drone

maw

Dmitriy Chistov is likely to be one of the most prolific post-industrial artists specializing in various ambient music in Russia. Hum and maw are closer to drone ambient, Sphogha and Nigredo - to noise ambient. Mikosterion is a one-off project dedicated to an ideal trip after the consumption of certain mushrooms. There are three distinctive features of all of his projects: 1) no digitally produced sounds, only analog ones; 2) very strong, tenacious atmosphere (no, not in the “catchy” sense); 3) classy packages.

Anonymeye

Anonymeye is the nom de plume of Andrew Tuttle from Brisbane, Australia. Tuttle’s work as Anonymeye reconfigures various organic and mechanic musics within a sonic framework akin to an abstract musical Esperanto. Utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, and effects units, Anonymeye straddles and blurs boundaries between improvisation and composition, experimentation and song-form, rural landscapes and urban constructions and melody and dissonance.

Ghostly

Ghostly is an extreme drone/industrial metal project led by Deaemae. The project is drum machine driven band that relies on repetative guitar riffs or droning noise with usually deep death metal-style grunts to high pitch black metal screeches. The project has a primitive sound that Deaemae purposely tries achieving to create a "dark atmosphere." Initially, the project started off as a project that would play pure death metal with doom metal touches. Eventually, the project took a change incorporating more industrial tones to the music than actual death metal.

Pekko Kappi

"Hello and welcome!
I, Pekko, am a player of Jouhikko – the ancient Finnish-Karelian bowed lyre. My music has been described like this: "In his hands the rough sound of weaved horsehair strings are swaying between the foul and lovely – dirty and pure. The old songs of unwritten tradition, timeless and dark stories mediates in his mouth."
I got involved with the Jouhikko in 1997 in the Ala-K
