DJ MAG: "10-track trip through glowing ambience, mesmerising dream pop, musique concrète and deconstructed trance."
Inverted Audio: "Eilien weaves a web of entrancing harmonies and deep frequencies, along with the angelic musicality of their voice, aligning the album somewhere on a 5th-dimension parallel with early electronic pioneers, with smatterings of folk songwriting influence dotted into the futuristic ambient production."
The Quietus: "Virman created these tracks using a text-based audio coding platform, but the real story is the sweeping allure Virman's compositions have. 'There Is Someone Who Looks Like Me' sounds like the exact midway point between Enya and Holly Herndon, a strident love song to the digital ether, while 'Blue Skies' and 'SMS' come across like synthetic odes to synthetic panoramas."

KOHTULAULU (2018)
a 360° dance film
A pregnant dancer contemplates the nature of expecting life to be born and the pregnant body’s relationship to the harmony inside of the dancing body.
Baby’s first contact with a tightly embracing, big and mysterious being is as much a mystery as the dancer’s relationship to the budding life inside.
The soundscape is created from the authentic sounds recorded through the dancer's pregnant belly and dancer's voice as well as the voice of the baby, who was born after the filming.
