Absentia - Waiting
Absentia presents listeners with an album that is almost 35 minutes long. “Waiting” is music straight from the heart of darkness. Full of pessimism and darkness. Dark ambient with industrial elements only for those, who feel up to the task of getting through the night, lasting from the first to the very last second of this album.
The “Waiting” album is controlled by machines programmed with mathematical formulae. They create an industrial, noir soundscape, that covers (or maybe dopes) the listener, in his anticipation for… Absentia? It must be the most miserable of all possible answers. But such answer refers to the work of the theatre of the absurd’s master – Samuel Beckett, to whom the project refers to. The music that one finds on “Waiting” is an approach at grasping the essence of human emotions, those soaked with sadness and pessimism, in order to (in accordance with Beckett) wait for one’s Godot.
While under the influence of “Waiting”, you will become absent. However, the new material that Absentia is currently working on, is going to be called “Personality”. Maybe it will tell us what we were waiting for while listening to this album.
Absentia’s album was published by a young record company, Via-Nocturna in a number of 200 copies. The semantic similarity of the subjects’ names doesn’t seem to be accidental.
Tracklist:
01. Waiting
02. Yesterday's Experience
03. Waiting II
04. My Thoughtful Heart
05. Waiting III – Exodus
