in 1241 Krakow, Poland was burned to the ground under seige, but not before a tower guard could sound a warning with his trumpet allowing families to flee. This five note Polish bugle call is called the Hejnal Mariacki.

So It Was

Soft Departure is a piece born from the need to preserve the inner fire in an environment where relational and professional dynamics tend to wear it down. It explores the gesture of quiet withdrawal, not dramatic, not reactive, simply the choice to stop investing where energy no longer flows. Built around a warm, enveloping bass played on my Crave, the track acts as a guiding thread through a soundscape that can be unstable at times. It evokes the act of staying present without being pulled in. A form of inner persistence in a noisy world. This is a work of conscious disengagement, a way of saying: “I’m still here, but I’m no longer playing the game.”  Soft Departure is also a tribute to those who choose to leave without noise, to step away without war, and to keep alive what doesn’t need to shout.

A brief intermission from the present—this is a restored moment from six years ago, when I first touched the Pocket Operators and felt something shift. The PO-35 Speak and PO-14 Sub opened a new line of creation for me, and this short jam was one of the first sparks.
Now remastered in 4K with a new sound mix, it returns not as a statement, but as a breath between movements. A reminder of where things began, and how playfulness still finds its way into the process.
Not a full release. Not a throwback. Just a small interlude between deeper lines.
Peace, Mark

Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.

Am the arrow,

The dew that flies
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning."
