[Eg0_075] gexijs : horizon

Gexijs is a one-man band from USA. Horizon is his first album. A catchy blend of ambient & post-rock (?) influences. You really need to listen to the whole album to enjoy the subtility of these tracks.

Description by the artist : “Horizon is an album which was composed back in 2007, in an effort to create unconventional music using conventional instruments. The tracks were actually first written as a set of two EPs that were cohesive enough be included on the same release.
Thanks to my good friend Robert Smith for coming up with the concept to track 7, Deus Vult.”

[Eg0_074] Ed End & TTWOSS : The Raven

The Raven is a multimedia collaboration of Ed End (video, featuring Damaris Baker as Lenore) and Thanato Twist With Oleg’s Sound System (music) using Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem read by Basil Rathbone. This amazing work is as weird as catchy, as hypnotic as unpredictable.

[Eg0_072] Massimo Brazzini : Eskhaton

In Eskhaton, multimedia artist Massimo Brazzini explores what can hide under the surface of “normal” sounds. His experiments result in rather (dark) ambient oriented soundscapes, with some rough edges – and surprises… Massimo has also created the artwork of this album, from one of his own paintings, called “natura morta”

[Eg0_071] Gutterhulk – Path of Ascension (EP)

Path of Ascension is a follow-up to the acclaimed Great Stewardship, an imaginary soundtrack by Gutterhulk.
“Path of Ascension” picks up where “Great Stewardship” left off, this time focusing on soundscapes rather than story-telling. This album is a small collection of enchanting ritual ambient pieces that continue the story told in “Great Stewardship” and which should please all dark ambient and video game enthusiasts, especially those of the Thief franchise.

We don’t know who Gutterhulk is, we have just been told he is a member of the Nakrikal Records team.

Artwork was created by Eddi van W.
