Concrete Dreams — Soviet Liminal Spaces & Ambient

Post-Soviet1 track

This is a six-movement ambient album set against post-Soviet interior visuals: empty corridors, tiled swimming pools, schools after hours, kitchens at midnight. The sound design moves from Wistful and Reminiscent (early movements) through more cinematic dread by the end (The Day the World Stood Still). It sits at the intersection of liminal space TikTok aesthetics and the broader brutalist ambient scene that grew around it.

Liminal space content has the strange property of being relaxing and unsettling at the same time. The visual half of this works on me harder than the audio does. Empty pools especially. I leave it on as a long-form piece you commit to rather than something you dip in and out of.
