Demo compilation with the two first privately circulated demos from 1993. Showcasing Desiderii Marginis early forays into dark electronic music, the tracks evoke a solemn brooding atmosphere with synth-induced soundscapes, hauntological voice samples and elaborate industrial rhythms.
This release makes the material available on it's original format for the first time to a wider audience. The audio has not been remastered, and the artwork exclusively features graphics already found on the old DIY tape inlays. As the first in a sequence of Desiderii Marginis tape releases planned by Gondolin records, the logo used here is taken from the first CD pressing of the seminal debut album 'Songs Over Ruins" on Cold Meat Industry.

Dark atmospheric industrial ambient, privately circulated as the third demo in 1993 by renowned Swedish neoclassical dark ambient project Desiderii Marginis. Representing a previously under-illuminated early period of the project, which combined bleak haunted synth-induced soundscapes with slow hypnotic industrial rhythms.
Following the recent reissue of the two earlier 1993 demos "Consecrare/Via Peregrinus" (GON135), this tape release makes the "Hortus Conclusus/Triptych" full-length demo available on it's originally intended format for the first time to a wider audience, thus completing the reissues of the demos from the early period. The artwork uses graphics from the old DIY tape inlay. The logo is taken from the first CD pressing of the seminal debut album 'Songs Over Ruins" on Cold Meat Industry.
