#Arktau eos stillatory series
Tape #1 opens the series with “Avaruuksien avaaja” and “Syvänteiden oraakkeli”, both running to 20+ minutes. The occasional ‘Repository’ tapes contain material that for some reason falls outside album contexts proper: private meditations, lengthy experiments & so forth, which may yet be of interest to the most dedicated of Arktau Eos’ listeners. The special edition is accompanied by an exclusive C-50 cassette album ‘Repository I’ housed inside screen printed covers. This edition includes both the ‘Catacomb Resonator’ CD and LP, as well as an exclusive insert suitable for framing, sigilised and numbered by Arktau Eos and the cover artist KTL. Paradise Lost, still at the top of their game, delivered a hearty performance of one of the staples of doom music which helped shape the entire. The special edition of ‘Catacomb Resonator’ comes in a screen printed graphite grey tote bag carrying the Arktau Eos ‘Catacomb Compass’ symbol and is limited to 60 copies. Arktau Eos It proved a hard enough exercise to snap out of this crepuscular ceremony and head back to the main venue for the one-off celebration of ‘Gothic’ in the light of its 25th anniversary.

The CD version of the album is enclosed in customised, screen printed cardboard covers. While the vinyl edition is in some ways the optimal medium for the album at hand, the CD has the advantage of being mixed as a seamless whole. Between the two segments, the sides A and B, lies the secret canticle: heard by few, yet ever present. The end result is a fascinating album of haunting, and dreamlike music that really does offer something unique.It is this process which the sixth Arktau Eos album attempts to convey: led by abyssal psalmody, the sonic tapestry is interwoven with dusty, crackling electronics of a bygone era and other, subtler elements for an all-enveloping sound that readily lends itself to prolonged listening sessions. Eerie, ritual ambient sounds and soaring drones are complemented by atmospheric field recordings which include readings spoken Middle English. medieval) English, and the ordinary people who spoke it. Now this is an intriguing concept – an album of dark ambient / experimental electronica, focusing on the English language, specifically Middle (i.e. With each play rewarding the listener with something new to uncover in the unfolding audio soundscape, this is simply outstanding! Here, his otherworldly mosaics of sound take the listener on a journey into the realms of psychedelic electronica, while staying close to the underlying dark ambient / drone ambient influences and elements. This is another cracking release from the awesome Reverse Alignment label, featuring the hypnotic electronic experimentation that we’ve come to expect from Jarl. This is one of those beautiful albums that lingers with you long after it’s finished, and calls you back to it for repeated listens. This collaborative release from Taphephobia (the main project of Ketil Søraker) and IDFT (the main project of the Iranian musician Behnoud ( Thecimal)) is an emotionally charged album of melancholic dark ambient soundscapes and haunting analogue accompaniment. This is a great place to start if you are looking to check out some of Akoustik Timbre Frekuency‘s amazing releases, or to discover the ritual ambient sub-genre. Dark ambient / drone is expertly blended together with elements of ritual ambient, shamanic and occult soundscapes, and electroacoustic rhythms, resulting in something very special indeed. The latest release from Akoustik Timbre Frekuency (his first since 2018) is “… an introspektive look through thee tekniques and praktices of thee Projekt over thee years…”. Awe-inspiring!Īkoustik Timbre Frekuency – Metamorphosis It’s an incredible listening experience and well worth checking out. It’s the perfect description, because listening to this really does make you feel as if you’re walking across a desolate icy tundra as thoughts of despair, hurt and frustration race through your mind. The latest dark ambient / drone release from Luca Tommasini (the man behind the awesome Tiny Drones for Lovers label) is described as “… a one track album suite about cold winter, loneliness, near silence moment, heart & pain, wind, empty landscape and creepy daymare…”.

It’s wonderfully done – the 2 hour audio journey is perfect for losing yourself in, with the music aggressive and challenging in places, gentler and more welcoming in others. This new release on the ever excellent Sombre Soniks label is a new collaboration between A Demon Sheen ( Grist) and P23 ( Akoustik Timbre Frekuency) featuring an incredible two hour drone / processed guitar soundscape to die for.

Here are the dark ambient albums that we at This is Darkness have been listening to this month – some are new releases, but a few are older gems we’ve just (re)discovered.
