    “Le bleu est la couleur des lieux extrêmes et des degrés derniers, qui sont fermés à la vie – brouillards s’évanouissant dans l’absence, pointe des glaciers, centre des flammes qui se tardent. Il se mêle aussi aux ombres, aux crépuscules, aux lignes lointaines de l’horizon. Il vient à ce qui repose et nie ce qui s’agite. La couleur bleue possède sur le cœur une influence salutaire.” (Ernst Jünger, Le cœur aventureux / Das abenteuerliche Herz, 1929)

    Vladimír Hirsch ‎– Scripta Soli
    Label: Old Captain ‎– OCCD33
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Digipak

    Label Country: Ukraine
    Released: 2017
    Genre: Electronic
    Style: Modern Classical, Industrial, Dark Ambient, Ambient, Experimental

    Scripta Soli (“The writings of the earth”) is a thematic contemplation triggered by a great Czech artist in the form of a fictive experience during an apocalyptic war catastrophe, perceived by a person imprisoned in the bunker. Epically dramatized, it consists of 12 figurative parts to strip moral vacuum accumulated by memories, fears, visions and expectations of the inevitable, like echoes from the devastated core, sonically interpreted by the ground and aborted on the surface. Vladimir Hirsch offers expressionist sharpness and contrast to gouge out the focal sound from the background cacophonous substance to evoke stark and haunting imagery behind. Proving his expertise and repertoire he renders field recordings, electroacoustic and digital techniques through his typical metamorphic musicalization of primarily non-musical elements realizing the shrill, dynamic realities of the inner conflict: the titular sonic earth eventually turns into a grave.
