    Philippe Blache – Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis

    marzo 13, 2025

    Philippe Blache – Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis
    Label: CONJVRE THE CIRCLE – CTC19
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: USA & Europe
    Released: Sep 19, 2024
    Style: Experimental, Dark Ambient, Darkwave

    Composed, recorded and arranged by Philippe Blache (alias « Day Before Us ») in Dole, from early to July 2024.

    «Tristitiam et metus tradam portare ventis» (I will give the sadness and fear to the winds) is a straightforward emotional journey based on brooding, lush, meditative and evanescent piano lines then moody-esque and tense cinematic atmospheres for sweeping electronic textures.
    Hints of noisy harshness comes out as grey clouds where graceful elegiac tones are trying to escape from. Philippe Blache is a sound artist and a cultural anthropologist found of electro acoustic research with an approach in ethno-musicology, in dark literary romanticism and in mystical spiritualism. He is the founder of the ethereal-neoclassical dark ambient project «Day Before Us», active since 2011. «Tristitiam et metus tradam portare ventis» is his third soloing effort. Recommended for those who enjoy tempestuous, epic and emotional vastness with a gothic-tinged accent and a devotional melodious catharsis.

    Edited By – Jared Nokturne
    Mastered By – Giuseppe Verticchio
    Narrator – Maria Labuena, Pauline Poirel

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Égrégore

    febrero 6, 2025

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Égrégore
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR271CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 14 Jun 2019
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental

    Égrégore is a ritual collaboration between B.S.s. (Common Eider, King Eider) and Arexis (La Breiche, Coume Ouarnede, Stille Volk)… and all of the spirits of the Pyrenees present during those Dark Moon Rituals, wishing to speak.

    Born under May’s New Dark Moon in 2018, born in secrecy, in darkness, in Ritual. Born in a tiny cabin in the Pyrenees of France… Rituals documented late into the night and early morning hours. Voices captured whispering, wailing, lashing out. Bells ring to both banish and invoke. Recorded live using electronics, rocks, antler, branches and voice. Four offerings given as gifts to the black air… the burnt soil… Gifts to the Spirits living in those forests and mountains of the Pyrenees. Dark moon folk magic…

    Housed in a beautiful matte-laminate gatefold ecopak, with visuals prepared by Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen).
