Apoptose – Die Zeit Und Die Dunkelheit (Digital/CD/Vinyl Album – Apop Schallplatten)

The German project Apoptose began experimenting with music in the 1990s and released its debut album in 2000. Several more albums followed, most of them released through Tesco Organisation. This latest work is also the project's first release in seven years and appeared sometime last year. The album draws inspiration from shadow, silence, and solitude, creating a space where sound becomes landscape and silence itself seems to speak.
These themes are subtly translated across nine tracks that occupy a space between Dark-Ambient and Cinematic music. Numerous bird sounds—possibly field recordings—play an important role, naturally creating a distinctive atmosphere. At times the mood is serene, yet it can also become somewhat ominous, particularly when the calls of crows emerge from the soundscape. There is much more to discover, however, including intriguing dark and repetitive sequences, evocative string passages, and delicate piano arrangements. Together, these elements create a vivid sense of loneliness while simultaneously conveying a profound feeling of calm.
This is a rewarding listen from an artist who, in some respects, distances himself from many of the conventions typically associated with Dark-Ambient and Cinematic productions. (Rating:7).
