Atrium Carceri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atrium Carceri is a Swedish musical project by Simon Heath, released by industrial record label Cold Meat Industry. Three full-length albums have been released so far, with a fourth coming soon.
[edit] Description
Atrium Carceri is typically described as dark ambient, black ambient [1] and ambient industrial music. Similar to projects like Lull and Lustmord, Atrium Carceri uses synthesizers, sound effects, samples from films and anime, piano and other instrumentation to create soundscapes based on themes of desolation, loneliness (especially solitary confinement) and environmental decay. Atrium Carceri albums have been praised by critics and embraced by a cult audience for their depth of atmosphere. As described by one reviewer, "Heath creates a world where time collapses, where the ancient world of conjured spirits, the physical limitations of being all too human, and the infinite outreach of potential futuretech, all coexist."[2]
