Über Artaud
After forty years, the enigmatic Italian collective Capricorni Pneumatici's lost opus, Über Artaud, finally emerges complete. Originally conceived in 1987 as an electronic sonorization of Antonin Artaud's censored 1947 radio work "Pour En finir avec le Jugement de Dieu", this mysterious project showcases masterful use of FM synthesis via the iconic Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, creating dark ritualistic soundscapes akin to Throbbing Gristle and Nurse With Wound.

Mutual Consuming
Relay For Death is the noise project of the twin sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula. Their hermetic works consistently reflect a bleak nihilism, all the while carving an autonomous space for survival as the rest of the existence crumbles. Previous works have been published by Hanson, No Rent, Total Black, and RRRecords.
The twins offered the consideration that "Mutual Consuming comes from a concept in the philosophies that underpin traditional Chinese medicine theory, where the two opposing sta…

We Who Live Under Heaven
'We Who Live Under Heaven’ - it is a phrase from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Through software transformations, the music freezes and in some cases fossilises some mostly old recordings. The text for the track 'The Clouds Are Not Inaccessible' is from a letter written by James Joyce's daughter Lucia in the 1930's to her psychiatrist. Spoken by Mary Costelloe.
The album consists of 8 immersive ambient tracks played solo by Roger on keyboards in his home studio in Co Wicklow, Ireland.
