Vortex is a dark ambient ritual-project – founded in 2008 – by the musician Marcus Stiglegger, created after the end of his first band :Golgatha: (Cold Meat Industry). With organic field recordings, ethno percussions, guitar layers (by Oliver Freund of apocalyptic folk band Mars) and dark drones Vortex delivers unique cinematic soundscapes.Vortex is known for a very cinematic and epic arrangement of acoustic and electronic sounds, creating a tense soundtrack for the ‘inner cinema’. This musical reflection on mythology is used as a metaphor for a portrait of our present world out of balance. Vortex creates its very own ‘mythopoeia’ – combined with stunning visuals.Vortex has released 6 full albums so far on the Franco-Canadian label Cyclic Law. Forthcoming is a collaborative album with German-Greek ritual outing Nam-khar as well as a soundtrack for the silent film HÄXAN (1922), planned for its 100th anniversary in 2022.
