The new mix from Peter Van Cooten (Ambientblog) features a track from Obscura OST!
Stream/Download: Incidental Memories (Mix/Tracklist)
Ambientblog: If one of the criteria for 'ambient' music is that you can comfortably fall asleep to it, I guess you'd better skip this particular mix. Although it starts quiet and reassuring with soothing vocal chords from Silvestrov's "The Lord's Prayer", the mood disintegrates and sometimes can become rather unsettling - depending on your own personal 'incidental memories', of course.
For reasons I can't really explain, this mix works better if you listen on speakers instead of headphones - just let the airwaves flow for maximum immersion.
This mix was 'premiered' on Bob Rusche's X-Ray radio-show (Concertzender, Holland) on January 26, 2013. Thanks, Bob!
"Mister Ambientblog himself is doing it again: making an utterly brilliant mix with the sheer beauty containing a wide variety of partly ambient and partly neo-classical sounds. Right from the sacral start with Ben Lucas Boysen and Valentin Silvestrov you will be guided through the chilling soundscapes until you reach the end with the stunning Guy Birkin track. Take this journey and you will never forget the Incidental Memories." Bob Rusche, X-Ray

IndieRockMag: Obscura (OST)
Avant dâaborder ce nouvel opus dâAdrian AnioĆ, bande originale dâune piĂšce de théùtre horrifique de Dorota Rus, rappelez-vous dâabord dâArrhythmia lâan dernier chez TQA Records, des sursauts et des coups au cĆur en lâĂ©coutant seul, trĂšs fort, dans le noir, de ces apparitions Ă la pĂ©riphĂ©rie des yeux qui vous font encore frissonner rien quâen y repensant. Et si le jeu vous semble malgrĂ© tout en valoir le candĂ©labre, ou si vous avez la chance de ne dĂ©couvrir quâaujourdâhui lâunivers fantasmagorique et dissonant du Polonais, pĂ©nĂ©trez avec nous le manteau dâombre de cet Obscura et laissez la terreur sâimmiscer.
Il lui faudra quelques minutes pour vous trouver, le temps de cette mise en place durant laquelle les morceaux ne sont pas encore tout Ă fait assez immersifs pour vous prendre Ă la gorge et distiller Ă mĂȘme la chair leur funeste malaise. Mais bien vite Obscura se dĂ©tache de son mĂ©dium scĂ©nique, comme habitĂ© dâune prĂ©sence propre qui vise Ă la prise de contrĂŽle progressive de vos sens et qui, Ă©videmment, ne vous veut pas du bien. Il est question dâapparitions et de dĂ©liquescence, de silence et, forcĂ©ment, dâobscuritĂ©, de passages vers lâau-delĂ et de fatalitĂ©, de fĂȘlures et de perturbations du rĂ©el par quelque esprit malin. Les cordes crissent, grouillent et sâemportent sur fond dâĂ©manations ectoplasmiques, de bruitisme insidieux et de grincements du bois, quelque part entre le dark ambient post-classique cher au label Miasmah, les discordances nĂ©vrotiques de Penderecki et un sound design Ă©purĂ© mais flippant dont lâĂ©conomie de moyens sâest malheureusement perdue depuis longtemps dans le cinĂ©ma dâhorreur.
Un condensĂ© de peur dont les images, en somme nâappartiennent quâĂ vous, stimulation de lâinconscient qui rend lâexpĂ©rience dâautant plus terrifiante.

Bottle-Imp: Obscura (OST)
âObscuraâ is an original score composed by Adrian Aniol for a theatre production. This must have been a frightening production as the music is utterly dark, tense and horrifying. This music is scary in the same way the Penderecki compositions used in Stanley Kubrickâs âThe Shiningâ is scary. Its completely suspenseful, and keeps you moving frame-by-frame, wondering what hides behind the next corner, or under the bed. Aniol is no stranger to dark compositions, but this one turns the darkness up to eleven. This is certainly worth the $5 USD it costs to download from his Bandcamp. And while youâre there, listen to his other works as they are all similarly wonderful.

EtherREAL Mag: Arrhythmia (OST)
Adrian AnioĆ est un jeune artiste polonais qui sortait son premier album Ă lâautomne 2011 sur le label Utech Records (Locrian, Daniel Menche, Lasse Marhaug, Nadja, etc...). Quelques mois plus tard, il signait donc chez Thisquietarmy Records, le label dâEric Quach. Comme lâindique le titre, Arrhythmia OST est la bande son dâun film indĂ©pendant de 38mn rĂ©alisĂ© par James Hartley, dĂ©cĂ©dĂ© en 2011 Ă lâĂąge de 30 ans.
On ne sait absolument rien de ce film, du sujet traitĂ©, mais on peut avoir une petite idĂ©e du style de musique dĂ©veloppĂ© sur cet album en le voyant sortir chez Thisquietarmy Records, un label oscillant entre ambient, drone et post-rock, avec ici en plus une composante cinĂ©matographique qui se prĂȘte assez bien Ă ces styles musicaux. Pas de dĂ©ception avec The Opening qui ouvre donc le disque sur une ambient glacĂ©e, sombre et cristalline, qui nâest pas sans nous rappeler le Prophecy Theme que composa Brian Eno pour le Dune de David Lynch. Mais on change assez vite dâambiance puisque le polonais revient aux codes habituels des musiques dark ambient, incorporant des Ă©lĂ©ments issus des musiques industrielles. Ainsi les drones mĂ©talliques de Informis Pravitas se voient parsemĂ©s de coups sourds, rĂ©sonances et grincements inquiĂ©tants, projetant lâauditeur dans les Ă©gouts dâune citĂ© futuristes. Une sirĂšne gronde au loin, flirtant avec des violoncelles dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©s (Lament) et des fantĂŽmes continuent Ă nous poursuivent dans cet univers moite et abandonnĂ©.
Si lâensemble est bien fait, on pourra toutefois regretter que lâartiste reste trop frĂ©quemment dans un registre dark-ambient riche en clichĂ©s, Ă grands renforts dâĂ©coulements dâeau, barres de mĂ©tal et rires malsains, alors que le travail sur les drones et frĂ©tillements de cordes suffit Ă rendre la musique du Polonais habitĂ©e. On prĂ©fĂšrera donc lâĂ©pure dâune ambient moins connotĂ©e, plus abstraite et minimale, dont la beautĂ© nous parait plus mystĂ©rieuse. Ainsi la deuxiĂšme partie de lâalbum gagne en force avec des piĂšces telles que The Permanence, le magnifique In Black Twilights, les flottements infinis de Slowly Downward ou encore les denses drones du caudal The Closing.
Une trĂšs belle bande originale qui vit trĂšs bien sans les images, un album qui ravira les amateurs dâatmosphĂšres dĂ©rangĂ©es et de drones mĂ©lodiques. (Rate 7/8)
