in different mood, from melancholic to utterly dark, and this fluidity is another thing the work benefits from.

"All sounds here come from improvisations on prepared guitar, sometimes with e-bow, recorded during winter 2010/2011. Later these tracks have been slightly processed, edited and mixed in a more droney way, but trying to keep the heaviness of the primary sound. There is no particular concept behind this album, just the sonic exploration of some unspoken dark feelings." - TGBTS

The perception of a space, urban or natural, is a sensory process which differs from a person to the other one.
Through his equipment, a topographer have mainly a geometrical and visual perception, while a walker, or a traveller, use his hearing and olfactive perceptions besides his vision, an approach at once instinctive and poetic.
But we could imagine a topographer dreamer and poet whose sensory processes harmonize to form an imaginary and timeless landscape…
This is the idea of this album which invites us in an imaginary and timeless world, outside our usual perceptions.

»  Creation VI - Apeiros


[DNA 107] Creation VI - «Apeiros» Cat # ... DNA 107
Release Date ... 10.04.2011
Genre ... Drone Ambient
Type ... FLAC Lossless


Apeiros (Greek word means "infinitely incognizable") is a term Plato used for description of primary matter which is out of principle of the form. Unlike the common matter of the perceived Universe, Apeiros has to contain determinacy principle as it should be the beginning for everything else. But also it means that Apeiros must stay indefinite. Thus here is an actualization of the transcendent into immanent.

«Apeiros» by Creation VI is an original picture of Universe where superstrings theory combines with Plato’s doctrine about the matter and Hindu universe conception combines with quantum mechanics.

The World here looks like united decentralized network where each element can express all others. The World as a universal wave function of indefinite number of vibrating superstrings which all are just monad essences cuts, indefinite archetypes that continuously actualize itself and thus create the stream of unboundedness.

»  Marc-Henri Arfeux - Loire Abstraction


[DNA 102] Marc-Henri Arfeux - «Loire Abstraction» Cat # ... DNA 102
Release Date ... 30.01.2011
Genre ... Abstract, Ambient
Type ... FLAC Lossless


Since the XVIth century, the river Loire has always been a poetic emblem in French culture and arts, for the beauty of its slow waters and landscapes. In the second part of the XXth century, the great painter Olivier Debré who lived on its banks often refered in his subtle abstract way to its moving lights and colours along seasons and hours.
This album expresses my own tribute to Olivier Debré and his Loire paintings I admire deeply, in the form of a symphonic poem for synthesizers and various electronic devices, divided into seven parts. Each one has a title Olivier Debré could have chosen and conveys into music an imaginary Loire vision he could have painted. Has the most feminine of the French rivers, music is a constant metamorphosis of miraculous unique instants in progress.

»  Dodeccaheedron - The Sounds Of Drifting Mind Fields


[DNA 100] Dodeccaheedron - «The Sounds Of Drifting Mind Fields» Cat # ... DNA 100
Release Date ... 15.01.2011
Genre ... Dark Ambient, Industrial
Type ... FLAC Lossless


«Nature's way is to leave no residue
All is absorbed
Therefore we treasure the "least of man"
All belongs
All is salvaged
Nothing is rejected
This is called Stealing the Light...
Nature's subtle secret»

Timothy Leary from "Psychedelic Prayers"

Worlds are born, Worlds pass away into the abyss of nothingness. The inhabitants of some are involved into the act, but cannot influence anything. Those can contemplate only. The others who do not belong to the fading Worlds can observe the course of the Universal history from outside. Who we are, living in one of myriad of Worlds of the Universe, - contemplators or the beheld? There is no answer.
The nature of Dodeccaheedron is the basic shape of the Universe. He is the Object and the Subject at the same time. Worlds are born, live, die and transform inside of it into something obscure to its own understanding while its embodiment lasts. Dodeccaheedron catches the Worlds with Attention, listens to their voices, watches them impartially and at the same time goes through all their emotions. There is nothing that's beyond us. This album is echo of the End of Worlds of "N'harg'ho Vedu" and the beginning of the saga of a new "Green World" creation.

Being in current consciousness stream of the reality, Dodeccaheedron operates with its matters to compose sound canvas, because the vibrations of reality lying outside the limits of perception cannot be heard by most of the reality inhabitants. Sounds, noises, voices and songs heard in this World as well as Dodeccaheedron's poetry were utilized to give life to this unique creation.
