An Original 'N'otion Picture Soundtrack by Keith Richie

When a family moves from the quiet suburbs of Downey, California to a remote farmhouse in Texas, they hope for peace and renewal. What they find instead is something far older and more sinister—an unseen force tethered to the land, festering in the silence, unraveling their sanity one thread at a time.

As unease gives way to full-blown horror, they are pulled into a waking nightmare where perception fractures, trust dissolves, and reality becomes twisted beyond recognition. At the center of it all is a malevolent entity—Mister Stichs—a presence that doesn’t merely haunt but hunts.

This cinematic concept album is a dark ambient descent into psychological terror, merging vintage synth horror with modern sound design. Drawing influence from John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, and the haunting landscapes of classic suspense scores, Mister Stichs delivers an unsettling, immersive experience built on analog textures, spectral atmospheres, and emotionally resonant melodies.

With chilling ambience, bursts of dread, and fleeting glimpses of fragile beauty, Mister Stichs is not just a soundtrack—it’s a sonic horror story.

Critical Praise:

“A sophisticated and unrelenting journey into darkness.”
— Ben Dugas, ZoneMusicReporter.com

“Mister Stichs is impressively reminiscent of a John Carpenter film score, and it evokes the spirit of Tangerine Dream. With masterful use of vintage and modern synths, and suspenseful, surround-like effects, Keith Richie proves once again that he ranks among today’s finest electronic composers.”
— Candice Michelle, Journeyscapes Radio

TREMOR - THE NEW ALBUM - 31.10.25

Pre-order: https://danielavery.ffm.to/tremor-store

Revered producer and composer Daniel Avery returns with a new album and live show, his most ambitious works to date. Channelling every corner of his sound, Tremor is a bold and transportive body of work through euphoric shoegaze, submerged techno, ambient soundscape and industrial bliss. It remains unmistakably Avery, yet dramatically evolved.


With the album Avery has welcomed an inspiring cast of collaborators, including the likes of Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand / Rival Schools), bdrmm, Julie Dawson (NewDad), yeule, Ellie, Art School Girlfriend, yunè pinku, and Cecile Believe. Each artist leaves their indelible mark, yet the record’s true power lies in the communal spirit at its core.

“This is a living and breathing collective,” says Avery. “Since the earliest recordings, Tremor felt like a studio in the sky, a space in time through which we could all pass as artists”, he reflects. “It’s the welcoming spirit of acid house with the doors flung open wider still to allow in every influence from my musical journey: the warmth of distortion, the stillness inside intensity, the transcendental beauty of noise... They have always been there in my music but now it feels like those ideas are being transmitted in Technicolor. This is a record for the post-rave comedown kids, the guitar heads and anyone else who wants to come along for the ride. Everyone is welcome.”

Tremor will be released by Avery’s new home of Domino on 31st October.
