The ants gathered around the mouth of a derelict window frame, screaming it wrenched away, taking half the wall and an unprepared piano down the river. Nearby, drunk on vermilion wine, a tribe of distant voices were microtonally convulsing as they drowned in the electricity of their sonic decay. In search of their hosts, the orphaned sounds were exiled on the edge of a mind manifesting scrapyard, with stray memories howling at the gates and weathered inklings sharpening their visionary debris.
Epoch Collapse is an experimental electronic & electro-acoustic music & audio-visual/multi-media project of composer Dariusz Roberte. Have performed live to silent film using tape collages, one of which was "Aelita: Queen of Mars". More recently, one work "Dark Ascension" was included on the Singing Bridges CD "Vibrations: Variations". Currently working on 'Unprepared Piano' - one of many projects.
