Beautiful piece !! Great collaboration !! 😍 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 

I did not know that Marco Polo spent more than two decades in the service of Kublai Khan.  Perhaps this incredible, haunting and hypnotizing work is the musical story of just one of the many adventures from his experiences in Asia.  Innovative and brilliant work, all of you!

Majestic and ominous. Love that trombone! :)

This is beautiful, very nice put together.

The Statue Looks on in Silence - Why Was I Not Made of Stone?

What if the secret life of the machines that surround me every day grew suddenly louder, the way a part of the body cries out for attention whenever pain arises? I began to walk through my new and apparently post-pandemic city, where the quiet streets hummed again, and even the air seemed cut with a new intensity and purpose. This track begins with a late night calling, an uneven pulse, that summons a world of ticking gears and levers, underpinned with dark drones and stretched choral verses, as if despair was the necessary beginning of every joy.

Back In The Streets

New Single: 'Pattern IV' Out Now. Extracted from my new album 'Patterns'. Listen to the full album on Bandcamp: https://atlascastle.bandcamp.com 🖤

'Pattern IV' is a track that I particularly cherish on my recently released album 'Patterns'. If I had to pick up only one track from the album, it would be this one.

To create the music video, I asked for the help and good will of my label mate and good friend @dataruin. For this one, he decided to go for a drive. The idea was to let you dive into your imagination or memories along with the video and the music.

Simple moments like this, driving, seeking beauty in common things. All those moments "in transit" in your life, being a passenger in a car, waiting patiently to reach your destination and inevitably thinking about your existence...

Pattern IV

Pre-order: 13th December 2022
Release date: 20th December 022
Format: Cassette, Digital

They met at the shores of the Licca. Oberlin came from the north, via
Augusta Vindelicorum, Xu from the south via Tridentum. Like travellers
of old on the Via Raetia just with the exception that their luggage
contained some electronic devices, Xu brought a couple of analog
synthesizers and some looper and fx pedals with him, Oberlin had a 9HE
Eurorack together with his sleeping bag on his back and a guitar under
the arm. Nights were quiet, you could hear the river flow and some
nightbirds from the trees. The two travellers did not want to disturb
the silence too much; instead they tried to take up the atmosphere
around them and to resonate it with their electronic and musical means.
So here you can listen to the musical diary of their time spent together
on this ancient roman street... and when the two parted, they knew it
was not forever. They would continue their journey sometime somewhere.

Xu & Oberlin would like to thank Andrea Porcu very much for his support
and for giving them a home on his beautiful label.

press release: 
MECHANICAL RITUALS: 23 years after his EP for Drone Records (DR-28, as CRAWL UNIT) we are proud to release another / new work of conceptual / minimal / object drone artist JOE COLLEY from California.   
We think JOE COLLEY (*1972) is a master of using mechanical object sounds and electronic static, but also strange low fi found found sources and field recordings, creating alienating, surrealistic effects, similar to the likes of SMALL CRUEL PARTY, JIM HAYNES, DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE or even the more experimental side of ZOVIET FRANCE...  
His newer compositions seem always to be filled with electro-magnetic hummings, strange hissing and the pourings of metallic objects as a basis, but you never find the use real instruments, synths, or masses of effect procession. Thus a very own scent of mystery appears, as all of these radiations are not really from this planet, without any "cosmic" connotations..
For the creator, these sounds are connected with unreal emotions of "Being Lost", a mistrust in what may be called reality, and a general feeling of alienation... - you can only wonder how this can result in such beautiful droning expanses.. 
Presented here are over 30 minutes of very best new COLLEY material (entitled   "Limit / Limit"  und "Always I / Always II") => through these drones of strangeness the mind is thrown inside an unrecognizable and confusing realm of broken electricity and something like audible-made atmospheric pressure.. 
Lim. 300 copies with artwork by dutch designer and micro label hero MEEUW, using a special silver print (on reverse board), BLACK vinyl. glossy black inner sleeves.

REVIEW:  "When Joe Colley speaks about his work and even about his life, he shrugs in an awkward attempt to stave off an existential frustration that not only his work addresses but also seems to consume his identity. There are numerous metaphors through his titles that allude to endless failures and a nihilism full of contempt, but Colley also implores a desperate urgency to express these poetics no matter how painful they may be. For three decades now, Colley has been a central and persistent figure in the California noise community. First recording under the moniker Crawl Unit and running the short-lived Povertech label, Colley presented a preternaturally strong acumen of electro-acoustic techniques and abstraction through a vast language of blistered textures, atonal noise, and gnarled drone. By 2000, he dropped the Crawl Unit moniker in favor of his own name with an ongoing discography of damaged yet exploratory electronics. 

Colley returns to Drone Records for this 10" on the Substantia Innominata series, many years after his Crawl Unit "Tuscon Mon Amour" 7." In describing "Acting As If," Colley offers a vague series of descriptors: unheimlich, terror of the familiar, and no faith in what is "real." Within the sustained movements of scrabbling textures, motorized abrasions, and uncomfortable harmonics, such conditions are made manifest and Colley amplifies them into something eeriely sublime. 
All of that held within a self-contained logic that works within and against his deep knowledge of drone-on minimalism, musique concrete dynamics, and the explosiveness of noise culture. His swarming masses, throttled rumbling, and smoldering tension are all encircling and folding in on themselves. Rhizomes of sound that speak poison. Drink up, if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger. "- Jim Haynes / Northern California, 2023

JOE COLLEY - Limit (edit)

A set of journeys through unusual spaces.
Electronic and acoustic instruments.
As if travelling through the electrostatically charged plasma in deep space.

Electric Space 1

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.
