Styles: Instrumental / Ambient / Electro-Acoustic / Minimalism

Tracks: 1

Composed by Daniel Smirnov and Tikhon S. Kubov as WON JAMES WON. Recorded and mixed by Dan at James Studio, S-Petersburg, May 2007. This mini-album was originally released as a soundtrack to the “Dante. Moscow” DVD-movie by Arbor Studio. That DVD-edition has never been available for purchase, just as a special gift-set at Photo-Biennale in Moscow. Courtesy to Arbor Company it is available now as a free audio-album.

“Dante. Moscow” embodies the reverse of WON JAMES WON’s chilling and chaotic creative experimentalism: mellow, melancholic, minimalist electro acoustic ambient music. The beautiful pastoral landscaping which might set you thinking about diverse aspects of WJW and ZveZdaz activity. Original artwork by ZonderZond.
