Delicate textures drift through wide open space, as shimmering delays and evolving harmonies dissolve into stillness — and then rise again like distant light.
Both a tribute and a transformation, this version captures the quiet awe of gazing into the unknown, where memory and possibility meet. For those who seek beauty in subtlety, and stillness in motion.
A collaboration with A.e.r.o. that fuses cinematic synths with trance propulsion and ambient haze. Melodic layers rise and collapse like waves of energy, creating a dialogue between clarity and distortion. The track thrives on contrast — density against space, momentum against stillness. It is NDNL in motion: emotion carried not by force but by resonance. A piece that reveals new textures each time you return to it.
NDNL takes Magic Wave 42’s tender indie roots and dissolves them into ambient weightlessness. The remix unfolds like a daydream: harmonies stretch wider, rhythms pulse beneath, while textures blur the edges of memory. It is both fragile and boundless — a transformation that carries the original into new terrain.
Alchemy explores the darker side of NDNL’s palette: intricate IDM-like rhythms set against progressive house gravity. Each section twists like molten metal, reshaping melody into sharper contours and heavier weight. Pads emerge like weather fronts, percussive sparks scatter and reform. The track inhabits a space where atmosphere is thick yet every element breathes — a ritual of tension and release.
NDNL reimagines Firnwald’s composition with rhythmic precision and nocturnal atmosphere. IDM structures provide restless momentum, while cinematic breakdowns open into wide reflective space. The remix lingers between agitation and calm, ideal for late hours when thoughts refuse to fade.
Qatsi channels the visual and philosophical weight of the Koyaanisqatsi trilogy. The music contrasts mechanical repetition with organic decay, portraying the friction between technology and nature. Melodic motifs circle endlessly like city lights at night — patterns similar yet never the same. The track does not resolve; instead, it confronts the listener with unease, echoing the films’ meditation on harmony and imbalance.
NDNL turns Constant Current’s intimate indietronica into widescreen future-trance. The mix expands the stereo field, giving the synths altitude and the drums lift. Where the original leaned inward, this version stretches outward, balancing intimacy with grandeur. A track equally suited for headphones and the dance floor, carrying light through both.
Habana becomes a neon-lit cityscape in NDNL’s rework. Pulsing synth chords echo against soaring guitar lines, evoking both widescreen cinema and solitary night walks. The pacing allows harmonies to flare and then recede, leaving afterglows like distant headlights. A piece that is vast in scale yet attentive to quiet details.
The remix carries Andy Leech’s melodic core into a more assertive landscape. Breakbeat percussion drives the momentum, while evolving textures add depth and grit. Midway, the arrangement opens, giving the original’s harmonies new resonance. A respectful rework that expands without overshadowing.
Momentum lives up to its name: an instrumental progression built from luminous synth lines and grounded rhythm. NDNL keeps propulsion steady rather than forceful, letting atmosphere carry the energy forward. Pads hang in long decay, creating a sense of endurance rather than acceleration. The result is a track that feels always in motion, never hurried.
NDNL transforms Orenstein’s light synth-pop into something more turbulent. Gentle atmospheres are gradually torn apart by a precise beat, building toward a powerful climax. The remix mirrors distance itself: between the familiar and the alien, between song and signal. By its close, the track has shed its softness for grandeur, carrying both beauty and unrest.
The single also made it onto the Found Sound compilation from Touched Music, released on a double CD on December 30th, 2022.
"... But very soon the understanding comes that the point of harmony was only an internal state. Outwardly, the path continues. The soul feels a significant acceleration of its flight. This unprecedented and inconceivable speed leads to the idea that it has fallen into infinite space. Otherwise, being in such a strong and impetuous stream, it would be possible to determine some phases, points of the beginning, middle or end. Fit the visible picture into human limited perception. Is it infinity? This is Endless."
"... Having switched to the observer mode, this soul falls into a stream that carries it deeper and deeper. At the moment, this is the starting point of movement into the void."
NDNL reshapes Shuma’s “Vetry” into a hybrid of folk spirit and electronic propulsion. The vocals retain their organic warmth while rhythmic layers anchor the track in modern dance floor energy. Acoustic elements echo against digital textures, forming a dialogue between tradition and futurism.
This is a story about a possible way of life for the universe, which can be projected onto everything that evolves. It can be both private life and social spheres, culture, art or anything else. Using the example of the human soul, as a concept outside of time, the album describes the path being made from the point of peak evolve of its life. Each of the tracks in the album expresses the transitional points on the path. Passing through them, the soul is steadily approaching the moment of its completion in "Collapse".
Electricity returns in club form, reshaped from the debut album’s opening into a more direct, groove-driven cut. Rhythmic emphasis sharpens, melodies adapt to late-night intensity, yet the original’s narrative core remains. It’s a retelling designed for motion — same story, brighter pulse.
The album title "Your Own Borders" was born in the middle of the album creation process. During the recording, I was regularly facing creative barriers trying to find something new for myself. Leaving my zone of creative comfort and making decisions that were not typical for me under normal conditions, I managed to overcome the limits. I managed to make many discoveries. Record the leading part in 1 take with no having a playing experience, just playing it on the midi keyboard at the right time. Create live rhythm patterns using artifacts from pitch-shifting algorithms. Apply audio processing plugins as musical instruments using random multi-effects on the master channel. Make records of rooms and spaces, noises of nature and use them in tracks. Create an entire arrangement from only one sample source. Use flaws and defects as advantages and more. These techniques may seem usual to an experienced producer, but they were all beyond the barrier. Overcoming these limitations I got the title.
Proximity captures the charged stillness of anticipation. Melodies lean forward, rhythms hold back, leaving the listener suspended at the edge of change. It is the sound of a line being drawn — between now and what comes after.
Amusia takes its cue from Oliver Sacks’ Musicophilia and the neurological disorder itself. Patterns emerge, falter, and reform, reflecting the fragility of perception. NDNL transforms this instability into music — where imperfection becomes structure and disorder becomes beauty.
Black Lodge conjures foreboding soundscapes that unravel into elaborate arpeggios. The track grows like a shadow, pulling the listener into a twilight state between clarity and unease. It is immersive, insistent, and built to linger long after it ends.
Released April 5, 2018 on Black Sunset Music (Armada)
This double single draws from the language of stage magic: build, misdirection, reveal. NDNL translates these forms into trance structures that conceal and then expose, shift and then clarify. Music here behaves like illusion itself — captivating because of what it hides.
Released November 27, 2020 on Big Toys Production.
Messy balances melodic drive with gritty rhythm, a cut designed for maximum presence. Supported by leading DJs and radio shows, it represents NDNL’s ability to move from introspection into direct energy. It is both crowd-ready and unmistakably personal.
The Last Loner channels solitude into motion, shaping loneliness into a resonant trance journey. Its emotional weight made it a staple across multiple international shows and compilations. A track that transforms absence into presence, and silence into voice.
Released September 21, 2018 on Big Toys Production.
The Wind marks NDNL’s recorded beginning: a sparse, cinematic ambient piece inspired by Timofey Gostev’s film. It captures the chill of northern air and the patience of empty space. Minimal yet immersive, it set the foundation for everything that followed.
Released December 1, 2015 on Eye Lounge.
Return
Andrey Orenstein - Gone From This Place (NDNL Instrumental Remix)
Prepared for Touched Music’s double CD, this instrumental strips away the vocal to let the architecture speak. Without words, the harmonic shifts and rhythmic fractures stand bare, revealing the raw structure beneath the emotion. A work where detail takes the lead.
Released on a double CD on December 30th on Touched Music.
