Thank you Scarfolk, having this music played at high volume meant I never once had a lunchtime drink spoilt by the selfish cries of small children trying to gnaw their way out of their restraints whilst sedated on hallucinogenics.

The cassette called "Audio Control for Baby" (Scarfolk tapes & records, 1970) has long been lost but we do have this recording of the music playing in the background at the Scarfolk Inconvenient Infant Playcenta. It was piped into every room around the clock at high volume and many child carers found it to be very effective: Enjoying drinks at the pub two doors down from the 'centa', the carers rarely heard any of the babies cry.

Many struggled with the pressures of the job. As one carer, Jocelyn Hurtt, noted at the time, "the kids really set your nerves on edge, especially if, like me, you don't have an affinity with children. You can be right in the middle of a good programme on the telly and one of them will start up: complaining about nightmares, appendicitis or wanting to be freed from their restraints. I really don't know what I'd do without my Martini & lemonades. You're not supposed to hit the little blighters, but if you've had a few drinks you're less tolerant and you don't know your own strength; it only stands to reason and is to be expected. After all, we're only human."

We hope that the extraneous sounds on the recording do not distract too much from the music.

The Archives collection is a look into Atrium Carceri's archived audio files from the last 10 years. 

This album was created using audio recorded during 2005-2015 and consists of B-sides, forgotten tapes, tracks that for one reason or the other did not make it onto one of the Atrium Carceri albums, or tracks that were in circulation but needed a remaster. 

All material has since been re-edited , reworked, remastered and merged into two seamless tracks. The Scandinavian recordings of cold meets the post apocalyptic undertones of America as it was worked on in Oregon, USA out of the Cryo Chamber Studio, with material from both countries.

Atrium Carceri - Archives II

This Dark Ambient album from Female/Male duo Phonothek serves us a deep and complex journey with smokey overtones straight out of Georgia (Europe). Vinyl crackles, echoes and bowed strings builds a tension throughout the album and weaves in and out of powerful geometric imagery. Recommended as a companion for sleepless nights. 

Available in 24 bit FLAC

Alphaxone (Iran) & ProtoU (Ukraine) join forces on Space Ambient album Stardust 

Float weightless in the void to the sound of exploding supernovas. 

A solid thump closes the airlock behind you. Greeting your vision, a myriad of stars shining like beacons in black space. Rapid fingers across the uplink to the mothership "feed my cat while I'm gone". 

The engine roars as the plasma ions accelerates. The mothership but a pixel left behind. Your ships humming soothes your excitement as you set out for new unexplored worlds. 

Alphaxones spacey synthesizers sweep in and out of ProtoUs iconic filtered noise on this unique release. Recommended for lovers of space ambient and old school science fiction soundtracks.

Alphaxon & ProtoU - Consumed

Council of Nine returns with his third album on Cryo Chamber. 

Trinity is a touching, personal and enlightening album from Maximillian Olivier. In a genre where most keep their personal life to themselves, Maximillian opens his heart for all to see. 

"This is my catharsis. The many stages of grief and the acceptance of loss, deeply personal, unforgiving, cold and painful. This is the story of the greatest loss I have suffered, the death of my mother. This marks the end of a chapter and the closure I was desperately seeking." 

Blending atmospheric sound layering with a harmonic palette it drifts between dark and light. Walls of sound collide with echoing strums, drones wash over endless shores. 

Recommended for lovers of melancholic dark ambient

Aegri Somnia returns with his third album on Cryo Chamber, Nusquam. An album digging deep into topics of transhumanism and the merger of the biological and technological.

Flashbacks, waking up, the beeping of the re-charge station as your body slumps to the floor. Rusted metal, creaking cables and stained concrete. This your home. An organic mind resting in a capsulated vat tank inside an electro-sensory shell of military grade alloy.

Nusquam is a dark and layered album that delves deep into micro sounds, drone and electro-analogue builds. For explorers who wants to drown in a sea of black drone as fluttering insectoid nano-robots close in to watch you submerge.

Aegri Somnia - Corruption Incarnate

http://scarfolk.blogspot.com Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay."
