drone ambient

maw

Dmitriy Chistov is likely to be one of the most prolific post-industrial artists specializing in various ambient music in Russia. Hum and maw are closer to drone ambient, Sphogha and Nigredo - to noise ambient. Mikosterion is a one-off project dedicated to an ideal trip after the consumption of certain mushrooms. There are three distinctive features of all of his projects: 1) no digitally produced sounds, only analog ones; 2) very strong, tenacious atmosphere (no, not in the “catchy” sense); 3) classy packages.
