[gterma047]

One of the strangest and most fascinating aspects of ambient music is the way it can sometimes morph from sonic wallpaper -where it basically functions as a soundtrack- into an agent of transformation, allowing the reshaping of the perceived world around the listener.

Some of Mathias' albums have had this effect on me before, and the Darklight Quest definitely falls into this territory. gterma is happy to shine a light on this now mostly forgotten treasure. The Darklight Quest is a longform drone ambient album with mystical properties. It was originally released as a DIY CDr in 1998. The album is closely related to the Nightquest and Dreamquest Sessions. This edition has been slightly edited and expanded with a prelude. It has also received a mastering touch by Anders Peterson of Ghost Sounds.

Innerspace
by Altus

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Darklight Quest”

Altus music has been a constant companion and inspiration to me - with albums like Komorebi, Winter Embrace II and Innerspace, containing compositions I could dwell in endlessly. Their meditative radiance is all immersive. ''Innerspace Outermind'' has been my undisputed ringtone and alarm for years now. There is nothing more pleasant than hearing such symphony appear when somebody calls. To be awoken by this summons an energy that paints and colours ones whole journey through the day. Sweven
