Blear Moon - Tundra Orchestra (2022)

Blear Moon - Tundra Orchestra

A treeless plain beyond the northern limits, a desert of winter worlds.
An eternally frozen land that does not know the waters of the seas and rivers. The tundra is ruled by strong winds, the sounds of the tundra are the rustle of low grasses, the whispering leaves of dwarf willows and birches, quiet conversations of small tiny birds.
The cautious tread of deer, jumping on the soft paws of arctic foxes, alert ears of hares in the grass, cubs playing on carpets of moss and lichens.
People do not live in the tundra, they do not build cities, only occasionally a hunter or nomads pass by, but only as guests of the tundra. The tundra is ruled by the winds.
- Anna Repman

From author:


After exhausting and anxious months, our young family settled in exile on the southwestern shores of Turkey. It took some time to mobilize and return to composing. In small steps, I returned to music and completed the project that I started last year. In it I explore methods of working with orchestral recordings arranged into long and soothing compositions.

Blear Moon - Winter journal (2020)

Blear Moon - Winter journal

Wintertime isn't like a story, it's more of an inner whirling between the higher and lower notes. Entropy slows down and on snowy forest paths, the quietening call of a future is heard. A sleeping life of the shimmering heart, soft sight journeys into the window - in the anticipation of bloom and return of color. Gentle movements and lurking stillness; and sun, the winter symbol of the steadily warming order on Earth, vanishing just to continue the way through the snow-covered wastelands.

Blear Moon - Fallow (2019)

Blear Moon - Fallow

"When Sun is hiding over horizon, letting night cover the planet, your mind set off and you want to look inside of this abyss, like clear chilling depth of lake in Urals. You don't know anymore of where is your beginning and the end - everything is woven into a tight tangle of stringy and viscous infinity. Only ghostly transparent threads of moon light pierce it to the very bottom, giving a feel of new birth..."

From Author:
This album has it's beginning in fall of 2017, after hear-breaking divorce witch lead into very ugly mental state where I was highly delusional and often experience depersonalization and feelings of my life being unreal and untrue. In a sudden bursts of energy during sleepless nights or after having a nightmare I found myself sketching melodies and producing sounds often without realizing and with no memory of it after. In the course of winter I continue to do it time-to-time and compositions started to formed. During the spring, some changes in my life turn me to the light and I decided to put my attention to mixing as it's probably was force, that was keeping me from going far insane. I keep it unpublished until beginning of 2019 for symbolical reason, as this year for me means biggest change move with the past sorrows left behind.

Blear Moon - Town Of Two Houses (2011)

Blear Moon - Town Of Two Houses

Recorded in summer of 2011, this little album happened to be my goodbye album for my previous life in my home town. This is all about sweet memories and dreams i had there and it's full of little personal sub-stories behind every song.

"Immediately noticeable is the cinematic vibe I get as each ‘scene’ (as I prefer to refer to them) blends into the other seamlessly. Shades of the incumbent winter are rampant through the release. I feel as though it is deep night, I am bitterly cold but comforted by a blanket of warmth. As the scenes grow longer towards the end of the release they become pensive and luminous" - netlabelism
