The incident
The incident is conceived as a sonic storyboard, a labyrinthine, narrative-driven 'pseudo musical' - using comical sonic touches and startling, idiosyncratic abstractions to reflect the era's flustering absurdity. divided into 4 chapters, the first part ('let the record show'), ponders upon the end of the information age - as we stumble on to an age of corroboration and mutual witnessing...observe, acknowledge, transform, throw back - and reality getting replaced by its representation. 'the curr…
The Blind Sublime
Andrew Ostler’s fifth album for the Expert Sleepers label continues his trajectory away from a sound largely based on synthesizers towards orchestral textures and heavily processed saxophone. Building on the string arrangements of his previous LP “Dots on a Disk of Snow”, and taking a heavy dose of sax drone from the earlier “Four Drones for Saxophone and Modular Synthesizer”, this record also adds a full choir, taking the music to another level of spiritual intensity.
The first side of the LP p…

Two Butterflies Went Out At Noon
*50 copies limited edition* While taking a nap and it leads me into very, very deep paths of consciousness, transforming our paradoxical sleep into an accumulation of misty layers which sometimes offers clearings of pastoral dazzlement. We go back to the surface then we dive back. We cannot see at a meter like in a fog of physically palpable density which would have the power to transport us without moving.
Samuel says about his influences : I’m very influenced by film and visuals specifically. …

Watson Is In Heaven Now
*50 copies limited edition* Watson was my Dog, we had him from a puppy, he chose us and can be heard through out these recordings. If you listen carefully you’ll hear him sniffing microphones, squeaking toys and barking in the garden. All caught whilst recording the different instruments that layers and weave themselves into the palettes that make the up the pieces. I even captured his breathing on my lap the last time he laid there. Some of the recordings started life over 30 years ago and with…

To The Moon And Back
Lunatic soundscapes, floating voices, distorted noises, trumpets and marching rhythms.
The flow of the river is ceaseless, and yet its water is never the same, while along the still pools foam floats, never stay long.

Folded Into Boundaries
Folded Into Boundaries is the latest release from Darren McClure, a collection of eight immersive compositions crafted between the summer of 2023 and the winter of 2024 in Matsumoto, Japan. Nestled within a basin and encircled by the towering Japanese Alps—mountains formed by the slow collision of tectonic plates—Matsumoto’s striking topography deeply influenced both the album’s title and sonic direction.
McClure employs a dynamic interplay of sound erosion and texture, where layers of asymmetri…
Schining
*2025 stock* "Music and musical releases can be controversial for many reasons. Lyrical content, shocking covers, too loud, too quiet: David Jackman’s music is controversial for none of these reasons. His music isn’t noisy or silent, with no lyrical content or a shocking cover. I am not on any discussion group online and never was, but I can imagine a discussion with the topic: “Is David Jackman doing the same thing over and over again?”. I don’t know the answer, but I can guess. We can say the …
Scilence
David Jackman / Organum unveils a new chapter in his exploration of monumental, shifting sound structures with this latest release on Die Stadt. Picking up where works like Flames of Fire left off, the artist continues his singular journey into the alchemy of resonance and time, crafting immersive experiences that hover between density and dissolution, weight and weightlessness. The first disc draws the listener in with the familiar Organum signature—a thick, metallic drone humming with harmonic…
Flames Of Fire
David Jackman (Organum) presents "Flames of Fire", a mesmerizing 47-minute composition titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The piece unfolds with a metallic hum, evoking the resonant vibrations of a sitar, before dissolving into vast, shimmering drones that stretch into infinity. Departing from his work as Organum Electronics, this recording embraces a more organic sound while retaining subtle electronic textures. A sinuous, undulating tone weaves through the composition, …
Steadfast
This is the seventh and last release in the Die Stadt CD series. Even though David Jackman gets the credit in the title, the music itself is pure Organum electronics—dense, noisy, and exactly what fans would expect. Emerging as a meditative gesture within the long and enigmatic arc of David Jackman’s output, Steadfast stands as both a summation and a deepening of concerns that have occupied him for decades. Issued as a double CD by Die Stadt, the release captures Jackman—best known for his work …

Decomposition: Fox on a Highway
While working a job that required frequent drives between Philadelphia and a remote warehouse to sort furniture, Brendan Principato, the artist behind the project Saapato, noticed a fox on the side of the highway that had been struck dead by a car. Its vibrant red coat stood out against the asphalt. Day after day, the fox remained there, gradually transitioning from serene lifelessness to an unrecognizable state, a haunting reminder of nature’s cyclical processes.
