The Elwro 800
06:17
|

Inspired by Kieslowki’s Dekalog, jeden. The father and his son make measurements of the thickness of the ice on a nearby lake using a computer program, which makes the son confident that he can walk on the ice. When he tries, the ice on the lake breaks, and he drowns. The computer measurements are done on a Elwro, a polish soviet-era computer.

The uncreated light
07:23
|

A nuclear submarine that descends through deep waters... a journey into the subconscious... the unholy alliance of state and religion. In the orthodox mysticism, the uncreated light is the flashes of light one can experience with closed eyes, which is interpreted as a manifestation of divine light and energy.

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure.
