With a previous album out here on Hibernate and a catalog that
lists U-Cover, Resting Bell, Ambsine, Black Orchid and Format
Noise, we welcome back Strom Noir to the Hibernate fold. The
man behind this project is Slovakian artist Emil Matko, who
has been producing music as Strom Noir since 2007. His work in
composing spans back to the early 2000s when he was part of a
trip-hop/downtempo band called mindMap.
With a wide variety of influences spanning extreme metal and
industrial sounds through to ambient and post guitar music,
Matko's varied palette creeps into his music in the form of
intricate sonic detail. Through eight carefully arranged
tracks, 'Dni Stratili Svoju Farbu' (Days Lost Their Colours)
is a culmination of sounds that were mainly drawn from an
acoustic guitar. These were transformed to Matko's desired
sound and then molded together along with field recordings,
hardware synth sounds and effects pedal treatments. His music
is intended as an abstract artform that serves to reflect as
many feelings as possible, as a means of mental regeneration.
It is designed as something that can be related to in
different ways and to induce thought provoking meditative
states amongst its listener.
Much is planned for the future of Strom Noir, with EPs penned
for release on both Rural Colours and Taalem later this year.
In the meantime with its wealth of detail, this album marks a
huge step forward for this talented artist.
