Tineidae & Burma Project - Reports from Isul (2024)

Tineidae & Burma Project teams up on this beautiful dark ambient album that pulls us into analog warmth and sizzling filtered distortion.

"You stand before the structure, a monolith to a civilization that's been dead for millennia. The building's surface is a dark, glassy material that seems to absorb the light around it, like a black hole sucking in the surrounding environment.

As you approach, the wind picks up, whipping dust and debris into a frenzy that stings your skin. The walls loom above, their intricate patterns a mess of intersecting lines and geometric shapes that shift and writhe like a living thing.

Your footsteps echo off the walls as you enter the vast, empty hall. The air's thick with the smell of decay and burnt metal. The walls are lined with panels, some sort of advanced touchscreen, but they're dead now, their surfaces cracked and dark.

You make your way deeper, to the central command center. A holographic sphere hangs suspended, casting flickering shadows on the walls. The nearby panels waiting for you, their surfaces etched with strange symbols that pulse with a faint, malevolent glow.

As you activate the panel, a sequence of images unfurls, a disjointed narrative of the city's history. You see the inhabitants, their faces twisted with a mix of triumph and despair. They talk about their greatest achievement - a quantum energy generator that had powered their civilization to dizzying heights, but ultimately led to their downfall.

The logs mention something called "bio-lights", living organisms that had been engineered to produce light. They'd been used to illuminate the city, but now they're dormant, their twisted, organic shapes like something out of a nightmare.

Every step, every minute, you feel like you're uncovering a strange secrets. The city's a mausoleum, a witness to the hubris and folly of a civilization that thought it could cheat death. You're just a grave robber, picking over the bones of a long-dead society. But you can't help feeling drawn in, deeper into the heart of this dead city, further into the darkness that lurks within."
