about

After being absent for a little while on Altar Records, Moscow-based musician Nick Klimenko (aka Chronos) fortunately brings us not one but two brand new ambient albums in 2012.

Dear Friends,

We're announcing the upcoming massive & ambitious project :

"When Mars Meets Venus,
Music for the imaginary Space Film" by CHRONOS

The story was made after inspirational ideas coming from great science fiction writers: Ivan Efremov, Stanislav Lem, Ray Bradbury.

It's also a story featuring unconditional love which is present everywhere in our universe and about the principles of relationships of man (Mars) & woman (Venus).

They will be released in a beautiful Eco-Digipack/Pocket deluxe format containing a wide palette of musical colors, deep emotions and experiments in various musical styles:

CD1: Mars (downtempo, space music, ambient, soundtrack, idm, dubstep & many more) [Limited to 300 CD copies presented in an Deluxe Eco-Wallet Digipack format]

CD2: Venus (space ambient, soundtrack music) (Digital version comes for free when you'll place an order for "Mars" album)

released March 15, 2012

Nick (aka Chronos) is exclusively recording with analog gear and real synthesizers in his studio to capture the essence and warmth of a great sound!

The “Mars” journey can be described as follows:

Today, the solar system travels a near-circular path around our galaxy, keeping a constant 30,000 light years between us and the seething galactic core. We once assumed most stars stayed in such quiet orbits for their entire lives.

Our ride may have been more exciting.

The characteristic spiral arms of a galaxy such as the Milky Way are waves of higher density, regions where stars and gas are a little closer together than elsewhere in our galaxy's disc. Their additional gravity is normally too weak to alter a star's path by much, but if the star's orbital speed happens to match the speed at which the spiral arm is itself rotating, then the extra force has more time to take effect.

"It's like surfers on the ocean - if they're paddling too slow or too fast they don't get anywhere. They have to match the speed just right, then they get pushed along"

Have a great trip through the milky way!

VENUS ALBUM: (Didital only)

"The universal spectacle throughout
Was shaped for admiration and delight,
Grand in itself alone, but in that breach
Through which the homeless voice of waters rose,
That dark deep thoroughfare, had Nature lodged
The Soul, the Imagination of the whole"


Nick gives his thanks to:
