It’s been exactly 3 months since Extant was discovered in an excavation site in Central America. During those months the messages contained within the disc studied by several top aural archaeologists. Their findings are presented below…

“Extant is packed with awe and wonder; an album to gaze at the stars with; a soundtrack to what comes after the end of days; a long unwavering stare at wide vistas of moss drenched rubble. It is quietly and unassumingly wonderful.” Ears For Eyes

“…the general feeling is that of a drone-rock supernova, a cosmic place where these atmospheric sounds go for one final burst of light before they burn out completely.” The Sound of Confusion

“A cosmic trance sets in; there is no escape. You are left directly gazing at the distant stars that, drifting out of focus, seem to resemble an all-seeing eye.” A Closer Listen

“Layers of granular decay build and disperse with samples that are pulled ripped apart, then put back together again. You can feel a sense of dissipating time and space with a strong hint of isolation and darkness.” Reykjavik Sex Farm

“Extant will hoist you into its desolate, barmy world. What better way to usher in the new epoch?” Scrolldust

“All in all this is the soundtrack to an airborne journey across landscapes waiting for warmth, across beauty, majesty and utter desolation.” Both Bars On

“As such, instead of dark ambient or dynamically dull drone, I would rather file this album along with the haunting and cinematic recordings from some of my favorite artists such as Kreng, Kaboom Karavan, Black Swan, and 36.” Headphone Commute

“A magnificent trip into the furthest reaches of the mind, these dronescapes are expertly sculpted.” The Ephemeral Man

Major thanks to all those above who took time out to pen their findings. XOX.

Un voyage en deux parties dans le temps et l’espace, avec CARL.

Some new music for your brain. This is the longest piece I’ve released to date and is split into two parts. The first builds around a series of 909 claps that punctuate a suite of droning saturated synth lines. The second part slowly pulls apart all that was built whilst CARL (the French version of HAL) is slowly decommissioned.

This is a WIP but thought it was worth a share. Enjoy!

The Séance is a (semi) regular podcast / radio show broadcasting from beyond Brighton’s oscillating waves. They were kind enough to feature yours on their first show of 2013. Great! Even better though, is the disco Alien theme remix. Simply wow. Worth a listen for that alone… but also for some other ear expanding audio. Time to explore their show archive. I may be a while.
