about

The instrumental album Ephemeral was originally released on the bs,bta netlabel in February of 2021. V2 is a variation of the initial release, containing a number of edited versions of tracks as well as an additional track (Remove These Words) which had been recorded during the sessions that provided the material for the album, but not included on its first version. Ephemeral V2 first released on the site of the Free Music Archive.

The original version is still available on Bandcamp as part of the bs,bta net label discography: bsbta.bandcamp.com/album/ephemeral

I have decided to make this version available for free download (enter 0.00) when a price is requested) to represent a more extensive collection of cryptic sceneryalbums.

This is not one of the more Ambient and Drone-related albums by cryptic scenery. Instead, it is closer to the mixture of electronic, repetitive and minimalist pieces of the Stazione Termini album released in 2021. It is not an easy task to sufficiently describe one's own music, but I would characterise this album as a slightly more dissonant, darker companion to Stazione Termini.

The following tracks have been edited in length for V2:

Silver Ceilings for a Final Century
Höghusfasader
The Immortal Hurt
Quadrato della Concordia
Ephemeral
When I Wished I Had Never Been Born
