Алхимические рукописи [Alchemical Manuscripts] by Шумы России [Noises of Russia]

The new studio album of "Noises Of Russia" is like a self-solving puzzle about humanity and a man who has forgotten God. The listener is moving from the "Prose Edda" through alchemical hermetic texts, including the famous "Emerald Tablet", the tragic poems of Pablo Neruda and Thomas Eliott to the final twenty-minute composition, which is Alexander Vvedensky's final poem "Where. When”. Here you can find with piercing clarity the dramatic result of the human life and, as we see it now, of the entire human race.

The album is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the "Noises Of Russia" project. There are both early New Age sound and mature musique concrète sketches in the compositions creating a melodic and meditative atmosphere. Contemplative sound accompanies and organically emphasizes the unhurried and inexorable articulation of hopelessness and death.

The program was presented to a wide audience as part of a live video stream performed on May 5, 2021, at the residence "Art-Okraina" (Crimea). It was recorded separately during the quarantine at the fall of 2021.

Castle of Dreams: out of bounds, out of style, out of limits. There are no political manifestos or world-turning ideas. Every day we look for subjective beauty and capture this moment in the form of music albums, accompanying artifacts and documentaries about beautiful people. Welcome to the Castle.
