Terminus Void – Apeiron
Artist: Terminus Void
P: 2023
“Apeiron” is the first real label release introducing Terminus Void’s full dynamic voice, including ambient, Berlin School, downtempo and the classic Terminus Void emotional sound world. It contemplates the abstract concept of the infinite and boundlessness of everything; from the laws of physics to consensus itself and asked the philosophical question of how we fit within its construct. There’s even a mysterious angle to it all, as the composer added various auditory symbology throughout the album which reinforces a broader concept. To decipher these, one must listen to the album as a progression and dig deeper into the meaning of each track. Although the musician isn’t eager to give away his interpretation or detail the storyline of the music, he reveals many of these symbols represent many things on multiple levels.
The music -including the introduction of the Waldorf Quantium synthesizer- was produced from a combination of three additional projects that are in various stages of completion. Composer J. Ronald Smith e.g. built custom 8th note ping-pong delays and multi tracked many of the sequences to add spatial depth. He furthered this with long synth fades tied to note-triggered pans. Creating balance was one of the major challenges found on this concept project, the strategy was to balance the sequences and use what is referred to as “transitional tracks” to keep the flow of the vibe from not becoming overbearing and tiring to the listener. Moulding and shaping “Apeiron´s” full outcome, which features various subtle Blade Runner influences sprinkled in good taste, proved both daring and intense for Mr Smith, turning out into a rollercoaster of events in the last stage as many adjustments, polishing and subtle transformations were implemented, all rounded out with some stunning 24/48kHz mastering. Compared to Terminus Void’s first two albums “Interstellar” and “Origins Unknown”, the music of “Apeiron” is a different breed, sounding straightforward: it’s an intruiging and well-done transition to a more dynamic-progressive sound which sets it apart from the majority of typical European melodic synth releases. UK-musician Pat Keista joins forces with Terminus Void on the exciting 9th track “Transmission II”. Pat recalls: “John approached me initially for supplementary work on drums, but our affinity grew into a piece in which I also contributed electric guitars. It was a wonderful experience”. And then there the final track “Beyond Apeiron” which was originally meant a collaborative track with another musician but it fell through in the end. Mr Smith decided to partly rearrange it, adding a lovely piano part and even managed to tame some of the more strident high frequencies in there. In total, the 65-minute “Apeiron” is a deep listening, multi-level concept project featuring many auditory themes and musical expression styles unfolding throughout the full-length journey. Highly recommended!

Axess - Resurrection

Artists: Axess
P: 2024

RESURRECTION – A brandnew album release by AXESS!
The question of what happens when a person dies has intrigued humanity for centuries, touching on beliefs that range from spiritual to scientific. Different cultures and religions offer various interpretations, leading to a rich tapestry of ideas about the afterlife.
For many religious traditions, death is not seen as the end but rather a transition. In Christianity, for example, there is a belief in the immortality of the soul and the possibility of resurrection. According to Christian doctrine, the soul is eternal and will be judged after death, leading to Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory based on one’s faith and actions while alive. Similarly, Islam teaches of an afterlife where individuals are accountable for their deeds, with rewards or punishments awaiting them.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, the concepts of reincarnation and karma play significant roles. Followers believe in a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, where one’s actions in previous lives influence their current life and future incarnations. This cycle continues until one achieves enlightenment and liberation (moksha or nirvana), breaking free from the cycle of rebirth.
On the other hand, some philosophical and scientific perspectives view death as the definitive end of consciousness. From this viewpoint, once the biological functions of the body cease, so does awareness and existence. This materialist perspective emphasizes the importance of the present life, urging individuals to make the most of their time on Earth.
At the intersection of these diverse beliefs are themes of legacy and memory. Many people find solace in the idea that while physical existence may come to an end, the impact one makes on others and the world can endure through memories, teachings, and the contributions left behind.
Ultimately, the nature of existence after death remains one of humanity’s greatest mysteries. Whether one believes in an immortal soul, resurrection, reincarnation, or a final cessation of being, these beliefs shape how individuals live their lives and confront the inevitability of their mortality. Each perspective invites a deeper exploration of purpose, meaning, and the profound connections we share with one another throughout life.
My latest CD “RESURRECTION” is a hommage to my wife Irina, which passed away much too early in Summer this year. She was a very religous person with a strong believe in God and a life after death.
