For:Fans of ambient, post-minimalist and cinematic electronic music.

 the album "Midnight Colours" (Geographic North) was conceived and defined as the soundtrack of the "Doomsday Clock," a work with inevitably dramatic character and tones that convey more than fear instead a deep melancholy: that regret you might feel as you disenchantedly witness the end of the world and when it is already too late to turn back.
