Tineidae & Burma Project – Reports From Isul (Digital/CD Album – Cryo Chamber)
This album is the result of a collaboration between Pavlo Storonsky (Tineidae) and the lesser-known Marcin Burminski (Burma Project). It is rooted in a conceptual narrative—an unearthed, long-buried society suddenly exposed to the world.
Musically, this vision inspired the duo to craft an intricate and deeply immersive work—perhaps more a secretive alliance than a mere collaboration. Positioned between Dark-Ambient and Cinematic soundscapes, the album unfolds with meticulous precision. A rich palette of Electronic textures, effects, and analog space sounds interweaves with haunting string arrangements. Subtle, slow-paced rhythms occasionally surface, adding an enticing dynamic to the experience.
Far from feeling like a mere side project, this release stands as a mature, well-conceived production where each exceptional track seamlessly flows into the next, captivating listeners from start to finish. (Rating:8).

About Tineidae & Burma Project
Tineidae is the project of Ukrainian artist Pavlo Storonsky, based in Poland. Storonsky debuted with “Lights” on Tympanik Audio in 2012, working in an IDM-influenced style before moving toward Ambient and Cinematic sound as part of the Cryo Chamber roster. Storonsky has said “Reports From Isul” began during Covid lockdown after Burma Project reached out to him, developing the collaboration into the concept album that resulted.
