'The sound experience I prefer to all others is the experience of silence, and the silence almost everywhere in the world is traffic, if you listen to Beethoven or Mozart you see that they’re always the same, if you listen to traffic you see that it's always different.' - John Cage


It's a busy afternoon in the city and whenever I'm in central London I feel hassled, stressed, and distracted. I've got an hour before meeting a friend so I head toward St James in Piccadilly, hoping to have a quiet moment in the church. Churches are one of the few places left in our busy hustling world where you can just sit and be, with no expectation of return. (That's how they should be anyway.)

I arrive at St James in Piccadilly in the middle of one of their music recitals. I can hear and see through the glass doors the musician and the piano and while I'm not prevented from entering, the thought of disturbing the music for the people already listening makes me feel sick.

After a moment of uncertainty, I wander out into the courtyard, where I feel calm. There are seats under the trees and little nooks to sit cross-legged and get my book and sketchbook out. I'm relieved. It's still busy and noisy, but I am no longer talking, or taking up room in the soundscape. I am quiet, no one is talking to me, and everything becomes non-articulated sound, even speech. 

John Cage said in an interview that he loved 'sounds just as they are, I don't need them to be any more.' Cage's silence is a profound act of being present and silent within a landscape of non-articulated sound. This is my first silent prayer offering in the tradition of John Cage's love of silence, and the intent of his famous 4'33. In each of the prayers, the silence will be different every time; a non-talking improvisation of sound. My intent is to create an archive of silent liturgy.

Inspired by the iconic tradition of the sample pack, the Source Folder series seeks to explore the diversity of interpretations, paths and offsprings that might emerge from a common resource. In each installment, a member of the Global URL Nation provides a sample pack from which other artists are invited to create a new track.

For this second edition, we welcome long-time collaborator Bademjan - a French artist blending heavily processed instruments with arcane atmospheres and raw emotions to unveil the sublime in their delicate intricacies.

For the project, he drew inspiration from early video game music, challenging 14 artists to collaboratively imagine the soundtrack of an ethereal, otherworldly video game. At the heart of the project is a collection of 25 custom-designed instruments – a unified palette of ambient washes, celestial leads, and weathered textures – that served as the exclusive sound source for the tracks, reminiscent of the creative limitations of the 16-bit era.

((o))
The result is a compilation of 14 tracks by aeria, B E N N, commun des mortels, False Self, Guenter Råler, Indigoblue, jjjacob, Léo Dubois, Levier, Lukann, Peow Beow, Sçlé, Sioban and Sopoorific.

Each track feels like a gateway to its own unique realm, a portal to its own liminal space, where wistful melodies and haunting textures intertwine. While some tracks evoke a tender nostalgia, wrapping the listener in bitcrushed warmth, others explore darker, more mysterious tones – all coming together beautifully as an immersive journey through uncharted dreamscapes.

Wandering down a dark, damp alleyway, I am startled by a grotesque figure emerging from the wall in front of me.

Collaboration with Optional Ganesh (Barcelona).
We created a few stems each and then crafted a personal mix out of them.
Thanks for reaching out, OG!
