Departed by Desiderii Marginis

'Departed' is a slow, soaring meditation on mortality and the great uncertainty of life, the complete certainty of death, and how we cope with that knowledge. 'Departed' retains the sacral expression of its predecessor, but not within the oppressive confinement of old stone vaults, but high across a raging sea, rocky shores and darkened skies. Music for gazing at the endless ocean of infinity, trying to catch a glimpse of meaning through the tiny rips in the fabric of existence; its magic and loss.

Of the Swedish wave of ambient acts from the 1990's, Johan Levin, the mastermind behind Desiderii Marginis, has created and developed his own unique sonic palette merging digital and analogue: melancholic electronica with electroacoustic elements and intravenous rhythms. From early on his music met with positive reactions resulting in albums on legendary Cold Meat Industry label, and Cyclic Law.
