Fly By Night
Artist's notes: "Originally disseminated as a digital-only release on my now dormant label Pink Pamphlet in 2014, ‘Fly By Night’ now gets a proper release via the Stockholm label Thanatosis Produktion. Since my early 20s the electric guitar has been a constant companion and assistant in my compositional work. Although I'm a much better pianist than guitarist, I've often found my relatively poor “fretboard awareness” to be a valuable asset in terms of focussing my intuitive hearing away from my m…
Vending Machine

The two being friends since several years, making music gradually became a way of spending more time together. Their way of collaborating began after several years of talking about doing so and sharing and discussing music …
Alone... Forever
*In process of stocking* Imagine waking up and discovering everyone you thought you knew was someone else all along, and they have all deceived you and stabbed you in the back.

You are now standing by yourself, alone, looking out over the nothing that was once your home town. The only place to run and hide is inside your own mind. So you make…

*In process of stocking* This is not your typical noise album. Harsher palette familiar from previous Mogao releases has been put momentarily aside. Approach now is more intimate with two lingering tracks painting the picture of abandoned landscape, where the flock of electronic birds are swimming amongst the analog warmth of broken piano ambience, echoing the names of Brian Eno and David Tudor in mind. And this is the painting you can touch, feeling all the rough textures and cracks in the canv…
