Age of Aether is not just an album. It is a mystical journey through time before time, where sound meets the primordial silence, and absolute void pulses with the first breath of existence. Across ten instrumental tracks — each represented by a sonic composition and a visual expression — we are guided through the stages of the Aether’s awareness, from its untouched state to the moment silence is broken and creation becomes inevitable.
The work concludes as a complete cycle: we begin with absolute nothingness and end with the birth of the many. From the One came the Two, the Chaos, the Will, and finally the Cry. There is no return to the original state. The Aether has changed — and with it, all that is yet to be.
Below is a description of each of the 10 video tracks from the album, acting as visual portals into this universe before light.
01 – Primordiable
The video takes us to the moment before existence. An entirely black screen pulses subtly in its center, as if the universe is trying to breathe for the first time. A nearly invisible luminous particle expands slowly, evoking the Aether’s first whisper. Minimalist, ethereal, and filled with mystery.
02 – Darkness
Light recedes. The Shadow is born. This video features dark mist flowing in slow waves, with dense patches and almost liquid textures, creating a hypnotic and meditative scene. It’s the silent presence of darkness — not as evil, but as sacred balance.
03 – Light Unseen
Still not shining, the light whispers. Here we see a translucent energy spiral moving in the dark, trying to find form. Soft reflections, golden particles, and violet-blue tones compose this invisible yet deeply alive scene.
04 – Dream of Duality
In this video, light and darkness dance. Two streams — one golden and one black — intertwine in space, forming curves, spirals, and light collisions in a cosmic ballet. It is the Aether’s daydream as it imagines it could be more than one.
05 – Slumber
The Aether falls asleep. The image slows. A dark chamber appears, filled with particles floating like interstellar dust in perfect stillness. Gentle tones, soft undulations, and a dreamlike atmosphere set the stage for the birth of worlds.
06 – FISSURE
Tension explodes. The video shows a crack of light slicing through the blackness, opening a living rift of energy. Fragments scatter in all directions. This is the first collapse — the moment the Aether can no longer contain the universe within itself.
07 – Essence
From the shards of Fracture, Essences emerge. The screen fills with vibrational forms, pulsing cores that rise, multiply, and move as if searching for identity. A symbolic, moving video that captures the gestation of the multiple.
08 – The Last Dream of Aether
The Aether dreams one final time. A deeper, more daring dream. A vortex of energy spins slowly, cosmic sparks leaking outward. Silver tones, deep blue, and pure white dominate the scene. It is the prelude to the birth of the Gods — and the farewell of the One to itself.
09 – Awaken
The awakening begins. The video shows blasts of light erupting from a central point, as if the Aether is silently screaming. Voice fragments become form. A soft yet definitive explosion breaks through the cosmic landscape.
10 – When Silence Broke
Here, everything changes. Silence no longer exists. The video displays particles, energy lines, galaxies in formation, and stellar cores vibrating in sync, as if the universe is saying its first word. This is the birth of narrative — the beginning of story.
The Closing of the First Cycle
With When Silence Broke, the first great phase of the Rafandria mythology comes to an end. The Aether is no longer the same. It is now source, memory, and witness. And from the trails left by its pulses, the Gods, the stars, the constellations, and destinies will be born.
Age of Aether is, above all, an invitation to contemplation. A dive into the invisible. An experience where the absence of words is filled with profound meaning. A work where every sound, every image, is a fragment of the absolute beginning.
And in the end, one truth remains:
The universe did not begin with a scream.
It began with a whisper no one heard…
until the silence was broken.
