SKY072_The City Of Pyramids - Feather / Square in the Circle

 



drone ambient / modular synth / dark ambient / cosmic

Feather is a modular journey to the forgotten city from the future. Meditation begins in the hills nearby. It's summer and the waking sun is kissing the glass surfaces of skyscrapers still hot from a previous days. Golden rays are the perfume of ideal weather for surfing. As a night falls, we are going down to the streets. A small TV is playing it's soundtrack somewhere..


Square in the Circle is experimental drone album made for a searching of sound paradoxes, as we can see and hear them in the timespace continuum. This story begins under the night sky on the sufrace of the Earth in the lonesome dessert. We are going up more and more, further and further through a star field to the space without the end to be a whitnesses of two black holes colliding to each other. Crossing the boarders leads us to paradoxes - a small fissures in the veils of "reality", which show throught a light.

SKY070_Blind Ruler Cursed Land - Music for Firewalkers

 



esoteric dark ambient / drone / oriental / psychedelic / neofolk


Music For Firewalkers
is the synthesis of several styles (Neo-folk, Martial Industrial, Ethno-Ambient, World Music, and a dose of experimental). Elements of traditional Indian music blend with European-style military marches. The album oscillates between intensity and contemplation, offering a truly special atmosphere that is both abstract and epic in its depth.

To be a firewalker means
that you are ready to be consumed by flames.
As a firewalker you embrace this spirit of voluntary death
in the name of harmony instead of tragedy.
Harmony is thus the natural essence of firewalking.

Music for Firewalkers
is a struggle to find harmony
any time any place
where it seems to be unreachable.
Harmony of peace and war,
harmony of sacrifice to be taken,
harmony of hope and emptiness
of love and loneliness
of pain and relieve
of fire and water in one perfect embrace.
And speaking of musical sense,
it is the harmony between avantgarde and traditionalism.


All music and lyrics by Willhelm Grasslich

SKY069_Vyšehrad - ᛉ

 



atmospheric black metal / lo-fi / martial / dungeon synth / raw black metal

The main inspiration for the album ᛉ (algiz) was the Czech landscape nature, and the landscape of the Sázav forests waking up to summer. In addition to natural motifs, I traditionally return to paganism on the album, as my main spiritual source of inspiration. It is again a dance of infinite harmony of freedom and possibility - a person is born with a predestination that he can partially change, but not completely change. The golden age of god-men is long behind us - we are making our way through the ruins of the old world, through the chasms, fallen castes and estates, through the mire of identities marred by past centuries, and thus gain an antidote to the traps of the modern world. Man does not choose how he is born, but he can choose how he will live, how he will seek beauty, and how he will die. Pilgrim hearts will always draw the lines of freedom to the stars, and the main motto of human thought will always be humility to God, laws and the free spark of true life.

SKY065_Kragrowargkomn x Jori Josiphson - Körkarlen Suite

 



dark ambient / drone / funeral doom / experimental


It is our honour to present KÖRKARLEN SUITE, a project of two experimental music composers and musicians: Kragrowargkomn and Jori Josiphson. This time, it’s in a shortened version. In January 2022, they created an alternative soundtrack to the more than a century-old Swedish silent film named Körkarlen (Phantom Carriage) from 1921. They premiered their soundtrack for this film at the festival SCANDI 2022 at Kino Film Europe in Bratislava.
The most famous element of Körkarlen movie is undoubtedly its depiction of the spirit world as a tormented void between Heaven and Earth. Director and screenwriter Victor Sjöström achieved this with double exposition... at the beginning of the last century. The viewer gradually, slowly uncovers the story of the drunkard and tyrant David, because the film's scenes do not follow in a chronological order. David's posthumous ortel and his conversation with Death are thus interspersed
with flashbacks and memories of his previous earthly life. The themes of alcoholism and domestic violence captured in this audiovisual work are still eerily relevant today...
Slow and rumbling crawling long drones form the basis of Kragrowargkomn's sound and musical aesthetic. It's achieved thanks to an under-tuned six-string bass guitar and an array of effects pedals
and tube machines, such as the legendary Sunn o))). Jori Josiphson combines acoustic instruments (such as Indian harmonium or Tibetan singing bowl) with electronics in his works. In doing so, this artist makes room for a symbiosis of electronic and acoustic sound to emerge. Jori Josiphson's research is based on the search for a certain balance, which allows him to delve into the depths of his own knowledge.
Both authors and performers of this „Körkarlen“ alternative soundtrack respected the progression of the audio-visual work. To enhance the horror atmosphere, they used a combination of the acoustic sound of the Indian harmonium and of the distorted sound of six-string electric bass guitar. This electroacoustic fusion is complemented by vocals, tibetan bowl and synthesizer. In an elegant way they combined drone music and dark ambient with funeral doom.
