Prelest is the archived output of an installation conceived for, and performed at 2018's Hillscene Live festival in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, accompanied by compositions from the artists as individuals which, through no direct involvement, communicate similar themes. Part 1-2 [Side A] comprises the Prelest recordings, for which a strict set of conditions were established: all material should be generated in real-time; the visual element was to be constructed in direct response to the aural component; attention should be directed towards building hypnotic aural/visual stimulus emulating the mystical experience of visionary states. Part 3-4 [Side B] is a collection of recordings made by Clouds Above Chaos in their respective studios for their own edification and the exploration of their own mental processes. The artistic intent of the release is to bring into question the validity of using modern methods of signal generation to induce hypnotic and mystical states of consciousness, and whether exploiting the human brains' tendency towards pareidolia and responding to sensory overload by entering into trance is a useful spiritual tool, or if it only leads to a state of spiritual delusion- the definition of Prelest itself. The listener is invited to temporarily suspend their state of external distraction and listen to the output of these experiments at a volume level just below discomfort, in a state of either visual overstimulation by way of computer-generated geometric visualisations, or having deprived their visual senses entirely by way of sitting in a completely dark room or otherwise diminishing the visual faculty for the duration of the performance. As an extension of the exercise, utilising a method of focus on the breath is also recommended for the duration in order to further align the experiment with the desired field of subjective inquiry.
The first single from an upcoming body of work, Dreamlike explores a nostalgic and hopeful space in a world of dark and dystopian torrents. The official visualizer for this track, released on YouTube, was also created by vector dust as a first foray into motion graphics.
You didn't actually think we would celebrate ECHØVEIL's very first anniversary without an exclusive, freshly conjured offering from my ever-faithful and immensely talented accomplice Substak, did you? Perish the thought, ladies and gentlemen! "Particulate Flow" is Substak at his most granular and abstract. The Greek sound artist in his most primordial incarnation. An insoluble matrix of resonances; a plunge into the interstellar void, sublimated by sensory modulations that will deliciously set every one of your senses adrift. Minimalist oscillations, with an underlying swamp-like drone, a kind of foundational stratum bearing the weight of these sonic effusions. The sort of extended piece that bridges worlds; that beckons towards ecstasy. But a strange, ambivalent form of ecstasy, suspended somewhere between utter surrender and incomprehension.... A place where one loses oneself, never quite to return unscathed. Beautiful. Essential. -Sir Kuliktavikt

"Bassist Devin Sarno creates a spacious sound on Flowers on the Ocean, surrounding the instrument with field recordings and close mikings. The listener leans in to catch every nuance." ~ A Closer Listen
Astrea is the first major release and debut album from Vector Dust, a cinematic electronica music project from a North Carolina based producer. The eight track long concept album was written through the winter of 2025/2026 and released on the 2026 summer solstice. This album was originally conceived as a score for a science fiction film that doesn't exist: a voyage to a foreboding ice giant in the far reaches of an alternate-universe solar system. Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll (NY), this collection of tracks build and dissolve tension across the arc of the journey, and end in foreboding ambiguity.
Experiments with minimal phasing loops. Third anniversary, so seemed like some free codes might be nice.
a collection of longform tracks written and released between july 16 and october 21, 2026 https://desolatehorizons.bandcamp.com/album/long-forms-iii
Pulsating industrial drones overlayed with harsh, slowly manipulated textures. A dark, atmospheric work based on a process of loosing religious beliefs in confrontation with unforgiving, worldly reality. One of the absolute highlights of the early Gates of Hypnos period.
17 track DELUXE EDITION new release. Navigations without a map — moving through spaces you can feel but can't name. Long-form drones stretch and erode like tides against unmarked shorelines; shorter pieces surface as techno skeletons wrapped in ambient fog, where pulse and texture trade places. Cold on the surface, warm underneath. Precise in its construction, deliberately unresolved in its arrival. Music for the hours between destinations. The coordinates are unseen — the direction is yours.
Substak - Primordial Chaos Before light,was only the void. linktr.ee/Substak Cover by Emil Widlund
THIS KIND FUTURE IS FAR FROM INEVITABLE AND SO TOO IS THE CRUELTY OF PRESENT THERE IS NO GOLDEN PAST TO RETURN TO, ONLY A FUTURE TO WORK TOWARDS YOU ARE AN ANIMAL TOO, HUMAN. THERE ARE SENSES YOU HAVE NOT DARED EMBRACE START FUCKING DIGGING This album is presented as a single, continuous piece but is nevertheless composed of multiple, named movements. It was recorded as a whole, with each part played and tracked live at its full length, through stubbornness and selfish desire to create, and with full intention to be heard. These sounds make me feel something. I hope you feel things too.
There is no treatment for whirling disease. Whirling disease is not a health risk for humans or pets. Diagnosing whirling disease requires laboratory testing. People can spread whirling disease. Whirling disease can cause death. Dark ambient, drone, and harsh noise soundscapes to hyper-stimulate and immobilize. ADHD sucks ass. Your body gets jammed in neutral while your brain pins the accelerator until you either run out of gas, or something breaks and you come screeching to a stop even though you haven't left a small corner of the couch, curled up half-upside down for the last 17 hours. Or three days. This is what it's like to feel yourself falling to pieces, to know something is breaking, to being completely unable to stop it from happening, and having to still do the fucking laundry when it's all over.
