Artwork: Michael Plater

“Untamed music, primordial sounds, simulacra of the distant past…chilling synthesizer tracks. Asynchronous dissonances produce a ghostly lullaby that echoes in the garden of the child who went with the fairies ("The Child That Went with the Fairies"), while in the house at the end of the avenue the tolling of the pendulum marks the hour of the symposium of ghosts ("Where Ghosts Gather")

Before the dawn conquers the darkness there is time for one last dance ("The Dance of the Mermaids"), moving uncertain steps in time to an icy melody…The unknown darkness is all around us, inside us and the light beyond the forest can be reached by traveling an impervious past that cuts through inscrutable abysses, in an infinity that lasts only ten minutes.

Yes, this ep does not go beyond ten minutes, but the experimental soundscapes (as the author himself defines) inherent in it create temporal windows wide open towards infinity. All Plater's works seem to hide a secret, a dark enigma that materializes with every listening.” (Grimorivm, Debaser)
