FugaSatanae

Dark ambient project from Russia.

Alex Hedin (concept, music, artwork, mastermind of the project, from the beginning)

Andres Westrvm (sampling, additional help, since 2007; appears on "the Heritage")

It initially started by Alex Hedin with the idea of making a PC-game (Quest) along with his friend in 2000. He was really into occult stuff that time, so Lovecraft's stories got to be a reasonable choice for both of them... Alex Hedin took part in producing sounds and samples, being a concept-designer at the same time. Unfortunatelly, due to failure of a hard-drive on our PC, we've lost all the data, except musical score. We felt devastated, and finally decided to close the project in 2001...

Coming back to what he had composed, Alex Hedin came up with the idea to explore the field he once discovered - to use the material he had and reproduce it into something personal, so that the music wouldn't touch its narrative side only (like it used to be in the game), but also showed his own feelings to it.

Three years later... It's spring, 2004 and Alex Hedin got the first long-play record to the date - "The Descendant", a typical Dark Ambient with its strong feel of influence from Lustmord's early material (1982-84).

Three more years left... FugaSatanae represente "The Heritage" CD with much better sound quality and more mature musical construction of each track on the album.
