Organum
Sanctus
The first album in a trilogy of new material, Sanctus represents the new architecture of the Organum sound. Recorded utilizing an implicit graphic score, the album is comprised of four discrete parts, each a variant of the others. These are not parts as in a movement or continuation of the composition, but rather four distinct audio canvases that represent a continuum of the elements at large. Composed in the spirit of the early Organum material, David Jackman has resurrected the droned-based, p…
Omega
The third and final part of the Organum trilogy that started with »Sanctus« (Robot Records - RR35) and »Amen« (Die Stadt - DS95). »Omega« is a further continuation of the first two parts. »While The Stars Be Not Darkened«. First edition of 600 copies in digipack sleeve. Collecting music for the sake of collecting is not something I am very keen. Music hearing for the sake of hearing music, that is what I like. There are a few artists whose new works I usually try to get, and Organum is one of th…
Ein schwärzeres Schwarz
The two tracks featured here are a further development from the Die letzte Musik vor dem Krieg 7" (DS70) using the new work with piano sounds and it's one of the best works of Organum yet in our opinion. Edition of 500.
Die letzte Musik vor dem Krieg
Two brand new pieces from 2003. Piano on side A and Tibetan horns on side B add new sound colours to the classic Organum drones. Edition of 500 copies.
Tocsin - 6 Thru +2
Following their maxi CD »Tinnitus Vu« on Touch in 2004 »Tocsin« is the first full lenght album produced together by these two renowned sound artists. Whereas »Tinnitus VU« was mostly the result of Z'ev reworking material by Jackman, »Tocsin« is the result of the artists agreeing to meet and work together in the studio. They created and recorded sounds from a piano (which can be found at RMS Studios London) and a stainless steel instrument (built by Z'ev circa 1989), over the course of several ho…
Veil of Tears
A collection of recent tracks, recorded by the Organum core of David Jackman, Michael Prime, Dinah Jane Rowe and Jim O'Rourke; further mastering of sound cluster presentation and development.

Amen, Unto the Aeon of Aeons, is a work of two parts using: grand piano, Hammond organ, tower bell, gong and voices. The CD is pressed in a first edition of 600 copies in digipack.'
Vacant lights - Rara avis
one of his all time favourite works by David Jackman, in combination with a second CD comprising of five unreleased or hard to find tracks entitled »Rara Avis«. David Jackman, active since the late sixties as a member of THE SCRATCH ORCHESTRA and later with many solo works and under the name ORGANUM with changing line-up's, was supported on these recordings by some of the main collaborator's during this Organum phase: Dinah Jane Rowe, Jim O'Rourke, Eddie Prevost (AMM), Christoph Heemann (H.N.A.S…
Die Hennen Zähne
**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
