SiJ - Shadow of Time

Record: 2011-2012 • Edition: 2014 • USC-WR-1403.0204
Ambient, Space

If you glance at the familiar world through a veil of shadow, then the things may take a strange and sinister look. The shadow side always carries something, at first sight, odd, frightening, but if you take deeper into the essence, you can see the extraordinary beauty, which is usually obscured by the bright light of the day. That's the beauty of unusual forms, which are born by hiding redundant lines and curves. That's the beauty of subdued images, which themselves look plain. That's the beauty of movement, which creates the illusion of life. A whole world created by the shadow that is irresistibly impending onto the fragile reality.

Eugene Naumenko - Reversion

Record: 2012-2014 • Edition: 2014 • USC-WR-1401.0201
Modern Classical, Ambient

Reversion is a rethinking. It is memories, that each of us has experienced for sure. Sit back, close your eyes and go back to the past, living with us to this music.

WMRI - New Axis of Turning

Record: 2012 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0200
Traditional Electronic, Berlin School, Experimental

We are used to perceive the world as we see and feel it. This is called reality, at least for most. But the search for new territories of perception never ends. What if there's another reality that we can't sense, because of our limited perception of the Universe? Another dimensions that exist in parallel to ours, superimpose each other like the layers of a multilayer cake. It is quite possible that they are out of reach, and we can only guess that they occur, at best feel some illusive emanation of other world. Who knows...

Dmitriy Samoylenko - The Life We Dance

Record: 2011-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0197
Smooth Jazz, New Age

We are surrounded by a diverse and dynamic world. Something happens and changes every second in it. The set tempo is incredible for a single person. Our schedule of existence turns into an endless series of programmed actions, and we get tired or even break. But sometimes we put the game on pause in time and leave the controls to find peace and quiet. Interval when all the unnecessary and distracting dims and goes into the background, and vice versa all the important finds brightness and stands out among the noisy bustle. Moment of unity with the genuine things in the world and this life.

WMRI - Lone Tree Standing on the Edge of Nowhere

Record: 2009 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0195
Modern Classical, Ambient, Minimal

During the ongoing Black Concept series of EPs it was decided to try some different kind of experiments. Not inside ambient, but outside common electronic music at all. And then this little experiment in modern classical field was born. You can hear only digital piano with some light effects that create long, wide sounds and atmosphere. This is an etude about a tree, which stands from year to year enjoying quiet solitude, immersed in its secret internal fluctuations.

Saty - Suprematic

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0193
Tribal Ambient, Industrial

Powers of ancient age are always near and never collapse, just subside for a while to rise later with even greater disruptiveness. Shaman of far ahead century casts the spells of mass destruction on the automated machinery that the chips fly in all directions. The monstrous volcanoes open their vent underneath the buildings, and fire storm devours the whole cities. The world plunges into the abyss of antiquity...

Visionary Worlds - Dedicated to Ambient

Record: 2010-2011 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0192
Drone Ambient, Psy-Ambient

Autumn and winter. These periods motivate the human to summarize, to revise his convictions and gathered experience. Nature at this time facilitates immersion in thoughts about those aspects of life that do not lie on the surface, but paint the background daily. In the beginning, there's gloomy autumnal mood: cold, moisture and the leaden sky. Next, trance hypnotic vision of snowstorm that wraps all around, the observer and his consciousness with impenetrable veil of peace and quiet, leaving alone with depth. Then reality becomes thinner, and infinity peeps through it.

Radio Silence - Frosts

Record: 2009-2011 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1312.0191
Traditional Electronic, Ambient, New Age

When frosts come, life hides in warm corners, covering from the harsh weather. Powerful storm whirls in a fast paced dance and veils the land with a fluffy white blanket. Frost draws intricate traceries on the windows. At nightfall, snowy vasts begin to sparkle under mysterious flickering starlight. The air is filled with thrilling anticipation of the holiday, and the magic of the New Year story from childhood dreams knocks at your house.

SiJ & WMRI - Nightwave

Record: 2012-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1310.0178
Ambient, Symphonic

Night transforms the ordinary world, rolling with an irresistible wave over the secret corners of the soul. Sometimes it brings sorrowful experience to the surface - a vague feeling of wrong decisions, desire to go back in time to correct mistakes. It seems that a man aims to the stars, to high ideals, but the backside of his nature pulls into insanity and evil. Glares on crests of the night wave alternate with impenetrable blackness. Hold on this stream and save mind or turn into a gray shadow, hiding in the alleys of time - what is waiting for us?

Sirius Radiance - Silent Spaces

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1309.0177
Space

In the wake of tramp-Voyager, on the narrow pathway of stardust, upon the steps of brave explorer and pioneer we rush into depths of other spaces. Charming by its majesty, expanse widens in front of us: the ocean of silence and calm, eternity of countless light years of flight. Stars - rare violators of the gravitational quiet - flash sometimes on observation screen, separated by days and months of traveling. Infinity swirls by nebulae and currents of radiation hides in time folds, appears sometimes among the people and disappears immediately. Wondering about nature of temporal matters, we realize suddenly that we are sowing Eternity here and now, right from the board of spaceship, time and again rushing after the shadow of fellow Voyager 2 into depths of the unknown, twinkling mysteriously straight ahead, stunningly near and inconceivably far.

WMRI - Baryte Wasteland

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1309.0170
Space

There are some corners on Earth, which enchant not with multiplicity of life, but with trembling scales of lifelessness and devastation. Giant wilderness of crackled dried soil. Vast distances, that keep no trail of life. Incredible force made all living to leave this area, and plants died away without ability to avoid their destiny. Tremendous winds and continuous rains left only wasted clay surface coloured with baryte.

Sirius Radiance - Keys to Infinity

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1308.0169
Space, Dark Ambient

It all started with the cold light of stars. They glanced into illuminators, creating reflections on the control panel, running reflections inside the floating motionless in the silence ship. Surrounded by alien luminaries for a billion parsecs from home, you dwell in the intergalactic quietness and charm of spread before the consciousness abyss. How could the Universe sound? How to hear it? Exemption from impenetrable protective shell and a spacewalk should bring to the knowledge of pure creation, removing all technological barriers. Along with timeless knowledge wash over memories of childhood, when the rings of Saturn illuminated tiny cradle, lulling muted glow and a leisurely rotation. Reminiscences the long deserted old research station, where experience has been acquired, where lingering journey to unknown has begun: path through time and space, pursuit of elusive answers to ageless questions - the keys to infinity.

Gediminas Bytautas - Nonexistence of Existence

Record: 2006-2010 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1307.0164
Industrial, Experimental

Movement is essential for life. When you look around, you see the dynamic processes everywhere: so it was, so it is, so it will be. But when the objects stop and rest, they are likely fall out of a running stream and become nonexistent for those, who are moving. They are in their own system of interaction, concentrated on the inner evolution. There are two states of nonexistence: before and after stir - two seeming existences, because still objects are real for each other, while different by intentions. This seeming reality is called nonexistence of existence.

Saty - Melting Points

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1305.0162
Drone Ambient

In a chaotic world of abstract objects there might be something. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find something interesting in micro-level.

SiJ - Fragments of Memories

Record: 2012 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1304.0160
Ambient, Soundscapes

Memories are the thing very fragile by their nature. They are individual and exist only in the scopes of ones mind. Remembrances riven into pieces and lacklustered by passed ages may become rather misleading, embellished by healing time. Anything happens making the life variegated mozaic of color-form multitude. Some of these pieces find the connection, assimilate with each other into something new making the unique pattern of self-consciousness.

Dmitriy Samoylenko - The Miracle of Practice

Record: 2011 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1304.0159
Ambient, New Age

Spiritual becoming is an integral part of common life. This music reflects pure emotions of discovering the new horizons and encountering the most complex tasks for reaching the heights. But achievement of specific goals has no sense, for the way to knowledge has no end. You have to realize that journey is important by itself.

MindBox - Winter Fantasy

Record: 2012 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1304.0158
Ambient, Darkwave

Gloomy impressions of mysterious winter night, surrounded by ice-covered slumbering trees, flickering in twilight.

Eispollaetidespota - Eispollaetidespota

Record: 2012-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1303.0156
Ambient, New Age, Minimal

Eispollaetidespota is a word that means very special musical vision and creative labor that connected musicians of this project. Soundscapes and thoughts that appeal to the themes of human, emotions, spirit, nature and technology. An attempt to find harmony inside oneself and reconcile to the world. This is difficult and often gives rise to a momentary rapture and then anxiety. Naive melodies help to be alone. Reckon on the small house at the coast that keeps the hearth, cosiness and comfort. On the outside is the open unexplored wilderness. Simple landscapes of the near North that could be understood just by watching intently. Redundant words are everywhere, conceal the internal meaning of the music, escaping from any tokens.

Soft Note - Waterscapes

Record: 2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1302.0150
Modern Classical, Score, Space

Let the sound of orchestra carry you deep into the ocean. It’s an underwater travel without an aqualung. Dive into fine tenderness and formidable power of the great element.

Rigel Centaurus - Один год на Нумибе 32 (One Year on Numiba 32)

Record: 2012-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1302.0148
Space

Numiba 32 moves in a very prolonged elliptical orbit. One year lasts 500 terrestrial years there. Approaching the sun, it becomes free from ice, and life begins to bloom, but when it leaves, everything freezes and dies. Slowly flowing sounds open before the mind's eye majestic cosmoscapes, living through this inevitable alternation of blossom and fading.
