This latin term refers to this special mental “no-being” state characterised by a complete suspension of intelectual activities ; then, transported out of yourself.

Adorned path of Stillness » marks the return of the neoclassical and dark ambient music act Day Before Us on the Argentina based label Twilight Records, in collaboration with GH Records. This is their sixth full length release. This new effort is an enthralling soundtrack for dark, solemn, thoughtful times. It incorporates acoustic and lyrical sections next to electronic textures and diverse processed sounds.
The general atmosphere offers precious moments of introspective melancholia punctuated by mysteriously hypnotic instrumentals. This is a multifaceted album but also remarkably cohesive with many dynamics, emotional movements that will ravish fans of haunting and touching cinematic music in a rather classical mood.
Day Before Us is an ethereal, neoclassical and dark ambient music project formed (in 2010) by the
anthropologist and sound producer Philippe Blache, joined in 2015 by the
Russian based singer, lyricist and poetical writer Natalya Romashina. Physical
albums are signed and distributed by Rage in Eden, Twilight Records, OPN
records, GH Records…The project occasionally gives live performances, writes
scores to international art events and participates to intermedia
collaborations. In itself the music presents dense, solemn, melancholic and
profundly emotional soundscapes in touch with the mysterious ineffable beauty
of the nature, depicting with nuances the vastitude of the inner worlds. Main
sources of inspiration come from the antique and the romantical poetry,
symbolical seneries, mystical love, spiritual journey…
