Like personal memories, music leaves us with unfulfilled dreams.
They are the secret gifts we received from history which shine through the remains of their demise. They bear a promise:

The possibility to begin, to destroy and to carry on
without cynicism yet with strategy
without defeatism even after defeat.

Here and there, flowers have grown even behind the enemy lines. Through music we can be reminded of this.

American Dark Ambient sound sculptor AJNA returns with his latest full-length work, New Revelations of Being, an eleven-track descent into the abyss of human psyche and metaphysical dread. Following his acclaimed Cyclic Law releases, this new opus draws direct inspiration from the fevered writings of Antonin Artaud’s Artaud 1937 Apocalypse.

With New Revelations of Being, AJNA channels Artaud’s fragmented visions of destruction, renewal, and transcendence through a vast palette of subterranean drones, spectral resonances, and suffocating atmospherics. Each track unfolds like a psychic document, blurring the line between revelation and delirium, guiding the listener into haunted states where words dissolve into vibration and consciousness is unmoored from form.

At once oppressive and illuminating, the album furthers AJNA’s ongoing exploration of the boundaries of perception, death, and rebirth. Dense textures coil and fracture into hidden harmonics, mirroring Artaud’s own descent into madness as a vessel for ecstatic truth.

New Revelations of Being cements AJNA as one of the foremost practitioners of the Dark Ambient tradition, offering not just music but a transformative experience, a ritual in sound that demands surrender.

CD Edition of 300 copies in 4 panel Digipak. 11 Tracks. Running Time 69:10

when the waves of silence break
on the dharma nomad's sitting mind
the daylight sleeper's nagual wakes
for a body of the idle kind

that speaks in riddles, muted rhymes
and labrythene paths of jesting Joyce
where assonance stands guard and chimes
in onomatopoeic trysts

for rivers run and waters foam
and dogs are dogs of many heads
no dwellings last where prospects roam
and liquid hope permits no rest

and the knowledge of the miserly
cannot withstand the yearly flooding force
and can and will and is not allowed to atrophy
as long as eight blurred legs still make a horse

ah burning barnacles to make light
of tonal drylands and bold vertebrates
bridges? yes, bridges burn for ashes' flight
and sparks and bioluminosity and microtonal clefs

for those who walk the open scalar fields
have guns that glow and minds to blow
for those who raft down rapid vector creeks
having dreams to grow and seeds to sow -

the scalar fields part 10: Vector creek with Jo Richter

In 2016, my wife and I completed a residency at the Centro Mexicano para la Música y Artes Sonoras (CMMAS). During this time, we started to explore ways in which a melodic theme, initially performed on the piano, might be transformed using electroacoustic resources to produce series of variations. This piece takes one of these themes, initially created at CMMAS, and presents three new variations, interspersed with two noise-based interludes. In doing so, it offers an unambiguous exploration of theme and variation, and thus associates the formal arrangement of materials with music of past eras.
