Every child starts out in a state of oceanic consciousness, a sea of sensation and emotion with no boundaries at all. They cannot tell themselves from their mother, or any other outside object. The ego is essentially a boundary marker, a delineator of the self from every other thing. The development of the ego over time can be thought of as the sharpening and clarifying of that boundary. As we grow into adulthood, and our ego becomes mature, most people lose the ability to contact the earlier oceanic feeling because they cannot drop the acute feeling of separateness created by the ego. They have lost the sense of oneness with everything and are stuck in their “two-ness,” as it were. Practicing meditation, doing inquiry, and other methods, constitute a path for returning to this original undifferentiated state of the mind, at least for some time.

Oceanic Consciousness

This is a remix of Bicep I did for Throne Of Blood records. It uses lots of Buchla 200 and TB-303, you kids will love it.

Bicep - Silk (Mark Verbos Remix)

This track is part live recording, part overdub and multiple edits. I'm not 100% sure anymore, but I think no pedals were being used. Just my guitar, recorded and processed in Reaper. 

The demo version of the album is here on soundcloud as well, it's called A Great Collection of Drone songs (yes - Pink Floyd reference).

Surfing the Uncertainty

Ben Chatwin’s The Beginning / The End is a double A-side single that delves into the vast cycles of creation and collapse. Inspired by the birth and death of the cosmos, the release explores themes of beauty, decay, and impermanence through rich, textured compositions.

Crafted using analogue hardware pushed to its limits, Chatwin saturates and compresses sound to create a visceral sonic experience. The Beginning reflects the spark of creation, while The End contemplates quiet dissolution.

Premiered at the Sonica Festival 2024 in Glasgow as part of a larger audiovisual project, the tracks are accompanied by mesmerizing visuals from Morgan Beringer, adding a striking dimension to this meditative exploration of existence.

I play piano, synth, guitar, bass, bodhran and I sing from time to time.  I studied jazz piano and composing  Contemporary Classical Music and I write for many genres.
