WMRI - Tenth Anniversary

Record: 2003-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1309.0175
Traditional Electronic, Berlin School

Traditional electronic music - a genre that will never be popular. It is too romantic and not the story of the household chores, too tactful and do not impose itself on the listener. There are always a bit of composers who are ready to give up their claims to the easily achievable popularity in the name of intelligent romance - it's usually home musicians who work for the pleasure, if not into the desk drawer - and in our time in Russia there are only a few of them. This year, one of those few projects - WMRI - celebrates its 10th anniversary.

"These tricky stars constantly escape!" - Oven thought. She has been adjusting her butterfly net - it wounded tightly onto the ring and tangled, - and preparing for a new stroke. And here they are approaching again. "Whew!" - the net whistled, rounding arc. Miss... Somehow, Oven was believed that catching and swallowing the star of the Pleiades could gain her the soul.

Record: 2011-2013 • Edition: 2013 • USC-WR-1309.0172
Industrial, Dubstep, Rhythmic Noise

The universe unfolds before the eyes of a man its mysterious and at times frightening spaces, filled with the strangest things and phenomena. It is careless about making the world apprehensible to human. Cosmos doesn't speak human language. Being only a microscopic particle of it - even sane - generally speaking, mankind remains powerless in enormity of the world. However, curiosity and imagination, these essential components of human nature irresistibly entail into the most cryptic depths of infinity either depriving consciousness or granting delight of understanding.

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.

Someone's waiting at the soiree... This is me - no need to worry, but you better run. Well, that's really fun!
