400 Lonely Things
Why I Went To The Woods
With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…
Creature Comforts
I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…
Codex of Pleasure and Pain

Subdivisions, the latest album from 400 Lonely Things, marks a departure from the project's conceptual and thematic approac…
Mother Moon
The new album from 400 Lonely Things, produced by William Basinski, is a dark ambient, sample-based séance to the Banning Mill -- a real-life decaying "mansion" and haven for artists, freaks, and misfits in the backwoods of the American Deep South in the 1970s-1990s -- and an extraordinary piece of art that lived there. An archaeological excursion in found sound -- wandering through the art and memory of a real place, Mother Moon is an origin story for 400 Lonely Things. In the '90s, Craig Varia…
Nigths and Profecy
**Edition of 200** Zombies lurk throughout the post-industrial abstractions and radiantly murky collages of Nigths and Profecy - an 80 minute split release from Fossil Aerosol Mining Project and 400 Lonely Things.
Fossil Aerosol has a long history with zombies. Or perhaps more specifically, with the contexts that fostered zombies during the 1970s and 1980s. Of particular interest was the imagined, and then realized, ruins of contemporary society - often populated with artificial corpses. One of …
