About Things That Never Were

Crystalline IDM that pairs hyper-detailed, skittering percussion with lush, wintery synth pads. A frozen, beautiful world of digital melancholia.

June 11, 2004 · TavCOM Records

A fragile, frozen digital landscape that feels both technically complex and deeply lonely.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the frantic, skittering percussion of Slopes into the wide-open melodic expanse of To Fiddler’s Green.

The way the rhythmic complexity of Tundra Screams suddenly dissolves into a haunting, frozen synth pad.

The delicate, bell-like melodies in Yggdrasil that feel like they are being played on glass.
