Ghost Maze

A 2 hour dark soundscape album recorded by over 20 ambient artists to pay tribute to H.P. Lovecraft.

Come swim in the darkest oceans, where squirming sea snakes dance in fractal patterns to rebirth eternal bliss.

"Upon the melting sands, the black rush of the effluvium—the dismal pallor of acerbic portents, from subaquatic smelts that prefigure Time. The liquid aftermath of early-world mayhem spills from the cracks of the sunken Earth, evolving between eons of quiet rancour, emerging in sudden bursts of craving for the defining disorder of Dagon's will.

It is the same eruption that laid waste to the forgotten cities in the Age of Dawning. The same that swallowed the metal ships of the Bermudan triangulum and razed the toiling enigmas of Kush. It is the same that spawns the monsters of the broken underworlds, where Dagon's legions loiter in the cruel mantle." - Excerpt from Digibook

So is this a compilation?
No, this is a collaboration and huge undertaking. Over 20 artists linked studios and sound for over a year so that they could work with each other. This led to a deep collaborative exploration of the Mythos and Dagon

2 CD album comes in a Deluxe 20 page Hard cover DigiBook. Artwork is served on Matte Laminated pages that makes the colors deep and preserved. Journal written by Alistair Rennie, art by Simon Heath. Digital booklet included with download.

Hymn to Lucifer

Langham Research Centre's 2005 collaboration with Peter Blegvad explores isolation, as the protagonist attempts to break the world record for the length of time spent in an isolation tank. The programme features radiophonic sound made on reel-to-reel tape, and readings by Nick Cave. Broadcast in BBC Radio 3's Between The Ears strand.

Guest+Host=Ghost - full programme

Langham Research Centre pay tribute to a composer who has had a significant impact on their work. Pierre Henry contributed meaningfully to the idea that all and any sounds are material for making music and the way he did this can be heard in the music of the LRC. Collage, superimposition, hard jump cuts and sudden intense clashes all feature. Also important is the use of electronic sound. Henry’s colleague Pierre Schaeffer disapproved of sources that he didn’t consider to be natural sound. Pierre Henry embraced electronic as well as concrete sounds.

Commissioned by BBC Radio 3's Late Junction, this homage is in the form of a musique concrète suite comprising five movements: 1. The Cuckoo Bird 2. Little Pagan Rites 3. Communion et la Mort 4. Nematode Worms 5. Tokyo Demolition. 

The starting point for this homage was a wide selection of Pierre Henry’s work including Symphonie pour un Homme Seul, Le Voyage, Messe de Liverpool, Une Tour de Babel and Tokyo 2000.
