Microgram ε
Trance compositions characterized by dense, anti-minimalist architecture. Melody is not abandoned—it is buried beneath layers of texture, demanding deep listening to be perceived.
1. Album Title
The work is titled Microgram ε. This title functions as a precise, almost clinical designation. "Microgram" suggests a measurement of minuscule weight, hinting at the band's focus on the universe of detail within every note and the subtleties of timbre. It implies that the album's true impact is found not in its overt size, but in its concentrated, almost immeasurable quality. The Greek letter ε (Epsilon), often used in mathematics to denote a small, positive quantity, reinforces this notion of the infinitely small and precise, suggesting that the album is the minimal unit of sonic truth, achieved through iteration and precision.
2. Album Direction
The artistic trajectory is defined as Trance compositions characterized by dense, anti-minimalist architecture. Melody is not abandoned—it is buried beneath layers of texture, demanding deep listening to be perceived. This Album Direction is the direct application of the band's manifesto. The "anti-minimalist architecture" is the physical realization of the "living architecture of resonance". The "layers of texture" are the culmination of valuing the "evolution of texture" and acknowledging that "every note is a universe of detail". The requirement of "deep listening" is the sacred covenant between the band and the listener, affirming their commitment to "sound as a profound act of listening" and creating "not to be heard—but to be felt."
3. Band Manifesto (Contextualized)
"We believe that music is not merely sound arranged in time, but a living architecture of resonance, presence, and perception. Rooted in first principles, our practice begins not with style, trend, or convention—but with the fundamental truths of acoustics, the physicality of instruments, and the infinite potential of sound generation through synthesis.
We honor the instrument not as a tool, but as a partner in expression—its materials, construction, and physical behavior are sacred to our craft. We listen not only to pitch and rhythm, but to the subtleties of timbre, the evolution of texture, and the alchemy of spatial resonance. Every note is a universe of detail; every silence, a dimension of meaning.
Our process is deliberate. We reject haste. We embrace iteration not as delay, but as a necessary discipline—each refinement a step toward authenticity, not compromise. We measure progress not by speed, but by depth: by how well a sound embodies truth, how precisely it reflects intention, how fully it occupies its sonic space.
We value artistic integrity above all else. Expediency is not liberation—it is surrender. We do not chase novelty for novelty’s sake, nor do we surrender to the tyranny of the immediate. Instead, we build with patience, precision, and reverence.
This is not a style. This is a stance.
We are committed to the long view: to sound as a profound act of listening, creation, and presence.
We create not to be heard—but to be felt."
The Manifesto Demands: An Interpretive Essay
The profound commitment to precision, reverence, and architecture articulated in this manifesto does not merely inform the album Microgram ε; it fiercely demands its existence in the form of Trance compositions characterized by dense, anti-minimalist architecture. The ideological act of rejecting haste and expediency is sonified through the very structure of the music. Each track name, a dense, esoteric neologism (Narzithemor, Sylthorvael), functions as a conceptual anchor for the layers of texture where melody is buried. These compositions are the laboratory where the "universe of detail" is chemically analyzed.
The Manifesto's focus on the physicality of instruments and the alchemy of spatial resonance dictates that the listener must embrace the deep listening required to perceive the buried melody. The emotional undercurrent is one of purist discipline and sonic transcendence achieved through complexity, not simplicity. Tracks like Vaelthymorix and Thrymzaelith are not songs; they are iterations—acts of devotion where sound is judged by how well it embodies truth. The Manifesto's final decree—to be felt—is the emotional mandate for the Trance state, leveraging the living architecture of resonance to bypass the ear and impact the listener's very state of presence.
4. Tracklist
Narzithemor
The sound of Narzithemor is the initial, foundational act of building with patience, precision, and reverence. Its title suggests a kind of narcotic geometry—a structure that is both precise and deeply immersive. As a direct manifestation of the manifesto, it represents the initial, deliberate rejection of style, trend, or convention. The track is the sound of first principles being unearthed, the initial blueprint for the living architecture of resonance. It embodies the ideological act of rejecting haste; every second is dense with information, a meticulous study of the physicality of instruments translated into synthetic texture.

The emotion is one of austere dedication—the sound of an architect refusing compromise, establishing the precise, heavy atmosphere that will define the album's required depth. It is the sound of the Microgram ε being weighed and authenticated.
Sylthorvael
Sylthorvael is the track where the manifesto's focus shifts from the architecture's blueprint to the materials themselves: the subtleties of timbre and the evolution of texture. This song represents the ideological act of honoring the instrument not as a tool, but as a partner in expression. The dense, anti-minimalist layers are the sonic proof of the commitment to precision, where no single sound is accidental. The title implies a swirling, hidden velocity, representing the alchemy of spatial resonance that must be felt. The emotion it embodies is a state of controlled, deliberate chaos—the struggle of the buried melody against the weight of the layers of texture. The track title functions as a prayer to the sonic space, a plea for the listener to perceive the infinite potential of sound generation through synthesis. It is the sound of iteration in action, where each refinement is a step toward authenticity. The listener must actively engage to find the pattern, transforming the listening process into the profound act of listening the manifesto demands.
Orynthaelis
The sonic structure of Orynthaelis is a direct manifestation of the core tenet: Every note is a universe of detail; every silence, a dimension of meaning. This track demands a surrender to the Trance composition—the rhythm and harmony are submerged beneath an ocean of synthetic texture. It represents the emotional state of profound, concentrated presence. The name suggests an ancient, complex machine, directly embodying the dense, anti-minimalist architecture. This is where the band measures progress not by speed, but by depth. The song is a slow, relentless immersion, requiring deep listening to be perceived. The ideological act here is the refusal to chase novelty for novelty’s sake. Instead, the composition holds a sustained, almost ritualistic gaze upon a single, evolving idea. Orynthaelis functions as a slogan for the committed listener: We create not to be heard—but to be felt. Its complex, unforgiving structure ensures that only those who embody the manifesto’s value of artistic integrity in their attention will be granted access to the buried melodic truth.
Thrymzaelith
Thrymzaelith represents the moment of intense, almost painful iteration—the necessary discipline described in the manifesto. The track is the sonic crucible where the sound is tested for how well it embodies truth. The title is harsh, suggestive of shattering or structural stress, embodying the conflict between expediency and liberation. The dense, anti-minimalist architecture becomes a fortress here, an imposing structure that actively resists superficial engagement. The emotion is one of unyielding conviction—the sound of the band refusing to surrender to the tyranny of the immediate. It manifests the ideological act of valuing artistic integrity above all else. The song functions as a warning that compromise is surrender. Listening to it is an act of defiance against sonic ease, a commitment to extracting the Microgram ε of pure essence from the noise of convention. The texture here is at its most layered, demanding the listener's full presence to track the subtle melodic lines that give the piece its Trance pulse.
Vaelthymorix
Vaelthymorix is the album’s most direct expression of the living architecture of resonance. The title has a sweeping, almost mythological sound, yet its structure remains utterly precise. This track fully realizes the commitment to the long view—sound as a complete, profound act of listening, creation, and presence. The track’s emotional core is a sense of monolithic, achieved truth. It is the sonic manifestation of a sound that fully occupies its sonic space, a meticulously rendered landscape of texture where the physical behavior of the instruments and synthesis are sacred to our craft. The ideological act is one of reverence for the potential of sound itself. Vaelthymorix functions as a complex, extended prayer for the perfect occupancy of sound. The buried melody here is the deepest; to find it is to acknowledge the band’s process as deliberate and the composition as having achieved the state of authenticity, not compromise. The track forces the listener into the deepest state of the Trance, where perception and sound become one.
Zulmirethor
The sound of Zulmirethor is the return to the fundamental truths of acoustics and physicality after the maximalism of the previous track. The title is dark, earthen, and grounded, representing the rooted in first principles aspect of the manifesto. This track is the sound of depth being measured—the sonic embodiment of asking: how well a sound embodies truth? The emotional representation is one of cold, stark clarity—the kind that comes after a long, deliberate process. The ideological act is the rigorous self-assessment of the work, the commitment to precision over all other concerns. The track functions as a slogan for the purist: Microgram ε is the weight of truth. The Trance composition here uses its dense layers not for complexity, but for crushing weight, emphasizing the physicality of the sound. The listener is forced into a state of deep listening where the simple elements, magnified by texture, reveal their universe of detail.
Nycthaelorim
Nycthaelorim represents the sonic dimension of silence, a dimension of meaning. The title suggests the edge of night or the hidden realm, manifesting the concept that melody is buried beneath layers of texture, demanding deep listening to be perceived. The emotional response is one of abstract revelation—the sound of realizing the infinite potential of sound generation through synthesis in a space free from conventional melody. The ideological act here is the ultimate surrender to the long view of sound, where the relationship between presence and perception is prioritized. Nycthaelorim functions as a gentle, yet firm warning against chasing the immediate. The density of its anti-minimalist architecture is not aggressive; it is meditative, a protective layer over the core truths. The track asks the listener to be present with the sound, to embrace the Trance state as the necessary conduit to feel what cannot be heard, cementing the manifesto’s final promise: to be felt.
Pealthorvayn
Pealthorvayn is the song that manifests the manifesto’s focus on the subtle, the minute, and the highly specific: the subtleties of timbre. The title, almost whispered, denotes a fine-grained, highly articulated sonic state. The emotional quality is one of obsessive detail and refined focus. The ideological act is the ultimate expression of iteration as a necessary discipline. The Trance composition here moves not through grand gestures, but through imperceptible shifts in texture and spatial resonance, embodying the very nature of a Microgram ε—a change of infinitesimal weight that carries monumental significance. The track functions as a slogan against the notion of compromise: Refinement is a step toward authenticity. Listening to Pealthorvayn is a commitment to the depth over the speed of experience, demanding a listener who can perceive the universe of detail and honor the material's physical behavior as sacred.
Erythaelzyn
Erythaelzyn acts as the album’s dense, saturated conclusion, a final, total immersion in the living architecture of resonance. The title suggests a deep, resonating finality, a comprehensive statement that all elements—timbre, texture, pitch, and silence—have reached their state of precision. The emotional texture is one of ultimate, undeniable conviction. This song manifests the entire process of building with patience, precision, and reverence. It is the sonic proof that artistic integrity has been valued above all else. Erythaelzyn functions as a final, comprehensive prayer, confirming the album is a profound act of presence and creation. The dense, anti-minimalist architecture is deployed to its maximum, burying the melody so deeply that its perception is a true act of communion, a shared acknowledgment between band and listener that the work has been created not to be heard—but to be felt. It is the ultimate expression of the Trance, a total occupation of the sonic space.
5. Album as a Living Artifact
Microgram ε is not an album; it is a ritual object, forged through a process of deliberate and sacred craft, as detailed in the manifesto. Each composition, from Narzithemor to Erythaelzyn, is not a song for passive enjoyment but a sonic talisman, an anti-minimalist architecture designed to be felt, not merely heard.
Listening to this artifact is a profound act of recalibration for the consciousness. It demands a surrender of haste and a rejection of the tyranny of the immediate, forcing the listener to match the band’s commitment to precision and depth. The buried melody within the layers of texture is the truth the listener must unearth; the effort of deep listening is the initiation rite.
The transformation is one of presence. As the listener is forced away from superficial perception and into the universe of detail of every note, the everyday world of expediency is destroyed. The album reveals a world where sound is a physical, measurable force—a living architecture where every Microgram ε of texture is intentional. The Trance state achieved is the final communion: the sound bypassing the ears to impact the core, achieving the manifesto's ultimate promise: to be felt. This artifact is a mirror, reflecting the listener's own capacity for patience, integrity, and profound attention back upon them, making them a true partner in the alchemy of spatial resonance.
