Manifesting as Atrax Morgue
*300 copies limited edition* "I hate covers. I have never heard a cover version that outshines the original recording. Thus, it is a mystery why I did this. Being me it makes no sense. I have always enjoyed Marco Corbelli´s work and while all of it is not to my liking there is always something unmistakably special about it. I really got sucked in by his Mörder Machine project, but the last few years I have been listening a lot more to Atrax Morgue.
Sometimes when I was a bit out of ideas in the …

Autodidact
"I recorded the bulk of this record over a weekend in January 2018, in the midst of a very minor breakdown that was to last for prettymuch the entire year. I was living in a big house all on my own, smoking too much and not really seeing any people. Happy days indeed. It was tracked in the back room of 97 Hambledon Road, Middlesbrough using two questionable microphones, a broken HH 100 amp, my friends drums and a Tascam DP08 (that wasn't to see the year out, RIP 2009-2018) When I was done, Robbi…

Monooto
Monooto represents a genuine encounter with objects. The whispers of countless items draw us into an unfamiliar realm, directing our ears toward the shadows where they reside. This is the emerging music genre known as “monooto”. Interestingly, the Japanese term “mono” (もの), meaning “thing” or “object,” carries a subtle eeriness. According to the Nihon Kokugo Daijiten, “mono” can also denote deities, spirits, or objects of fear and reverence, including ghosts and vengeful spirits. Terms like "mon…
