The third and the most complete release by one of the most
tallented ambient artists hailing from Poland these days. Unifying vast
array of elements, Per Aspera once again achieves remarkably introvert
but vibrant style. Eerie industrial atmosphere seamlessly blends with serene
harmonies of almost orchestral form.
Cinematic, monstrous drone
formations morph into pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and
uncompromised sonic experiments, overlaid by subtle beauty of human
voice and minimalist acoustic instrumentation.All those skillfull, multiformal explorations establish “Nil desperandum” one of those albums of complex yet stable musical concept – reflecting the incoherencies of human nature and its immanent affection to chaos and order merged together. Per Aspera tends to render tragically compound heritage of the mankind, being contantly shaped by cultural, ethnic and religious or ideologic discrepancies.
Definitely not your average dark-ambient buzz, this album stands out of the dull cliche. The sound may appeal to the admirers of T. Köner, Parca Pace, Nocturnal Emissions or Neubautens to name a few but still, expect no pattern follower. Complemented with special A5-sized glossy digipak designed by Ibsen studio, this CD is limited to 500 copies only.
