FJERNLYS - 'Ascending Triads & Luminous Arcs’ 2 x CD (Loki Foundation)
Behind this project hides one of Inade's masterminds - Knut Enderlein. On this first disc, the songs layer cosmic and synthetic sounds and go on tracing according to the principle harmony in the music, their acoustic space feeling very expansive. The voices creep crosswise into sounds and effects to lunar spheres and solar places. The five remixes and interpretations of ANTLERS MULM, BAD SECTOR, FIRST LAW and LOVESPELL on the second disc support the complex character of the whole release and expand the into a new style of Ambient songs. More 'song' based than Inade, Fjernlys reminds of fellow Loki act Predominance. Presented in a double jewel case with a very nice slipcase to finish.

Side-project of Loki Foundation act PREDOMINANCE. "The main intention of Virologic is the creation of sounds out of computer data. Different types of computer files have been cracked in a sampling software that transforms any kind of files into raw sound. It is possible to analyse the different structures of any type of data as a potential source visible as graphic waveform. ... With implicit aesthetics of failure the structure of the original file is destroyed to its core and reflecting the meta-phorical bug on its way through the hard drive." The result is a well structured composition made out of pulsating rhythms, multi-layered sounds and quartered sonics. Ltd x 500.
