Welcome to the 59th chapter of the Ambient Sessions. Created by Krushak.
Holy Wars... memorable rituals... agony.... sparks of hope... depressions... beating depressions... dark ancient epic atmospheric sound vs intrusive brain conquering noise sounds
All that summarized you get when you listen to a Mix of Krushak, its not just a DJ set, but also a sound movie. Krushak, born 1996, got influenced by various metal bands, later when he discovered techno, he quickly translated all his influences of art and expierence from live in the musical taste splitted in the genres: industrial, hypnotic, dark ambient, noise. In his sets he aims to put all of it in a right balance, and also loves the feeling that he forgets hearing techno at this moment, but beeing in a musical sound experience which teaches you awe (which he experienced so intense from his big influence label zhark or by calling another big influence name: samuel kerridge). For Krushak, Techno is not just a dance medium, but music which sends you through unlimited dimensions. Especially the deeper and dark sounds is were krushak is home. He loves to create the feeling of a fight, the presence of huger beings or other "moments" created by the variation and combining of the used selection.
About the mix: My music taste consists 90 % of "serious" music, music which dont trys to give you a feeling of being in a happy or funny place. The Mixture of Dark Ambient and light noisy elements in this mix creates a lightly oppressive feeling, the few slow beat structures which are placed from time to time in there, makes it more intense for me. There are some really long tracks in there which would take the drive out of the experience, so I often putted some short tracks in the middle of them to keep a more unpredictable feeling. (There are titles from videogame music artists in there which get the job done :Mikko Tarmia (Also the intro track), he made the soundtrack for horror games like Amnesia, Penumbra and Soma. Besides of him there are works from Simon W. Autenrieth and Marvin Kopp in there (they worked on the ENDERAL Soundtrack). Last but not least Björn Pankratz´s "Visions" from the ELEX Videogame found its way in there too. Including parts of Soundtracks from inspirering videogames in Techno Sets was always a beloved feature by me (It brings another peace of individuality in there). In general I tried to keep the balance between frightening, oppressing sounds, but also ancient, holy and mysticical parts! Sometimes The Listener gets rewarded with some "goodfeelmoments" for keeping his ear in this dark atmospheric work.
