Paysage d'Hiver

Paysage d'Hiver

"The music of Paysage D'Hiver is used as a monomanic, minimalist musical mantra. This mantra is supposed to help the listener to visualize Alpine winter landscapes, and to experience this landscape as sublime, an aesthetic emotion of simultaneous attraction and fear, an emotion which finds its origin in Romanticism. Listening to Paysage D'Hiver is a phantasmatic practice.
How this practice is connected to other elements of the listener's lives (social, economic, psychological, political etc.) falls outside of the scope of this post."

From surrealdocuments.blogspot.com . Best description I could find, since I certainly can't explain it. The album is low-fi and underproduced, and contains some of the most atmospheric black metal material I've heard. Its worth a few listens. Great for bedtime.
