Ultimum Saeculum
by Apocryphos
Dave Aftandilian
Dave Aftandilian
Powerful mix of all the emotions one might feel when facing the end of days. Awe and horror, of course, and morbid curiosity; but also a wondrous floating radiance like diamond-sparks on gently rolling wavelets, or a soft light in the sky guiding your soul toward the world beyond. (Bonus points for using cool words from the _Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows_ for many of the track titles!)

Coupled with sparse clicks, pops, crackling, and light percussive elements, these shifting drones ask the question of what one would do at the end of the world. If given 24 hours before the Earth’s demise, would one ruminate in sadness and loss, be motivated to find an inner peace, or do something else altogether?

about
Robert presents us with his 6th full length, where his current analog techniques bridge with productions of the past. A warm and haunting experience awaits in the Ultimum Saeculum.
If humanity and the world we know ceased to be, what would you do with your last day on Earth? Would you lament over the loss of everything that gave cohesion to existence? Or would you take control of your final destiny and pursue the ultimate peace within? Only the waves can grant this final journey where time is ticking and it's always close to midnight. Ultimum Saeculum utilizes the warmth of analog processing, attuned pedal arragments, and an array of field recordings to deliver a unique concept of telling a story of desperation and redemption in the passing of a day.

I've never been a huge fan of dongeon synth, but when it's done by Pär Boström, it's a different thing. Once again the first song must be considered as an introduction to the whole album, which must be listened to wholefully. And once again it's a mesmerizing piece. I love the synth sounds which sometimes make me think of early Vangelis stuff, but more melancholic. Hard to pick a favorite song... Great continuation to Aindulmedir, same cook but slighly different recipe. Thank you, master.

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures.

Dreamy ambient from Tokyo's Betts(JP) that captures the impermanence of emotion in elegant washes of synth and field recordings.
