"Endorphins therefore offers us his vision of decades of electronic music, starting with the soaring, basic cerebral, and ending up adding more recent touches of dance, not excluding in the process some electro body music rhythms. He did the trick well without knocking us out with pieces of trying lengths.  "

About the album

Although instrumental, the music on Descending is heavily inspired by movies from the 70s/early 80s and addresses themes of nostalgia, grief, identity, hauntology, psychedelics, the occult and supernatural.

The album has been recorded over a ten year stretch and will be released with an accompanying visual album reconfiguring existing footage into new narratives.
Obwohl die Musik auf Descending instrumental ist, ist sie stark von Filmen aus den 70ern/frühen 80ern inspiriert und behandelt Themen wie Nostalgie, Trauer, Identität, Spuk, Psychedelika, Okkultes und Übernatürliches.

Das Album wurde über einen Zeitraum von zehn Jahren aufgenommen und wird mit einem begleitenden visuellen Album veröffentlicht, das vorhandenes Filmmaterial zu neuen Erzählungen umgestaltet.
