Dissolution - [2009]
 

Dissolution is the new exploration into dark ambient realms by Ran Kirlian after four years in the making and several sound experiments and project evolutions. The result is a collection of 11 new tracks exploring sound in a very organic way, where synth drones melts with environmental noises, acoustic sounds and voices to create soundworlds that drives the listener from the deeps of the earth to the cosmic void.

Sleeper - [2004]
 

Based on a privated live performance, this album tries to explore some personal experiences around lucid dreaming. Combining both atmospheric and tribal sides, it describes a new path into my music and my own way of living. Source material was recorded in summer 2003 and treated during next moths. Massive synthesis layers and treated nature sounds creates here a warm environment to give support to tribal grooves, flutes, whispers and strange sounds to enhance a meditative state. Recorded live 15-16 august 2003, mixed at the Blue_Room Sept - Dec 2003

Elements in Motion - [2004]
 

After 3 years of exploring new paths in the dark-ambient side of my music, this album collects tracks that I prepared slowly and deeply. I wanted to do my best on it, and close friends points it as my best album til now. I'm really proud about the final result and I'm just working in a new album in a similar way. Mostly dark and drone based, source material comes from field recordings, voice and found sounds. Synthesizers have here a minimal presence.

Fade Out - [2003]
 

Intimate drifting work, floating and space ambient without rhythms and grooves. Synthesizers have here a huge presence, building melodic structures, sometimes far away from the darkness I touch in other works. Recorded using new gear and improved techniques at Blue_Room during winter/spring 2003.

Initial Flow - [2002]
 

Deep space ambient full of synthetic textures and dark drones covered with subtle details. Initial Flow tries to picture a personal approach of how the universe and life origins could be. Five long form tracks mixed into a deep and calmed flow forming static and inmersive structures for meditation environments. Last recording did at The Kennel during summer 2002 and based on live improvisations and raw ideas with old equipment.

Melting Point - [2001]
 

Including live and studio recordings, most of the music on this albums comes from pure improvisation and raw sessions. This album mixes electronic ambiences, world elements and deep grooves forming a complex flow of environments to give a rich journey between imaginary realms. Melting Point tries to locate the fusion place between technology and primigenial elements combiningsynthesizers, samples and computer generated sounds and grooves with acoustic instruments as flutes, didges, voices, bells, filed recordings and tribal grooves. This album also includes collaborative support by the artist & friend Patrick van de Ven, contributing with groove percussion, ethnic flutes and rainstick on the track Cave of Forgotten Fires. This album was remastered in 2004, including redesigned cover art by Ran Kirlian.

Limbo - [2001]

Composed and recorded between 1999 and 2001 at The Kennel and made during Shore of Darkness and Obscurity era, this album contains tracks that didn’t match the other albums concept. New remastered version includes redesigned cover art and a flow revision adding 4 new unreleased tracks from that period. Remastered at The Blue_Room 2003

Obscurity - [2000]
 

Synths, drones & treated sounds. A very intimal album full of beauty and pain forming a dense atmospheric journey into darkness. Layers and layers of environmental synthesis covered with sad melodies. Six floating pieces melted forming a drifting experience into one unique 73 mins flow. Recorded at The Kennel on summer 2000. New remastered version includes sound enhancement, additional details and redesigned cover art.

Shore of Darkness - [2000]
