Human life is like a big construction process. Born one day, a man grows up and starts his own building using human relations as bricks. Sooner or later a man falls in love and it helps him make his building strong and lasting. Sooner or later this building will collapse as a love will go to ruin.
"Ruins Of Love" is a story about such building. Mechanic noises and industrial beats are in the first part of the work where the construction is going on. Feelings of loneliness and desolation reign in the second part. After collapse, everything stagnates and waits for the first signs of new construction cycle starting. So now here only abstract field recordings rarely break static and minimal ambient soundscapes.

"Dark Soil" is a brief story for someone who lay between life and death. That short way for a man who is about to leave this world for a long time.

"Dark Soil", a number of dark and cold tracks in which looped short fragments of ambient canvases combine in weird atmosphere of anxiuos waiting somewhere on the edge of consciousness. Somewhere in dark closed world, out of time, out of human perception. In a place where everyone is waiting and can't hope for anything.
