Awakening (2011) (RECM)

Simple ambient tune that was also used on Secret Spacedrug Mine, Epic and some other tracks. But here, very long and time delayed pads are used which creates a nostalgic atmosphere. It could work in a movie sequence.

The Drone

Experiments in drone music. Creepy and it gets even creepier as the track progesses, but could be interesting for lovers of drone music. The best part begins at about 15:00 and especially 17:00. NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Cosmic Train (RECM)

Nostalgic, atmospheric ambient. Perhaps a bit reminiscent of the OST for Bladerunner in the beginning.

• Ante Tempora Form

Very weird and experimental, not very melodic until the very end. Inspired by Klaus Schulze’s early works such as Cyborg and Irrlicht. Definitely not for everybody and only for those who are into this kind of drone music. It was produced while I was in a very depressive mood and reflects the will to get out of it.

On the other hand, the track represents the sounds in one’s head while he is waking up from deep night’s sleep and slowly enters the waking consciousness. The waking mind slowly takes over the impressions from the night, and the consciousness heads into a more concrete melody.

• Epic  (RECM)

A simple melody (the same one that I used in Secret SpaceMine Drug and other tracks) now played with string orchestra synthesizer. It sounds a bit pompous, if not even banal, but it’s pretty good on the whole.

• Purgatorius Ignis/Purifying Fire (Intro) (RECM) 

This was supposed to be the first track for a new album, but I never got around to making the rest of it. There is a bit of an influence from JMJ’s Revolutions, but it is an original work. This track is also unfinished

This project was initiated sometime in September when I heard that JMJ was going to give a concert in Belgrade for the 2nd time. The track has been inspired by his track “Waiting for Cousteau” from the eponymous album.

The first part (from the beginning to about 9:30) is unfinished and sketchy. The main ambient part begins at 9:30.

This is NOT a cover version but an original work.

It doesn’t have the characteristic piano playing throughout the entire track but only through one smaller part. However, the general atmosphere should be similar. At a few parts I put some characteristic Eminent-like strings with phasing to honor the great composer JM Jarre who is famous for this type of sound.

All samples of human speech were recorded and processed by myself.

The track might seem to get monotonous at times, but actually it does change quite a lot if you listen carefully. It can be used as the music for meditation or simply for relaxation.
