Comment: Morpheus` 14-track issue Alkemiisto is an intriguing issue because the artist’s original music is variegated with his own versions of such classical composers/musicians as Bach, Corelli, Vangelis, Abeni, Vildsvin, Chopin and additionally some video game numbers. It sounds interesting, isn’t? In stylistic and temporal terms it does mean Stanislav Rubyteno has opened possibilities to either unite or juxtapose old, baroque music with blackened ambient and neoclassical tunes. The general mood is resolutely murky and damp thereby allowing few chances to shed light upon in the middle of shadowplay. More concretely, hammering piano chords and solemn organ droning are unwound with yarning orchestrated passages and ominous, expressive ambient glimpses. Undoubtedly Rubyteno`s melancholy is beautiful and dignifying therefore bolstering the issue with quality. Get it.

Comment: these 40 minutes will crank the emotions in the listeners significantly because I guess there would be noiseful one among us to refuse to come along that pathway and experience different vibes after a bunch of dodges are emerged to introduce different yet related narratives within the course. At times it is the sort of ambient music with poppy smooth jazz progressions and New Age tinged motives, at times shedding light more upon Kosmische Musik with more profound and soaring threads. At times there are represented endeavours toward such sort of ambient and pop mixed music where gentle guitar chords are accompanied by even more gentle synthetic whiffs and elemental sounds borrowed from the natural sources. At times those synthesizer induced layers and droning mist have been managed in the way to put in more watery and mirky sonic components to the mix. The greatest success of the issue is related to the organic balance between moody and technical counterparts as if you could be a part of this terrific terrain. That`s all, it is ok. It is very ok. The issue is a part of an imprint, Aventuèl.
