“I see nobody on the road” said Alice.
“I only wish I had such eyes” the king remarked in a fretful tone. “To be able to see nobody! And at that distance too! Why it’s as much as I can do to see real people by this light!”
- Lewis Carroll

“Genius is no more than childhood recaptured at will, childhood equipped now with man’s physical means to express itself, and with the analytical mind that enables it to bring order into the sum of experience, involuntarily amassed.”
- Baudelaire

Epoch Collapse is an experimental electronic & electro-acoustic music & audio-visual/multi-media project of composer/artist Dariusz Roberte.

Epoch Collapse is not affiliated within any particular movement or trend in music or media, though their music or sound art could be categorised or described as ‘symphonic sound-scape’, ‘dark-wave’, ‘dark-ambient’, ‘electronic avant-garde’, ‘space-rock’, ‘film score music’ etcetera. The compositions involve a fair degree of multi-layering and textural complexity which has almost become a musical trademark.
