Roads Through the Mirror is a conceptual music project spanning 11 orchestral pieces, each approximately an hour long, with a completion timeline of 4-5 years.
Inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky’s films and Marcel Proust’s exploration of time, the series aims to musically articulate themes like spirituality, nostalgia, dreams, and nature.
The project delves into the Time-Space-Thought Theorem, utilizing Sonic Archetypes to explore the interconnectedness of human existence through music.
Theme 1: Spirituality – Climbing the Light
Exploring ascension and enlightenment through sound

Nine months later Takuro Takeda returns with another beautiful EP with just 4 tracks.
These are deliciously down-tempo arrangements, which, when allowed to stretch to five minutes lock the listener into a deep and fantastical daydream.
A collection of four tracks that’s more like a kind of therapy, if that doesn’t sound too New Age – Takeda’s music is much more epic and expansive and emotionally reflective than New Age.
In other words, if you listen BoC you’ll like Takeda’s music.
Released September 21, 2024 as free (cc) download and beautiful limited edition digipak CD.
“This, our second album, is a collection of synthesized short pieces.
Whether you deem them abstractions due to their strange harmonic contents, or figurative of strange places, is up to you. The key word here is “atmosphere”. They convey no message, they were not created with any intent.
In saying what they’re not, we’re saying they are pure imagination at play. They deal with mental images and perceptions, before language creates order – and falsehoods – out of the plasma of free association.
During their making we never discussed them, bar a few technical points ; never defined them, never worded anything. We never ever mentioned we were actually “doing” them, and really discovered them afterwards.
Of course, we will never succeed in saying nothing. We’re subjects. And the very fact we have to write something about it is the heart of the paradox. But at least we can try. We all deserve a good vacation from meaning. There are other forces at play, like sound.”

Sýček je známý jako posel smrti, ale v české alternativní hudbě byl vždy přízviskem pro hudební antižánr krautrock, který tuzemské kapely do svých repertoárů zařazovali jen velmi sporadicky. Motorické bicí, hypnotické melodie, repetitivní struktury, minimalistické texty a heslo méně je více ale tuto kapelu charakterizovalo od prvních songů. Jejich debutové album „I” (vyšlo u NAAB) bylo v roce 2017 nadšeně přijato hudebními kritiky ( nominace na cenu Vinyla a zařazení do TOP10 českých desek za rok 2017 mezinárodního magazínu Beehype.) Po tom, co kapela hojně koncertovala a absolvovala i několik evropských tour, ale přišlo delší odmlčení zapříčiněné rozpadem původní jihočeské sestavy.
Sýček jako fénix vstává z popela v minulém roce, kdy frontman a zpěvák skupiny Libor Staněk II. společně s kytaristou Richardem Steinem (Pokora) do nové formace přizvali Jakuba Zháňala (ex Acute dose), Ambroze Šuleje (Krstní Otcovia) a Adama Křizovenského s Nataly Středovou (GRÜNT).
V současnosti už tedy česko-slovenská kapela Sýček na podzim 2024 vydává po sedmi letech druhou studiovou desku s lakonickým názvem „IV“. Nové uskupení se navrací tam odkud Sýček vzlétl poprvé: ke krautrockovému vzývání, které fanoušky uvádí do… more

Following the spectral echoes of “Drifted Vol. 1” (on AFTER AFFECTS REC, France), Wahn returns, debuting on Mahorka, with “Drifted Vol. 2”, a deeper plunge into the abyss where despair looms heavier, yet faint glimmers of hope still emerge like distant stars in an endless night. The soundscape is darker, more cinematic, with grainy textures crackling like fractured memories. Lush, slow-motion atmospheres stretch into the void, embracing the listener in a weighty melancholy, where piano keys occasionally pierce the darkness like fragile rays of light, offering fleeting moments of solace.
In this second chapter, Wahn pushes deeper into the balance between hopelessness and the persistence of light. Cinematic undertones weave through the tracks, amplifying the immersive sense of narrative. The sub-bass resonates like a rumble from the earth’s core, making the body itself an instrument in this journey, grounding the ethereal melodies with a tactile, visceral presence. The ambient realms are thicker, more haunting, yet at times they break open to reveal a brief but tender embrace of warmth. Each track unfolds like a slow, mournful exhale, drawing the listener deeper into an intimate dance of sorrow and fragile hope.
Join Wahn as he continues this odyssey, where textures grow darker, the light more elusive, and the journey more introspective. Drifted Vol. 2 is a cinematic exploration into the profound depths of despair, with sub-bass vibrations and fleeting moments of light that make the experience as physical as it is emotional.
