AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

We're Highly Motivated Staff. We work a lot - too much in fact - are underpaid, and believe in the free market. We even accept paycuts on a regular basis when it helps to, er, make someone else much richer and that, in effect, makes all of us somehow richer or something. Trickle down economics, you know. We're not always happy about this, but hey - such is life! To compensate for this and to motivate ourselves we make music. Highly motivating music. Highly motivated music, so to speak. Music you can listen to while having pointless meetings about savings, inefficiencies and new water coolers. Music while working on spreadsheets or calculating how to minimize costs and maximize profits by making other staff, far less efficient staff, redundant. Music you can listen to while making overtime without being paid and while someone else can't decide whether to listen to Michael Buble or Morbid Angel.

That's the world of the highly motivated staff. Welcome!

Neil Searle is a UK-based singer-songwriter whose music blends classic melodies with thoughtful, lyrical storytelling. Influenced by the timeless sounds of The Beatles and David Bowie, his songs often explore themes of memory, space, and human connection. With a love for the planets, moons, and stars, Neil brings a reflective, sometimes otherworldly quality to his songwriting—creating music that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
