Full Description

Before Silence drifts at the threshold between sound and stillness — eight expansive journeys through the outer reaches of space and the inner landscapes of memory. Built from layers of evolving drones, shimmering textures, and vast atmospheric washes, the album traces the quiet moments before the universe exhales. Each piece unfolds slowly, like light bending through nebulae or time stretching across forgotten worlds.

At once intimate and infinite, Before Silence evokes the hum of distant stars, the resonance of abandoned spacecraft and the pulse of consciousness floating untethered in the void. This is music for deep listening — a meditation on the beauty that lingers just before everything fades to quiet.

Before Silence is an eight-part exploration of sound, space, and stillness — a journey through vast ambient landscapes where tone and texture replace rhythm and melody. Built from evolving drones, distant resonances and layers of shifting atmosphere, each piece unfolds gradually, inviting the listener to drift through weightless worlds and uncharted emotional terrain.

Hovering between science fiction and dream, the album captures the quiet anticipation that exists just before the void — the hum of machinery in orbit, the slow decay of memories and the final breath before everything dissolves into silence. Before Silence is music for reflection and immersion, designed for moments when time seems to stop.
