Fluid Audio is proud to present 'arthur & jeremias', the forthcoming album from Danish composer and sound artist øjeRum - a quiet, introspective work named after two characters from The Castle, Franz Kafka’s unfinished and haunting novel.

Like Kafka’s world, 'arthur & jeremias' exists in a space of uncertainty and longing. It drifts between presence and absence, where meaning is sensed rather than stated. The album unfolds as a slow sonic exploration, fragments of memory, half-remembered rooms, and corridors that seem to lead nowhere and everywhere at once.

Dusted loops circle gently, worn at the edges. Tape hiss breathes between notes. Electronic phrases appear like passing thoughts, only to dissolve again into ambience. There is a deep sense of nostalgia throughout, not for a specific place or time, but for something just out of reach, hovering at the edge of consciousness.

Rather than telling a story outright, 'arthur & jeremias' invites the listener to inhabit a mood. Repetition becomes ritual. Small imperfections are left intact, giving the music a fragile, human quality, as though the recordings themselves are artifacts uncovered from another era.

This is music that rewards patience and stillness. It asks for attentive listening, for surrender to its quiet pull. Like The Castle, the album resists resolution, finding beauty in ambiguity and tenderness in restraint.

The album is mastered by Ian Hawgood, whose sensitive and understated approach preserves the music’s intimacy and dynamic range, allowing the dusted loops, tape hiss, and fragile melodic fragments to remain unpolished and alive - faithful to the album’s quiet emotional core.

Released through Fluid Audio, 'arthur & jeremias' will appear as a limited, hand-assembled physical edition, created with the same care and attention to detail that defines the label’s ethos - a tactile companion to an intimate and reflective listening experience.

The visual art work Sperm Grid for Heliogabalus was inspired in part by the phrase which begins Antonin Artaud's novel on the 3rd century emperor 'Heliogabalus; or, The Crowned Anarchist':  "Just as there was an intense circulation of blood and excrement around Heliogabalus' corpse, dead without a tomb, his throat cut by his own praetorian guard in the latrines of the imperial palace, so too there was around his cradle an intense circulation of sperm".

From the opera: The Tears of Eros.

Juliette Adam (clarinet), Judith Hamann (previously Félicie Bazelaire) (cello) and Léo Dupleix (spinet).  Their music focuses on tones and tuning,  working through long musical forms made of layering and slowly displacing matters. The music is composed by Léo Dupleix, while the musical direction is of a collective spirit.
