“our secret, silent storms” is the fifth full-length album by Auckland-based dark ambient /electro-drone / alternative electronica multi-media project Empire to Ashes. 

It is the first of a series of albums that will comprise “sequence two”, which is a radical thematic departure from the content of the first “sequence” which consisted of the albums ‘[in pieces]’, ‘deconstructed [between the pieces]’, ‘beneath’, and ‘trinity:complete’.

Known for experimentation, with the core tenant of making that experimentation still sound natural, Empire to Ashes’ new album continues its sonic experiments with unusual time signatures, but this time also experiments with the use of polymeters (defined as
when one or more instruments are playing in one time signature, while one or more other instruments are playing in a different time signature at the same time).

Empire to Ashes is the solo project of Jamie Denton (ex bassist for Poison Skies, Ishtar, and Naquadah), and after over 20 years in the Auckland music, Empire to Ashes sees Jamie stepping out from behind the bass, capturing the “sounds and voices that have been bouncing around my head”.

The Empire to Ashes approach is a DIY one, where all performing, programming, recording, composing, mixing, mastering and the creation of the accompanying videos and artwork are handled alone by Jamie himself.

“our secret, silent storms” is out worldwide on the 15th of November, 2019.
