INORGANIC BLOSSOMING - 'Seasons Project: Autumndrones' CD (Infinite Fog Productions / Vegvisir Music / 7Hz Records)
'Autumndrones' is a name which belongs to two musicians from Siberia - Becoming and Freeall. 'Autumndrones' - can be explained as a love of autumn. They did not want to dedicate the music to this season, they wanted to write it. Therefore they music was written during the fall only, and when the first autumn passed they left the unfinished material until the next one. That is why the work took them 3 years. The whole mood of the album went through this season, even live instruments, such as violin and accordion, were recorded in fields along with the leaves' noise. The sound of nature and the human together. Mild ambient, careful noise and accidental melodies, the mix of leaves rustling, wind blowing and analogue synths singing. Ltd x 292 copies in a handmade A5 digipak.
The disc contains unique ethnographic field recordings made by Andrei Komarov (Vishudha Kali), during an expedition to the Pamirs in 2004. One of the goals of this expedition was to study the musical traditions of the Pamir highlands. Here he discovered the most outstanding poet and musician, Kurbonsho. The village in which he lived is a wild place on Vakhania (Afghan gap) with no electricity and extremely difficult access. Although local residents claimed that he was unlikely to agree to sing, Kali still managed to record his primordial folklore music, which is represented on this disc. Kurbonsho died In 2008. Beautiful lyrical melodies (sung in Devanagari) with smooth transitions and flowing vocals - the music is clear and unprepared for the European organic ear. Ltd x 700 copies in a 20-page A5 digibook.

UEDINENIYA - 'Red Meridian' CD & SVCD (Vegvisir Music)
Eight tracks of droning, isolationist, glacial ambient, resounding, crushing, static and dark as the polar night. Ghostly and almost imperceptible sound reflections in the infinite cold desert. The album was created as a soundscape for the artist's cousin, a former sailor and conqueror of the Arctic, upon discovery of 8mm film footage of his voyages on the first atomic icebreaker ship "Arktika" in the mid-20th Century. This edition contains a video of one of the first polar expeditions. Ltd x 200 hand-numbered copies in a stunning gatefold digisleeve with 2 postcards.
"Seid" is the debut album from Ritual Noise / Folk act Vazhes. In popular etymology of the Permian Komis, "vazhes" or "vazh otir" means an ancient people. The Permian Komis call "vazhes" the early population of the Upper Kama, which are supposed to have disappeared when the "new" or "wil" people of the Permian Komis arrived in these lands. The album consists of 4 lengthy tracks and is dedicated to the violent struggle between the contemporary chaotic society and the eternal natural harmony, embodied in traditional cultures. Features collaborations with Fanum and Akpan and artwork by Hærleif Langås ("Northaunt"). Includes a documentary entitled "Фирсов". Ltd x 800 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
Brilliant ritual dark ambient from this cult Russian act. Resounding, enveloping sounds for rituals and meditation... corrosive mechanical echoes of human misery. Two hypnotic, chthonic rituals... embodiments of monolithic darkness... created with many percussive instruments, bells and gongs, without using any electrical devices. This will certainly appeal to fans of Lustmord, Nordvargr and Karna. Ltd x 500 copies.

Vresnit is solo project of the man behind the Kerpg label. A vibrating flow of crudely woven Shamanic Drone Ambient atmospheres. "Tunvet" appears as a primitive experience for co-breathing with Earth, diving into the twilight forest and flowing into its beyond. Slow and endless movement in a Circle that appears as Eternal Order. A Myth of the World-Man Creation, a dreamflight, a meeting with the Forest Spirits preying on the flesh and substituting it with metal and stones, giving life to the Ancient Co-knowledge. Created using field recordings, voices and woodwinds, metal gongs, percussion and "concrete" sounds. Gripping, saturating and transforming experience of raw wind, celestial chariots and chthonic naturalism. Ltd x 484 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
