Invisible nightmares

Internet is the gate to a new digital world of no limits. An ocean of information, where the main challenge is not to perish, not to get lost in this flow of impulses.
Right now I am struggeling. Sounds of never-heared deepness are sourrounding my soul and its fleshly shell. 2,42 MB, 6:03 Minutes. Not able to be touched. Invisible, unreal but amazingly beautiful and affecting.

The track I am refering to is called "The sweet hereafter" by a swedish ambient-project called Disiderii Marginis. Its a quite, cheerless and highly thrilling piece of audio-art. A journy through gloomy landscapes as well as noizy industrial facilities. So unreal that it makes me doubt about everything that we may call "the earthly dogmas". Its a musical embrace I am not able to reject although not only love and endearment are waiting for me.

In the foreground we have a piano with an unbelievable mournful meldoy, representing the leitmotiv. At the same time an alien screechy tone disturbs the ruminant mood. You have to stand the noise if you want to reach the beauty.
It seems like the sounds have a life of their own. It seems that these unequal tones are aiming at a higher form of harmony (In this context one my think about the chinese concept of Yin and Yang). After some time you start to realize this ambition. You start to accept the timeless and wonderful piano as well as the deathlike, cold and frightening industrial-sound. The dance of both is surrounded by a speheric, unobstrusive keyboard making you believe to be prepared for death.

I haven't been so deeply moved by music since I have listened the first time to Elends "The Umbersun". Maybe I should not travel too far, but otherwise these thoughts are needless as I know I have to. Moving straight to a new nightmare, pressing the flesh of the invisible hand called Disiderii Marginis.

Thank you Johan Levin.
