I am unsure were my ideas come from usually. I do have a creative mind once I get a spark that kick starts the process. In the case of this album, I was experimenting with ideas for a dramatic opening that had a strong cinematic feel. This then became the opening track “Birth of aContinue readingBorn from the Stars (2023)

Stages (2022)
Inspired by Bill Plotkin‘s book Nature And The Human Soul. A beautiful album from the Thaneco & DASK entourage orbiting vivid worlds of synthesizers and ambient music. An impressive incarnation of inseparable depth and sonic wisdom. Rodrigo Passannanti EM enthusiasts have two reasons to rejoice with the arrival of this STAGES. First of all it’sContinue readingStages (2022)
Closing of Time (2022)
Soon we will be Home. These piano and string based tracks were composed after the loss of Mam and Dad. My father passed in 2012 and I started a few tracks the years after. My mother passed in 2019 after an operation for an heart valve replacement. I completed the album in 2020. An introspectiveContinue readingClosing of Time (2022)
We are the Lower Lights (2021)
Walking in the footsteps of Winter Stone, but with a little more vitality in the inspiration, this WE ARE THE LOWER LIGHTS from DASK also proposes a beautiful rhythmic vision, as well as harmonic, which gives a second breath to our imagination. It remains in the domain of Dark Ambient with a little something moreContinue readingWe are the Lower Lights (2021)
Electron Hell (2021)
Inspired by the TV series HBO Chernobyl and the events of that time. This album is the follow-up to Electron Utopia (2017) and closes the circle on this concept. Vibrating and resonant rhythms of a heaviness to make tremble the eardrums, if not the walls of our living room, ELECTRON HELL carries quite well theContinue readingElectron Hell (2021)
Winter Stone (2021)
Recorded in one session on a winter evening. Track 4 is the full session without breaks. Tracks 1 – 3 is the same session but broken down into 3 separate works at key stages during the mastering stage. This album came about by accident. I was experimenting with sounds and ideas on a cold winterContinue readingWinter Stone (2021)
Hope of the Sleeper (2020)
This album I wrote a few years ago with the original idea being a soundtrack for a fictional dystopian movie or character. After it was finished I became aware that it is really about the start of an awakening process. We travel through life mostly asleep or not in a truly awakened state. There areContinue readingHope of the Sleeper (2020)
Cascade Event (2020)
Having spent sometime listening to the many drone and dark ambient style artists released on the Cryo Chamber label I wanted to do something similar but not be completely dark ambient. Hence the core of this album is built on progressive long-form ambient choral style soundscapes that shift between dark and light with touches ofContinue readingCascade Event (2020)
Insecta (2019)
This album hides some real jewels of true Berlin School style which prove that DASK was resolutely one of the beautiful finds of 2017”. So, I listened again to this new INSECTA, Arthropod and Insecta are still so intense, to finally choose this version that better meets the idea of concept behind the vision ofContinue readingInsecta (2019)
Oneira (2019)
“Oneira literally sticks to the visions of its authors and is addressing to fans of experimental ambient music”. This second collaboration between DASK and Thanasis Oikonomopoulos takes us away from the Elemental‘s ambiances with 4 long titles which let freedom to ambient structures which stick to the reality of each title. Structures modulated on theContinue readingOneira (2019)
