‘The Day of Life Forgotten,’ the experimental electronics net-label, have released black-sided sun’s latest album ‘Summa Timorum’ (The Sum of Fears).

As per label’s message:

‘Dark ambient, post-industrial, experimental electronics. New album by black-sided sun delivers exceptionally dark and precisely detailed sound scape. An epic, and hopeless, sound canvas, both startling and attracting at the same time.’

LP was recorded June-September 2025. Voices were generated with Vital software synthesizer and online text-to-speech service luvvoice.com. Other than – and a fragment of AI generated muzak in track 2 – no AI was involved.

A significant portion of these sounds were built up from scratch in Surge XT. I have contributed them to Surge XT development team.
