Prominent act from the post-industrial/minimal electroacoustic scene "Day Before Us" is back with a new significant album, casting elegant solitary hymns and shedding an unconventional gothic inspired mood. The instrumentals and conceptual background are approached and elaborated by Philippe Blache while the sound lyricist Agne Srebaliute takes over the vocal parts. "As my spirit wanders free " is a meticulously blended release which gives a large space to contemplative tones, to poignant melodic phrases and to a thick cloud of emotional meandering textures.
The message behind the album explores existential themes such as soul stirring fragility, blurred-fractured memories and the mystical nature world. "As my spirit wanders free" is a vast, sensient and windy atmospheric opus that directly takes on the emotions of the listener. This album marks the 10 years anniversary of the project. This special edition is accompanied by the unique photographic work of Natalie Ina that matches the musical signature in terms of sheer emotional intensity and stylistic landmark.

"NEW SOLO ALBUM SOON. I'm preparing a serie of collaborative efforts for 2026 including a new one with Mariel (a video announcement soon). To close this year l'm near to publish a personal album (Noctivigilus) which appears to be a conceptual one making implicit reference to Elizabeth Rowe's devotional, blissful, heavenly and mourning writing in "Friendship in death, twelve letters from the dead". The music is at a cross between power electronics, transcendantal noises and engulfed piano music in minor key. My dear friend Giuseppe joins force on one track with electronics while Olga is reading a few letters. Stay tuned."
СКОРО выйдет НОВЫЙ СОЛЬНЫЙ АЛЬБОМ. Я готовлю серию совместных работ на 2026 год, в том числе новый альбом с Мариэль (скоро выйдет видео-анонс). В завершение этого года я собираюсь выпустить персональный альбом (Noctivigilus), который, по-видимому, является концептуальным, в нем содержится скрытая отсылка к набожному, исполненному блаженства, небесному и траурному творчеству Элизабет Роу в книге "Дружба в смерти, двенадцать писем от мертвых". Музыка представляет собой нечто среднее между силовой электроникой, трансцендентальными шумами и проникновенной фортепианной музыкой в минорной тональности. Мой дорогой друг Джузеппе объединяет усилия на одном треке с электроникой, пока Ольга читает несколько писем. Оставайтесь с нами.
