about

In this album and project I am using raw post-industrial sounds in a minimalistic and ascetic way. Minimalism as Asceticism. Asceticism as Minimalism.

I employ the concept 'Apocalypse' not so much in the sense of destruction, but in its original religious way, that is: the death of the mundane world/self so that being reborn into the essential world/self. A process in which ascetic and minimalistic means are involved.

Non of the tracks are conclusive, they all are in solemn expectation, a sort of apocalyptic contemplation. The whole album elapses almost with the same tone and the same beats, developing severely in mantric suspense, leaving out all things unnecessary, and invoking all things essential through meditative noise.
