Ab Intra is the Latin phrase for "on the inside". The term is quite appropriately connected with the project's music. The man behind it, Radoslaw Kaminski, claims that he seeks connection with his inner side by exploring the musical territories. Ab Intra is an illustration of the pictures that are created in the mind of the author. However, the form used enables the listeners to interpret the sounds in their own way. Listeners may remember their debut album 'Demiurgia' on War Office Propaganda (2006). Dark Ambient for fans of Inade, Raison d'Etre / Necrophorus, Herbst9, First Law or Endvra. Digipak.

AB INTRA - 'Supremus' CD (Zoharum)
"Supremus" is almost an hour of music placed in the widely-understood dark ambient genre. The album reflects a much more mature image of the artist who consciously creates a world of his own sound and vision. The idea behind the album is the trial of creating an inner feeling, or impression, which is superior to others (Supremus comes from Latin and it means the highest, definite, dominant), which is in fact the effect of tuning one's mind and stepping outside the conditioned structures. It is a trial of placing consciousness in the sphere of pure sensations where the word becomes dominated by the sound, surrounded by the feeling, and the symbol and vision become the carrier of new meanings. 6-panel digipak.

It happened to me. I was looking for a source to figure myself out. I decided to check myself into a clinic for people who are addicted to drugs and have psychological problems. This wasn’t easy for me, as the state of my existence throws shadow. Everything was binding me. I talked to my doctor about needing electronic equipment to make samples and music. Basically I was lonely but I knew I could record some unconventional sound. I made samples of everything in my cell: metal bed, sink, plates, A/C, wood floor, guards… everything that surrounded me. When I got out, I had a picture of what I would do with the recordings. In my recording studio in Lindenhurst, Long Island, I joined together all the sounds plus analogues to create esoteric and unique music." 6-panel digipak.

Dark Ambient / Neoclassical music from Poland. The focal point of this album is the condition of mankind entangled in the cycle of creation, stagnation and destruction. Creation is an idealistic picture, it dwells in an idea of fiat lux et facta est lux. It is a blueprint for the musical narrative that is comprised of unrestricted admiration of life, of order that is mankind’s objective, and ultimately of conflict which is the most inherent human condition. The ubiquitous illusion is an all-encompassing device that folds these non-recordable events into a cycle. The latest release of IVL is an effect of thoughtful construction. Perpetua is an unconventional harmonious image which draws also from beyond of the repertoire typically associated with the instrumentarium characteristic of its genre. 6-panel digipak with 4 artcards.

A form of message sent from the Earth to the brightest star, composed of 20 exclusive tracks prepared especially for this compilation. Sirius is the canine planet, the brightest star of the northern sky. Known since the ancient times, it has left an imprint on forming outlooks, beliefs, religious centres in many cultures. Even the ancient Egyptians worshipped Sirius as a deity, built their calendar on Sirius' cycle closely connected to the Nile tides before the summer solstice. In the 20th century the interest in the magical aspect of Sirius did not die out. Thanks to the Discordian groups with R.A. Wilson (the great philosopher to whom the compilation is dedicated) and T. Leary at the head, it is still being revived. The music on the album oscillates between psychedelic drone, dark ambient, tribal and down-tempo. Some of the projects approach the theme in the vein of ritualistic music; others realise their ideas through the sounds of universe and deep dark infinite space.
