Vigilant is the solo project of Dmitry Polivenko, a musician and sound artist from Voronezh, Russia. Founded in 2020, the project crafts immersive sonic landscapes through the transformation of cassette loops, field recordings, and guitar textures, skillfully blending analog warmth with contemporary digital processing. Drawing from experimental, ambient, and industrial influences, Vigilant creates evocative compositions that balance raw sonic exploration with a strong sense of atmosphere. The project's distinctive approach has earned recognition within the underground experimental music scene, leading to releases on acclaimed labels including Kultzmrok, EMIVA Records, Nycklar, SUBSIST, and Broken Tape Records. In addition to his solo work, Dmitry is a member of the noise project Пожар на улице Мира (Fire on Mira Street / PNUM), a powerful live duo that explores the outer limits of sound and transgressive art. Through intense performances and uncompromising sonic experiments, the project reflects on the tensions, challenges, and transformations of contemporary society.With each release, Vigilant continues to push the boundaries of analog-based experimentation, establishing himself as a compelling voice within today's international experimental and ambient music landscape.

"This album is an exploration of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time. It reflects a feeling that returns to me every year—a yearning for a fleeting moment of happiness preserved deep within my childhood. Winter, with its silence and wonder, remains one of my earliest memories: sitting wrapped in a blanket on a sled, carried through snow-covered streets by my father.Today, I walk those same streets alone, guided by fragments of the past. Time can feel like a storm that clouds our vision and pulls us away from ourselves. Yet beneath the weight of accumulated experiences, expectations, and endless information, there remains a quiet certainty: beyond the noise, beyond the dreams and fears, lies the possibility of rediscovering who we truly are.This album is a journey through that landscape of remembrance and self-discovery."— Dmitry Polivenko

Glacial Movements, an ambient and electronic music label founded in Rome in 2006 by Alessandro Tedeschi (Netherworld), celebrates its 20th anniversary with the release of “The Hermit,” a collection of restored archival recordings from the early 2000s. These recordings, originally stored on deteriorated CD-r and Minidisc formats, were recovered and restored to reveal early experimental sounds full of mystery and emotional depth. These earliest sound experiments emerged while the Netherworld project was still evolving, years before Glacial Movements came into existence.

“I have been going through one of the most difficult periods of my life. The last two years have had a profound impact on my existence, with a succession of dark thoughts, moments of high tension, and anxiety. At times, I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Inevitably, this has had a significant impact on my professional life, on the management of Glacial Movements, and on the Netherworld project. One rainy day a few months ago, I was home alone with my three-year-old daughter Dafne. The sky was gray with clouds heavy with rain and strong storms. I was in my studio working when, at one point, Dafne started pulling my entire collection of CDs, accumulated over the years, off the shelves. They were all scattered on the floor, total chaos reigned. As I was tidying everything up, I noticed that there were some old CD-Rs and minidiscs with “2002” and “Netherworld” written on them. I had completely forgotten about these sounds... they were my first experiments, unreleased, never published and never heard by anyone, composed with very basic, low-quality equipment, but full of mystery. I used a microphone to record sounds captured from metal surfaces, broken toys, breaths, voices, and a Tibetan gong. The only synth used was the Novation A-Station rack. I realized that the physical media had deteriorated over time. Together with my friend and sound engineer Matteo Spinazzè, we carried out a lengthy process of recovering and restoring the audio files. Unfortunately, some of them were completely corrupted and therefore lost forever. However, seven of these files were made available again. Listening to them was a succession of strong emotions. Although they were made many years ago, they resonate with my current state of mind. Anguish, loneliness, darkness... I felt like a hermit, alone in the glacial vastness of my essence. The photos accompanying the artwork are very old, dating back to the first scientific explorations of the 1900s in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the planet. They were chosen and selected from the archives of museums and libraries in Sweden, Australia, and Wales. " Alessandro Tedeschi aka Netherworld
