Followers of the artist Mark Vernon will note a subdued and pensive mood on this new record. Monochrome and sepulchral, these tracks are in a minor key, a key which opens the door to a damp cellar of the imagination. Too-many legged spiders crawl over dusty violins. Time lurches, loops and echoes like excursions on slow motion railways in reverse. Concrète noir sombre séances for non-believers. Tauntological voices from the past provoke us. Half guessed ghosts, magnetic phantoms from funereal-to-reel tape recordings. The sibilant persistence of the deceased evokes the exhausted dread of waiting for a medical test result. Enigmatic messages thrown to the werewolves with nothing but cheap medication and some breathing exercises for support. 

Caution: this record can cause dreamless nights. 

“Psychedelic visions, blackouts and blinding lights reveal an unusual, sick, and feverish musicality... here the gods come back from the dead only to ensure us an existence nurtured by the freezing rays of a black sun.” 

Massimiliano Busti, Blow Up (Feb 2022)

Time Deferred

Athanasia

The online meetings we have all become accustomed to are often accompanied by the experience
of being distracted and drifting off into daydreams. In this piece, you will take part in a journey into
the mind of a host in an online meeting with multiple participants. You will hear how the ringing of
a phone, a car horn, or a glitch in the online stream trigger an irresistible sonic journey in which all
these events dissolve and abandon their old meaning to form new sound worlds that emerge from
their material.

DAYDREAMING (excerpt, Binaural)

Pre-order: 9th September 2022
Release date: 16th September 2022
Format: CD, Digital

"Oblio" (italian for "oblivion") is a collection of 7 tracks, of which one doesn’t exist. The album is a short
study on abandonment, sweetness and melancholy associated with the progressive disintegration of
memory, the loss and irreversible modification of the mind: an album about the sense of the end of
things, up to the fulfillment of oblivion. Symbolically therefore the last track (the titletrack) is an empty
space, it's missing as if it never existed, or as if it was composed in the past who knows by whom ... but
forgotten.
"Oblio" is based on classical piano music loops (Ravel, Debussy, Bartok), taken, internalized, reimagined
and made "other", in an attempt to forget them: an almost Zen testbed for the abandonment of the self.

400 LONELY THINGS 'Mother Moon' CD

The new album from 400 LONELY THINGS, produced by WILLIAM BASINSKI, is a dark ambient, sample-based séance to the Banning Mill - a real-life decaying "mansion" and haven for artists, freaks and misfits in the backwoods of the American Deep South in the 1970s-1990s - and an extraordinary piece of art that lived there.

An archaeological excursion in found sound - wandering through the art and memory of a real place, "Mother Moon" is an origin story for 400 Lonely Things. In the 90's, Craig Varian was fortunate enough to frequent the Mill in the years before it closed. It was here that he was exposed to the artwork of Richard Scott Hill, whose artwork "Minotauress" graces the album cover. His work both captured and fed into the Mill's sinister yet playful undercurrents of mania and depression. This album, born out of that first visit to the Mill, is an imaginary soundtrack to the many years of solitude the Minotauress spent hanging in the musty, secret winding halls of Banning Mill. 

Since the days of the Mill (and Varian's subsequent purchase of "Minotauress" shortly before the Mill closed), Varian, along with best friend and late musical partner Jonathan McCall, found a thread of music they'd been consistently making yet had previously failed to notice - melancholic instrumentals with weathered sampling at its core - going back to their earliest recordings in the late 1980's. Eventually, this music was called 400 Lonely Things.

Presented in a 6-panel spot-varnished digipak.
