Closing the Eternity - Northern Lights Ambience


Drone Records DR-78

The new batch of releases on the German Drone Records - which always come in three's - holds this time a Siberian project under the name 'Closing the Eternity'. With their 'Northern Lights Ambience' in two parts they explore the sonic beauty which is the aurora borealis. Deep layers of pads and reverbs form the basics on side a. Accompanied by intense high pitched noises and beautifully balanced static crackling it might remind the listener to some works of NeX - who also is from the former USSR, albeit from the complete opposite side.

Soundwise the two sides are very clearly connected, but in atmosphere there are subtle differences. While the first side breathes a much more descriptional atmosphere of the northern light, the reverse side is much more intrusive and feels like you're watching the northern lights - maybe even feeling guilty of observing the beauty that is aurora borealis.

Marbled blue transparant vinyl.
