Reconfiguration Reconfiguration
They are Zeros hidden inside the bodies of normal people... A little spoken voice, a little neo-classical vocal.
Deja Vu Premonition Deja Vu Premonition
Based on the ideas for the upcoming novel “A. Molotkov and S.B. Reda Meet Zabda Rect in the Hierarchy of Evil”. Enticing guitar pattern, unusual doumbek rhythm + bansuri + tabla + singing + chanting + speaking. Pamela Zero contributes a vocal part.
The Center 1 The Center 1
An unnerving musical interpretation of "The Center", a dream from the novel "The Texture Of The Sky".
