Winter Songs released 20 December 2010 The album cover is a snapshot from the movie "Stranger Than Paradise" directed by Jim Jarmusch.	ellilan.jpg This is a little side-project I've been working on. It's a collection of electronic songs for an imaginary video game. It's inspired by game soundtracks from different console generations (especially Megaman) and some other electronic artists.
I Wish I Would Never Wake Up.jpg Another re-release, although it's mostly the same as the original version. The only major differences being the vocals and some new tracks. Lyrics were also often improvised and nonsensical	Good Memories Are The Hardest To Keep .jpg A full length album. Was playing around with different styles here. Some of the lyrics were improvised on the spot and parts of them are complete nonsense. This is a re-release. The original version had a couple more tracks and different vocals. You can probably track down the original pretty easily on blogs and file sharing sites, if you want to get it.
untitled.jpg An EP that was very heavily influenced by 80's post-punk/goth. Almost a tribute at some parts. released 13 March 2011 The album cover is a snapshot taken from the movie "Werckmeister Harmonies."	Day After Day, Year After Year, When Will It End.jpg An EP originally released as an exclusive for the boxset.
split-SDE:WOUNDER.jpg A digital release of a split that's been in the works since August/September 2011. Physical release coming soon-ish. (The album cover is probably not final and may be replaced) released 17 February 2012 Thanks to Leon for participating. You can find more of his music here : wounder.bandcamp.com Thanks to Toshadeva Palani for the picture used as the album cover and making a music video for one of the songs featured on the split. You can find it and more of his works here : toshadeva.palani.	Transition To White.jpg Originally released in 2009 under the name Fuschia. This is my very first attempt at guitar-based music. It's extremely amateur-ish, but it holds a special place in my heart.
Pop Songs For The Suicidal.jpg A compilation of spontaneous synthpop songs. released 03 July 2011	sounds of desolation.jpg The digital release of my new full length album. The cover will most likely be changed for the physical release (whenever that will happen). released 04 July 2012 The sample in "Anxiety" is taken from the film "The Man Who Wasn't There" by the Coen Brothers.
demos.jpg A bunch of rough demos of songs I made a long time ago and decided to release for some reason. released 13 July 2010	autumn songs.jpg released 05 October 2011 Thanks to Andrew for the awesome drawing that I've used for the album cover. You can check out his other drawings here : trillou.deviantart.com The sample used in "Eternal Silence" is from a lecture on death by Alan Watts.
End of Hope.jpg A full length album that was made in a very short period of time. Features heavy sample abuse. released 03 November 2010 Most of the samples used throughout are taken from the movie "Waking Life". "Grey Summer" features a very short sample from "Ghost World". "A Sad Song" features a sample from a lecture I've found on youtube somewhere, but I can't remember what was the name of it right now. If you know, please message me and I'll add it here	a static life.jpg Here's a pretty short album I've been working on very, very slowly ever since Sounds of Desolation came out. released 22 June 2013
Apathy and Hopelessness.jpg Untitled part 2, in a way. A lot of 80's post-punk influence. released 23 April 2011 The cover art is another painting by Kaethe Kollwitz.	3 way split.jpg A three way drone/ambient/minimal split with a couple of buds. released 03 December 2011 Thanks to Benji and Nathan for participating. Here are their pages : greyskylullabies.bandcamp.com soundcloud.com/greenarbor
The Sunshine Always Fades .jpg A lot of post-rocky slowcore influence here. The first version of this had fewer tracks. released 01 April 2011 The album cover is a painting by Kaethe Kollwit	All Things Come And Go, But We Won't Break.jpg An EP that was made under a heavy influence of post-punk and more upbeat shoegaze. released 01 March 2011 The title is a reference to Gregor Samsa. Taken from the lyrics of "Jeroen Van Aken". The album cover is a slightly edited photo by Zdzislaw Beksinski.
