Michael: Where do you see the future taking Arktau Eos? Should we expect another decade of releases?Īrktau Eos: Without any doubt. Then again, we can agree with Alexey Tegin from Phurpa, who is adamant that Arktau Eos – like his own group – in fact has nothing to do with music per se. Yet we have searched for a slightly better fitting description, using ‘elemental music’ on occasion, in reference to its primal origins, suggesting a step aside from the dominion of chronology to seek the eternal, while simultaneously recalling the Paracelsian tria prima and similar formulations: everything has its base in a few active elements from which things of great complexity may nevertheless be composed by skilled hands, aided by knowledge of nature’s mysterious ways. Granted, those terms are not entirely without merit and many of our listeners fall into the demographic no disrespect is intended.

Being something of lone wolves and outlaws, we have, for instance, gradually drifted apart from categories such as ‘ritual ambient’ or ‘dark ambient’. Perceived changes usually relate to matters nearly wholly external. Aesthetics evolve, ideas are fine-tuned, our technical know-how improves, but as for fundamental changes – there have been none. We are certainly still on the same trajectory. Do you see yourselves on the same trajectory, following the same ideologies and aesthetics as when the group was first formed?Īrktau Eos: First, thank you for your kind words. Michael: Arktau Eos has been an essential group in the ritual ambient scene for more than a decade. In this interview we will be discussing the future of Arktau Eos, their greater relationship (or lack thereof) with music, politics and religion, their current views on physical, digital and video formats, analysis of Eremos and its context in the Arktau Eos discography, proper setting/atmosphere for deeper listening/understanding of their music, and quite a bit more! There haven’t been a large number of interviews over the years with anyone from the Aural Hypnox / Helixes collective, though the ones available are certainly worth seeking out! So, it is with great respect and privilege that I am presenting you with this highly in-depth interview with Arktau Eos, who also have authority to, and do, speak on matters of the label at large herein. Arktau Eos, like the Aural Hypnox / Helixes collective as a whole, exudes an air of authenticity and primal energy which is unrivaled by most, I would passionately argue. They have been among the top-tier acts in many of the most revered festivals in the scene over more than a decade.

The machine lacked programming tools, but had an ancient C compiler (so old, it would accept =+ as the original form of the += operator).

Many years ago I was stranded debugging COBOL programs on a 1970s-era Perkin Elmer machine running OS/32. If a search pattern gives you too many false matches, you can filter those out, by piping the result through grep -v.

For instance, "^function_name" will often find in C code a function's definition, because these start with the name of the function at the beginning of the line. With some clever hints you can easily make grep search for a specific type of an identifier. You can also pipe results into it, and can thus enhance the utility of many tools available on site. In code it can locate what you're looking for in variables and function names, but also in comments. You can use it to search on any type code and many forms of data. Grep gives you the biggest bang for the buck.
