This Celestial Engine

This Celestial Engine, an exciting new project that fuses the talents of three remarkable musicians from diverse musical backgrounds, announce the release of their debut album in January 2024. Featuring the extraordinary lineup of drummer Ted Parsons (Swans, Prong, Godflesh, Killing Joke, Jesu), bassist Dave Sturt (Gong, Steve Hillage Band, Bill Nelson), and keyboardist Roy Powell (InterStatic, Anthony Braxton, Mumpbeak with Bill Laswell), the album delivers a unique blend of experimental ambient avant-jazz rock improvisation.

Hailing from various corners of the globe, these seasoned musicians found their creative synergy in the vibrant city of Oslo, Norway, where they united their talents to form This Celestial Engine. The resulting collaboration has given birth to a sound that is nothing short of otherworldly, transcending the boundaries of conventional music genres.

Ted Parsons, a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music, brings his extensive experience to the project. Having contributed his powerful drumming to iconic bands such as Swans, Prong, Godflesh, Killing Joke, and Jesu, Parsons' rhythmical prowess is an integral part of This Celestial Engine's sonic landscape.
