Gruwel
Business card CDr. "It was about time that I released a business card CDr again. I also had this drawing which I thought would work great as a cover image. The only thing I had to do is make the music for it. So here it is. It turned out a bit dramatic, stylistically, with desolate fog horn like swells and faint electronic rumblings. It's all quite sombre, but with all the horrible conflicts in the world today, what else could I do?"

Sacred Hiss / Ghost Oracle
2006 release ** Cardboard sleeve. The project Uton was started by Jani Hirvonen in Tampere, Finland in 2001. Uton is a spirit, which has no form, but which can take a form if it likes; usually in a sound - which can be found from the Uton releases. The sound and energy is produced and manifested with the help of human; collaborating with our earthly vibrations. From the beginning the sound has been strongly experimental and improvised, but the methods of doing has been changed between the album…

Search Ensembles
2015 release ** "The Search Ensembles is a collaborative work, not so much a working group as it is a concept where many people contribute recordings to. Initiated by an/OAR founder Dale Lloyd, the Search Ensembles is a collection of old field recordings and new studio recordings that are intended to be sonic voyages to unexplored places, past and present, mysterious and evocative. They are abstract field recordings, aural textures of alien fields and landscapes that have traces of familiar trib…
Mnemonic Induction
2015 release ** "Given their separate history as masters of droning atmospherics, and their mutual admiration for each others work, a collaboration seemed only natural. Now, after years of discussion, Mnemonic Induction has finally materialized, resulting (not surprisingly) in one of the greatest, most mind bending works of dark ambient ever. A 60 plus minute exploration through nebulous, grey areas of the mind-expansive drones and spiraling vortex of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted…

Unknown Language
2010 release ** "Between bedroom and cyberspace, star fields and samples, the infinite measure of a minimalist journey through electronics with awareness and low-fi style, circling technology and absorbing its rhythmic essence. Like in old science fiction films, listening to "Unknown Language" is a journey through circuits and future realities, MIDI and laptops, video games and unexplored depths, where each track reproduces itself with multiple sounds and effects until reaching an hour of music,…

Bio-Mechanik. Aural tribute to the art of H.R. Giger
Few artists have captured the unsettling beauty of the fusion between flesh and machine as hauntingly as Hans Ruedi Giger. His biomechanical visions, cathedrals of bone and chrome, embryonic nightmares suspended in steel wombs, eroticism bound in cold circuitry, have etched themselves into the collective unconscious. Giger unveiled a world that feels eerily familiar, as if drawn from the depths of a shared ancestral dream or a post-human future already unfolding.

Useza
In English, the Shona word "Useza" means someone of great skill, meticulousness, and precision, and it perfectly illuminates Sekuru Chaka Chawasarira's lifelong practice. The eminent Zimbabwean artist and educator is among the last remaining masters of the matepe, a large mbira-style instrument that's played with both thumbs and index fingers to expand its rhythmelodic complexity. And on 'Useza', he fully demonstrates the matepe's illusory potential, overdubbing hypnotic sequences to provoke shi…
Mesmerine 111
Illustrious Company presents... Mesmerine 111. This is a 3D soundscape based on / inspired by the frequency 111Hz, which has been historically and scientifically proven to induce a trance-like state. Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporarily switches from left to right-sided dominance, which is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a t…
B side
Shadows fold into colour. Memory dissolves into noise. You brush up against the walls of the mind. Touch is soft as breath. On ‘B-Side’, Areliz Ramos follows her work’s current into its more “fantastic and elusive… and even romantic” side; a place where fantasy loosens the bolts of reality and memory, and emotion is alluringly refracted into musical collages and loose-strung compositions. Across the album, voices drift in and out of an intimate space, while pensive guitar lines stumble and bloom…
