Together with Ethernautica, Ran Kirlian also released another album in New Year’s Eve entitled Stillness. It is a deep and dark soundworld album formed by three long-form pieces where slow evolving passages flow to conform intense textures.
This is what Kirlian has to say about this album:
«Stillness proposes an isolated and timeless sonic universe that combines and contrasts static and dynamism trying to cause the listener to feel expelled from that world full of sounds, noises and rhythms resulting from the daily reality in which we live. In Stillness you can find slow sequences and melodies that flow and evolve over even slower structures on mostly static drones. This made me feel that the sound world I was creating was expanding again and again, to fill everything.
This album suggests an alternative approach to the classic concept of environmental drones as I have been developing so far. For the recording and composition process of this album, I have applied patterns similar to those used in works such as Ethernautica.»
Stillness is available digital download format in 24-bit depth sound quality at Bandcamp: https://rankirlian.bandcamp.com/album/stillness


Ran Kirlian just released Ethernautica IV, his fourth episode in his series of raw large format dronescapes. This is what he says about this release:
Our estimated artist
Many Futures is a series of minialbums that collect my musical and sonic impressions around years of science fiction literature reading. More than just a soundtrack for those stories, these tracks are my personal vision of the future portrayed by the authors. That’s where the series title comes from, as the music contained in this and further volumes flows around the many alternative futures of the humankind. Issue 3 includes sonic landscapes inspired by sci fi short stories created by Fritz Leiber, Henry Slesar, Poul Anderson and Kingsley Amis.

This album collects music previously included in the Altera Orbe Woomh series, a number of minialbums mainly based on experimental, electronic and dark-ambient music genres. Most of the music contained in this album was recorded between 2009 and 2019 and released from 2012 onwards in digital format only (all of them available here).
The Shape of Memories was originally released in 2013 for Phillip Wilkerson’ Complex Silence Project and has been unavailable for some time. It has been rereleased in 2018, remastered and having some parts mixed again from the source in order to enhance the experience and fix some minor issues.
