Cisfinitum is a post-industrial musical project from Moscow, Russia. It was started in late 1990s by composer and musician Eugene Voronovsky and since then has drawn significant attention as one of the most uncommon and distinctive on national experimental scene. Cisfinitum has very specific emotional sound lying within the boundaries of drone ambient and noise.

Cisfinitum's leader and inspirer Eugene Voronovsky has graduated from the Moscow State Conservatory as a professional violinist. In his music he uses classical instruments such as violin, piano and percussion along with the sounds traditionally considered "non-musical", like sound of mechanical coffee grinder or dying man's breath, all of this subjected to thorough processing, in which both Soviet analog tools and modern digital processing technologies are used. That's why Cisfinitum can be called the industrial-ambient reading of academic music.

"Cisfinitum is the sound of eternity. I've always wanted to create the music of Russian cosmos, music capable of expressing information about Russia that is impossible to reveal by means of words. They call this 'drone' overseas, but I prefer to define it 'metaphysical ambient'", claims Eugene.
