Amongst the dust and sealed windows a key is laid bare to unlock the forgotten and reanimate reality. A garden of solitary reminiscence opens up as a gleaming tunnel, confronting visions of a derelict eden.
‘Moving Houses’ is the debut collaborative effort of Niels Geybels & Angel Simitchiev under the name Waning End. It was created in an intuitive and impulsive exchange of sounds, ideas, and recollections. The process spanned within just a few months but it was inspired by a lifelong fascination with nostalgia, with the urge to retrace what we leave behind or what we find along the way. Waning End was a means to revisit places that are no longer ‘ours’ but that made us who we are today.
On the surface, Moving Houses builds a world where abandonment and emptiness reign supreme but the closer you listen the more you recognize the echoes of your own looping memories, saturated images, and fading presences of (not so) distant moments in time. Waning End embraces the past and orchestrates its fragile debris in a glacially paced, densely textural musical experience that welcomes you not only as a spectator but as a participant as well. Out now on Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere.
