This release presents the first part of collaborating materials recorded by Nikolay Kalmykov (Hladna) and Sergey Ilchuk (Vresnit) in a remote
Jarogora village in January 2010. Winter woods of Vepsky Park, ...disturbing pulsation of the earth and majestic meditative canvas. Handbells summons the frozen spirits, the snow crunching underfoot breaks off by sharp technogenic crunches, twilight goes down, the frost grows stronger and then all calms down. At a dawn fairytale maids sing solar lullabies, and boundless birds spin heavenly open spaces. Space drone equipment, flutes, jaw's harp, field taperecordings, -the nature and technology have merged here in three dense Drone Noise Ambient shamanic rituals where kind covers of Vresnit's chtonic naturalism and weird psychedelic hide a lump of severe urbanistic existentialism which is indispensable for Hladna's works. Design presented by full-color six-panel envelope from Vresnit Art.

tarpertry inspired by natural symbolism. Dancing trees, singing birds chtonic beasts following the everturning wheel of

percussion and distant, beckoning voices. Strange rythm goes through numerious shimmering acoustic surfaces - curved
branches and veined leaves intervowen. "Soar like a bird!" - whisper They to dreamy traveller, passing through woods
and careless swimmer, diving into unknown. Wind raises the eyes and hands of the wanderer, harsh blizzards crave his
hands with the letters of everlasting Knowledge and names of every living thing... Reviewers compare this record with
early albums of Lunar Abyss Quartet - "Ferrous water", "Cosmolagamma" and the films of Ingmar Bergman -
"Seventh seal" and "Virgin Spring". Triple brown cardboard package, 4 cards.
