Here are the Internet sites of cultural magazines Sud-Est Cultural and Contrafort where I currently write permanent headers Brief and Trends. The archive editions are available as well: www.sud-est.md www.contrafort.mdNew Megatone album "Mulberry Forest Voyage" now released on label Krakilsk from Norway: www.krakilsk.org NEW: Megatone album "Pure Land" - a selection of the best Megatone ambient tracks, 26 tracks, 79 minutes of music - is now available on CD and can be bought directly from the artist at the price of 5 euros or 7.50 dollars, including postal shipping worldwide. To order your copy contact [email protected] INFINITY - vast symphonic harmonies combined with dense masses of digital sonic particles as made of liquid metals and precious stones, that transform in the end into a fully artificial sound of a crystalline falling rain. BLACK LOTUS - a breathtaking nighttime panorama of a megalopolis in the future. SUNSET ON CORUSCANT - the central planet of the Galactic Republic. Vast space harmonies, dub beats, the sound of wind at high altitude, the sound of starships passing by with their reactors burning. NEW - track BLUE SKIES OVER ARCADIA - cinematic neo-classical. All sounds are originally synthesized. Arcadia was a very prosperous province in Ancient Greece. Track "Blue Skies Over Arcadia" portrays a phantasmagorical celebration of a prodigious civilization in a parallel world Ancient Greece or Rome.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/25/2006
Band Website: krakilsk.org
Influences: The Shamen, Autechre, Ken Ishii, Orbital, Future Sound Of London, The Orb, Juno Reactor, Eat Static, DJ Christof/Absolum/Talamasca, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams. Film soundtracks: Dune, Blade Runner, Total Recall. Films: Star Wars, Matrix, Dune, Terminator, Total Recall, Starship Troopers, Nirvana, Existenz, 2001. A Space Odissey, Resident Evil, Strange Days, Armitage 3. Books: Frank Herbert's Dune, Rig Veda, Bhagavad Gita. Third Wave, the works of Sri Aurobindo and Vivekananda. Games: Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dune.
Sounds Like: An introspective music that tends to explore the deeper layers of reality and human spirit, expressing the concept of simultaneous coexistence of duality as the true nature of the world, and the persistence of equilibrium in extremes, thru a wide range of music from light ambient to dark industrial/noise. Main idea: The material world is an illusion. Life is just a game and this is the most serious way to be. The purpose of life is already won and can never be lost. This world has no beginning and no end, and so is the infinite and eternal spirit within us. Once found a certain proof of the true nature of our spirit, no force in the universe, nothing and noone can influence us.
Record Label: Tibprod, Simlog, Invasion Wreck Chords
Type of Label: Indie
