An interpretation of the unreal appeal of winter. A winter synth / dungeon synth / dark ambient album, recorded in some dark evening hours at the beginning of 2025. Try to stay warm. Thank you for listening. 🚫 NoAI

A world of white stretches out around me, interrupted only by leafless trees. Many branches reaching out like fingers against the sky. A cold wind pushes snowflakes across the frozen path, making them dance only to let them fall back into silence. I don't know where this path will take me, but it doesn't matter. There is no destination, only forward movement, step by step, without meaning, without purpose.

The breath rises in steaming clouds, disappearing into the air as if it had never been. The silence is oppressive, a quiet reminder that all life here is frozen. I leave tracks in the snow that will soon be swept away. There is no way back, no way forward. The cold closes in around me like an invisible band, leaving me torn between exhaustion and resignation. The winter finds everyone, sooner or later.
