The instrumentals and conceptual background are approached and elaborated by Philippe Blache while the sound lyricist Agne Srebaliute takes over the vocal parts. \u00abAs my spirit wanders free \u00bb is a meticulously blended release which gives a large space to contemplative tones, to poignant melodic phrases and to a thick cloud of emotional meandering textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message behind the album explores existential themes such as soul stirring fragility, blurred-fractured memories and the mystical nature world. \u00abAs my spirit wanders free\u00bb is a vast, sensient and windy atmospheric opus that directly takes on the emotions of the listener. This album marks the 10 years anniversary of the project. This special edition is accompanied by the unique photographic work of Natalie Ina that matches the musical signature in terms of sheer emotional intensity and stylistic landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day Before Us is an emotional, ethereal and dark ambient music project formed in 2011 by the piano trained player and composer Philippe Blache. Full length releases have been published by Rage in Eden, Twilight Records, OPN and GH Records. A palette of immersive electronic textures, slowly moving melancholic piano airs, industrial noises, lyrical themes, neoclassical arrangements and discreet experimentations characterize the compositional process and the stylistic inclination. Creative strength of the project comes from reflections on timelessness, memories of a bygone era, romantic spleen and spiritual narratives. Day Before Us occasionally gives live performances and works in the context of intermedia collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>credits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Philippe Blache (concept, instruments)<br>\u2192 Agne Srebaliute (vocals)<br>\u2192 Natalie Ina (photographies\/video)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Day Before Us \u2013 As My Spirit Wanders Free (teaser)\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SvYfE_przH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Day Before Us_As my spirit wanders free by Day Before Us\" width=\"960\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1268213542&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=960\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/seller\/gradual\/profile\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs-1024x128.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs-500x63.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs-1140x143.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Buy_It_Discogs.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2bd73c29-4391-2e5e-f88a-34d827f7301c-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"808\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10484\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87.jpeg 808w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gradualhate.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/3e92e2c5-562f-77b8-ead6-198fc0081b87-75x75.jpeg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Special edition made only for the Pre-Order.
