No Stars Tonight / Xs For Eyes

The Owlripper 2025-07-02 | X's For Eyes returns to Owlripper for another furious ball of demented metal wrapped in barbed chaotic noise, following on perfectly from last year's 'In Horrid Waves' monster! For fans of Car Bomb, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Igorrr, Ion Dissonance, Fantomas, The Locust, Today Is The Day, Author & Punisher, losing your marbles and giving in to the delirium of every day and otherworldly madness.
The concept is best told by project puppetmaster Marc Whitworth... "No Stars Tonight" is a concept album that repurposes the raw, unfiltered outrage of public online reviews of random products & services into rage-filled lyrics.

Channelling fury from complaints about allergy medications to air fryers, "No Stars Tonight" vomits a visceral blend of noise, sludge, grind, electronic metal, and distortion. Brace yourself for a cathartic journey through the furious and oftentimes hilarious chaos of consumer discontent."

Featuring a range of guest artists from Frankenbok, Tongue Scum, Convulsing, Black Aleph, Midasuno, Conduction and Five Star Prison Cell, this 10-track album is a tribute to the first-world problems of the frustrated, the cheated, and the infuriated.

00:00 - 1. ....And I Couldn't Even Live...
00:21 - 2. Nose Ripped Off, Eyes Gouged Out (official video)
02:17 - 3. I'm No Surgeon, But Here Goes....
04:46 - 4. Nail Gun Crucifixion Weekend Ruined
07:20 - 5. We Dance Within These Infinite Circles
09:28 - 6. Broken Glasses Shoved In Arses
12:45 - 7. Melting Plastic, Ingesting Fumes (official video)
13:21 - 8. Worst & Worst & Worst & Worst (official video)
17:55 - 9. Uncooked Bacterial Fuck-Fest (official video)
20:14 - 10. Sadism in Dentistry
22:04 - 11. The Arcane Clique Of Extreme Chirotherapy

DEMO2025 / NEGLECT

The Owlripper 2025-06-27 | 'Never stop creating. Drilling down into a sound or processing an image: getting to something new and unique; the relentless pursuit of the unseen and unheard!'
Prepare for neural adjustment via sonic attacks as NEGLECT delivers ramraiding heavy distorted and warped noise with rumbling drones, covered in disorienting and debilitating layers.
There's more to it than just a chaotic approach, with head-clearing spaced out ambient soundscapes appearing in the overall scenery as this demonstration goes on.

NEGLECT is about transformation; about never stopping during your quest to figure out yourself and your creativity, and about collaboration in motion to achieve that which helps you breathe and be.

Less a demo; more a long-playing statement of intent.

00:00 - 1. CLICK HERE TO DIE!
00:45 - 2. TURN BACK NOW
02:46 - 3. KEEP OUT
06:18 - 4. BEING WATCHED (I)
07:35 - 5. DO NOT PRESS
09:24 - 6. TOXIC CONTAMINATION
10:37 - 7. STAY FAR AWAY
13:02 - 8. BEING WATCHED (II)
14:25 - 9. LOOMING VOID
16:21 - 10. DEAD BODY FLOATING THROUGH THE COSMOS
19:17 - 11. THE HORROR!
25:12 - 12. LIVE TO TELL

Tracks 1-8 = The first EP from NEGLECT.
Eight tracks of digitally-sculpted sonic paranoia.

Tracks 9-12 = Side B (bonus tracks)
Collected from past compilations and future releases.
'Looming Void' from Mr Bundle compilation on Owlripper

"Each sound has been digitally-processed several times over, in search of waveforms unheard, and then the demo was captured ‘out loud’ in a live room. Some of the tracks collected here are the digital versions, others use a mix of the digital and raw sound to create nice blends and transitions.

The art, much like the music, went through several transformations - an idea, a black-and-white pen-and-ink study, a powerful acrylic painting on canvas, then digitally scanned and processed further into the cover image (and versions) you see before you."

My Ghost Will Never Sleep / Hecate

The Owlripper 2025-06-23 | Hecate combines thought-invoking glacial dungeon synth space melodies with atmospheric ambient black metal (delivered on distorted acoustic guitar). Those foundations are topped with distant echo-drenched hollers and held together with excellent composition. Refrains will remain in your head for days. Atmospheres will alter your surroundings. The coalescence of light and dark moods enhances perception, melting the mind by inducing melatonin release and poetic melancholy.

'This is an invocation to Hecate and Her Two Torches.
An appreciation of noise and beauty.
May she light our path into Darkness.'

00:00 - 1. the stars have soured
04:40 - 2. left to starve in a putrid cave
08:34 - 3. melancholic projection
11:01 - 4. a hollow fountain
14:37 - 5. receiving the astral blood
20:06 - 6. my ghost will never sleep

Catalyst / Imrryr

The Owlripper 2025-06-17 | 'Catalyst' is the story of a doctor whose obsession with cheating death has brought the world into an age of technological wonder. As his compound is being raided by government agencies, he takes the desperate step to hide an experimental nanofluid by ingesting it, which immediately dissolves him into a black sludge. After years on an evidence room shelf, the sludge is rediscovered by a team of bold scientists who begin to revive the doctor’s work. They find great success in using the black sludge as a neural network. Robots throughout the world run on the nanofluid that is unknowingly imbued with the doctor’s consciousness. While initially overjoyed at the help he brings the world, the doctor finds himself increasingly disillusioned by humanity’s squandering of what’s been given to them. Now in complete control of the world’s technology, he takes it upon himself to punish humankind.

00:00 - 1. He Drank From the Vile and Became Eternal
08:26 - 2. The First Forty Years of Isolation
15:39 - 3. Things Were Going so Well, They Accomplished so Much
19:43 - 4. The Memories of His Father's Death Stayed With Him
24:33 - 5. He Hid in The Shadows and Watched on in Disgust and Disappointment
29:43 - 6. A Decision Had to be Made
36:02 - 7. They All Must Die

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

If you were already hanging around in Owlripperland during May 2024's 'Dust' album by Imrryr, you should know the quality, originality and mental 'journey' that you are about to take part in during 'Catalyst'.

If not, strap in for a 'prog rock space opera electrodoom sci-fi soundtrack' album, with plenty of twists, turns, atmospherics, dynamics, weaving tunes and themes that pop to the surface throughout... (then please listen to 'Dust' and more Imrryr next!).

Von erlösender Vergängnis und verzehrender Wiederkehr / Ouroborosum

The Owlripper 2025-06-12 | The mighty legend that is Yhorm - this time as Ouroborosum - returns to Owlripper once more; with thorny ornate flowers, a scythe, a snake, and a trusty Boss Metal Zone distortion pedal all combining to create a collection (with ambient atmospheric moments) of filthy, seething, primitive yet melodic lofi raw black metal songs, about the lower classes, poverty and wrath, completed by an epic piece based on a Ukrainian folk song.

'May your ears don't bleed!'

⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎⚔︎

00:00 - 1. Ein träger Einklang
01:00 - 2. Der wilden Saate Zorn
04:25 - 3. Erdrückt von goldnen Füßen
09:10 - 4. Euer Thron soll zerberste, da wir kehren heim...
13:36 - 5. Спи, Ісусе, спи

English translations:
'Of redeeming transience and consuming return'
1. A slow harmony
2. The wrath of the wild seed
3. Crushed by golden feet
4. Your throne shall burst as we return home...
5. Sleep, Jesus, Sleep

'The liturgy at the end is the litany of supplication from the Ukrainian orthodox church'.

Intro piece by The Owl, made with the end of 'Спи, Ісусе, спи'.

The Acid Sea / Happomeri

The Owlripper 2025-06-05 | Harking back to the style of the early and mid-90s electronic experimentation, with minimal shuffling rhythms, slow building chord layers and deep acid twiddlings and spirals that send minds spinning. 'The Acid Sea' manages to collate together influence from a variety of electronic eras into one coherent atmospheric mass, hurling Hardfloor, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Plastikman, µ-Ziq, Biosphere and others around that time into my mind.

I am already a fan of Happomeri (meaning 'acid sea' in Finnish), through the releases on his own page, my own Mountain Forest Cabin Dweller and friend's LOUDsilence releases, so it is a big pleasure to share this incredible slab of addictive, trance inducingly hypnotic and cinematic elektroninen musiikki.

00:00 - 1. Dodekaedri
06:46 - 2. Bunkkeripiknik
13:48 - 3. Vain kohinaa
24:32 - 4. Saattue
33:05 - 5. Muista katsoa taaksesi
38:20 - 6. Lähde

Happomeri is Juha Penttinen, born in June 1976, residing in Oulu, Northern Finland. 'Drone/experimental/dark ambient/noise'

"In the 1990s, I composed a significant amount of music before transitioning to visual arts, including experimental short films and music videos. Now, returning to music, I embrace an analog, organic, and lo-fi aesthetic.

My exploration into drone music stems from a fascination with the flow of sound and how gradual changes can evoke profound emotional experiences.To me, drone is akin to a river that transforms with the seasons: energetic in spring, tranquil in summer, melancholic in autumn, and still yet vibrant beneath the surface in winter. This analogy illustrates how drone sounds can encompass numerous layers and dynamics, even when surface activity seems minimal.

I also submerge into experimental beats and energies from the old warehouse raves that we organized in the 90s here in the periferia of northern Finland's taiga.

Painting with sound is an essential part of my creative process."

Completely Boogied / Boogied

The Owlripper 2025-06-01 | Weighing in at 85 minutes, 'Completely Boogied' covers a wide variety of styles, focusing close on 'death and roll' heavy metal, hardcore crust punk, old school black / thrash / death metal; with elements of stoner / surf and noise rock, dungeon synth, ambient soundscapes and film samples popping up along the way.

As the name suggests, there is plenty of fun to be had in listening to Boogied. Catchy, infectious, energising tunes run all the way through the discography, but with some serious headnodding potential.

Excellent covers of GBH, Murder Corporation and Cranes complete the rollercoaster journey (the last one was a great surprise to hear, as a big fan of Cranes!).

Put this on, jump around, do some housework or some gym, and definitely keep this collection in mind for the soundtrack to your next roadtrip. Perfect driving music.

Sublevel Abyss / ASMODEXIA

The Owlripper 2025-05-24 | Sinewy, raw, searing and mindripping noisecore grindcore madness. Described perfectly as 'Hellish blastnoise', 'Sublevel Abyss' batters and blasts at a high velocity, with high viscosity and stacks of subcutaneous squiggly sounds bouncing around all over the place.

KAGENEKO

The Owlripper 2025-05-18 | Kageneko ichiban! Self-titled diskografia of KAGENEKO. 21 tracks in 17 minutes from 3 recordings. A brutal assault to the senses...
'Inspired by 50/50, Cellgraft, Wrench, Grave, Discordance Axis' (and surely Assück?! Maybe a little PLF, Nile, Gorguts, Insect Warfare, Excruciating Terror)
I first got acquainted with KAGENEKO (solo project - Bass, vocals, programmed drums, from Kitsault, Canada) when 'Shinzaki/Monma' was included on the 42 Seconds #6 compilation back in March 2023, so it gives me great pleasure to be able to release their absolutely ramraiding compilation discography, littered with demonic guttural beratings, blasting and bass-led batterings.

The sole member of KAGENEKO is also in ASMODEXIA, and their discography collection releases May 24th 2025 on Owlripper.

QUASAR / The Owl

The Owlripper 2025-05-18 | My journey up and down and all around the universe combined with the most magical moments of realisation and ecstatic breaths after that journey.
The titles are the real introduction...
00:00 - 1. The shift from reality to four dimensional lands
02:00 - 2. Point and look up, then follow your imagination
09:20 - 3. Gargantuan slam catharsis after mental noise
13:40 - 4. Delight in the skies and the devilish details
24:46 - 5. A day trip to Dr0n0153evv0r1d
36:01 - 6. spaceNo153xperiments into the future
40:34 - 7. When the clock strikes 25
42:29 - 8. When you close your eyes and your mind has no end
54:03 - 9. When you can finally dance knowing you are safe in this vast infinity

/////

Credits and a bit more story for those who like the knowledge from the inside.
Made with synth, bass, voice, effects pedals, noise, space - January 5th to December 18th 2024
Released December 18, 2024

Original recordings made during rehearsal room improvised bass playing, field recording of building sounds around our cottage, a two hour synth in headphones session, followed by many more waveform alterations, remix and mastering. The unexpected bass session was recorded on phone, which blew out the sound in heavier parts, but itt led to some interesting happenings in the end.

This is for those who can listen in one sitting, as one piece of music. If you are listening with headphones and really inside this recording, the last song, after all that goes before it, might make you cry, or laugh. Hopefully both.

Obsidian / Dan Dolby

The Owlripper 2025-05-11 | Hopefully by now, Dan Dolby doesn't need an introduction amongst noise, experimental, dark, extreme and Bandcamp music followers alike. (If he does, continue reading below!)... 'Obsidian' finds him combining industrial pulsations, breakbeat and almost trip-hop-esque rhythms, with quilts of harsh and drone noise wall layers for a delirium-inducing-yet-somehow-danceable mindmelting experience. Best experienced on headphones, with eyes closed; in a darkened room, if you dare.

04:20 - 2. Melanite
09:55 - 3. Ebony
15:35 - 4. Raven

The Tollund Man (died 405–384 BC) is a naturally mummified corpse of a man who lived during the 5th century BC, during the period characterised in Scandinavia as the Pre-Roman Iron Age.
He was found in 1950, preserved as a bog body, near Silkeborg on the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. 'Tollund Man' by The Owl is released on the 75th anniversary of Tollund Man being found.

00:00 - 1. Mud Languisher
22:20 - 2. Quagmire Torso Dredging
38:25 - 3. Mummification

"The man's physical features were so well preserved that he was mistaken for a recent murder victim. The cause of death has been determined to be by hanging. Scholars believe the man was a human sacrifice, rather than an executed criminal, because of the arranged position of his body, and his eyes and mouth being closed."

Plutonic / Nyte Vypr

The Owlripper 2025-05-07 | A dark wave suffocates the horizon's sunsetting colours. The funeral doom procession prevails and unveils a new mood. Industrial atmospheres slowly march on producing something we have not experienced before. The viper of night is closing in, and it will change your world.
I am very pleased to present this huge album by NYTE VYPR. Four monolithic soundtracks to aid intense self-reflections, death contemplations, spiritual wonderings, supernatural stirrings, ponderings on mythical and demonic beings.
Immense immersive darkness, mekanikal klank and surprise diversions. Slow to burn, yet its heat will radiate eternally. Deep catharsis comes from its completion.

00:00 - 1. Alkahest
Azoth, sing out for Alkahest - Now face the light, arise!
17:35 - 2. Witchchrist
No comfort here, only the grim realization that life is hallucinated
33:37 - 3. Necrotic Prayer
Lift the veil, her dress falls, reveals her true form
41:04 - 4. Plutonic
Oh, say, old friend - Have you heard about the silence?

Released on Owlripper Recordings Bandcamp and YouTube on May 7th 2025

Heimatblick / Verhinderer

The Owlripper 2025-05-02 | "Heimatblick – Familiar yet distant, a raw echo of inner worlds. A confrontation with my younger self and mind.
Have you ever returned to a place from your past and felt like you no longer belong? If your old self stood before you, what would you do?
Unveiling a place where time stands still. A lone viewpoint overlooking the echoes of my past. Raw, unfiltered sounds revealing misty landscapes and memories carved into stone and wind."

00:00 - 1. Auf meine Berge will ich steigen
02:40 - 2. Immer Winter
08:22 - 3. Drang
12:30 - 4. Ein Mensch von unnötiger Ekstase
17:44 - 5. Streifzug durch unsere irrwitzige Überheblichkeit
25:08 - 6. Heimatblick

"Heimatblick is a real place; a small village I grew up in, where I spent countless hours, alone or in the company of friends.

I’ve grown distant from the world of myths, occult themes, and old tales. Life itself, I’ve learned, can conjure far darker thoughts within our own minds than any story ever told.

So I gathered those memories, emotions, truths, and poured them into words, melodies and sound. What emerged is a blackened mass of fear, panic, pressure, sweat, nostalgia, hunger, loneliness, adrenaline, home, senselessness, failure, self-loathing, alcohol and arrogance.

Lyrically, it is painfully real. Unfiltered. Honest. Raw. The album is about struggles also mentally with the development as a human nowadays. With all its negativity and daily fights.

From the ruins of my former home, something darker, stronger, and eternal shall rise."

Stay Weird / Rex Van Der Linde (compilation)

The Owlripper 2025-04-25 | A beautiful rawness. A delightful stench-ridden atmosphere. A deeper knowledge and acceptance of the vast universe out there. Stories of battles, victories, defeats, journeys, enlightenment, sorrow, madness, monsters, inner torment and catharsis.

There is a fascinating aura surrounding the sounds brought forth across all the 4 projects within (Putrid Presence, Gozu, Visitor and Oathless One). This collection, presented using RVDL's ever present motto of 'Stay Weird' shares 6 tracks from each project.

It is a heavy, intense, long listen (clocking in at 132 minutes), with the variety spreading across black metal (raw, ambient, punk, atmospheric), dungeon synth, doom, drone, space ambient electronics and psychedelic noise.

Fight the system; Piss the bed / Clockwork Warmachine

The Owlripper 2025-04-20 | "Emerging from the twisted weird of where the rainforest meets beach on the east most edge of Australia comes Clockwork Warmachine. Half-starved, possibly insane and feverously clutching his debut album as well as the photos from his misadventures. Though the traditional medium of progressive glitch/noise metal, this serving of hot and spicy rifts delivers the important reminder to be yourself in the brutal anomie of a world collapsing into ever deteriorating flux.

Lean forward, lock horns and listen in.
For as the machine is want to preach "Fight the System! Piss the Bed!
And just try not to think too closely about what's being said..."

00:00 - 1. Choking On Plastic Fumes
03:58 - 2. Glitched Sentience
09:19 - 3. Cloud Of Dust
12:48 - 4. Chemical Bath
15:34 - 5. Passed Out In The Park
19:37 - 6. Drunken Maze
23:19 - 7. Paranoid Psychotic Delusional Dumbass
27:11 - 8. Depressive Cycle To The Shops Without A Helmet
29:48 - 9. An Uneasy But Honest 'Thank You'
31:03 - 10. Time For You To Go, Mate

Fans of Meshuggah, Igorrr, Buckethead, Prong, Pitchshifter should be in their element here. For those with a desire for progressive, heavy, groovy chunky riffs mixed with glitched electronics, feed your system some high doses and repeat listens.

I was introduced to the wonderfully weird world of Clockwork Warmachine through their submission to '42 Seconds #7'. From that I continued on to the YouTube channel to hear a bunch of songs, playthroughs and other assorted oddities. I highly recommend you do the same.

There is a lot that meets the eyes and ears right from the off, in the infectious grooves and unexpected sounds weaving with the riffs; Wacky but not stupid, catchy but not cheesy, so peel, dig, climb deeper inside to immerse and be bemused in extra onion layers.

Self-aware lyrics tell stories relating to mental health, circles of drink and addiction, dark thoughts, confusion, paranoia, the apocalypse, virtual realities and technology - all handled in a mix of self-reflecting ironic bite and playful devilishness.

Songs of Embourgeoisement / Spite Cathedral

The Owlripper 2025-04-15 | 'The works of Spite Cathedral have been described as foreboding, overwhelmingly beautiful and at times very terrifying. Unnerving in a Hammer Horror way, awkwardly pleasant and even unholy and spiritual!'. 'Songs of Embourgeoisement' ticks all those boxes in its 40 minutes; covering disjointed machine-like noise, heavy brain smothering drones, nice ambient tones, abstract electronic beeps and flashes; gathered together with evocative titles telling big stories, left open enough to interpretation to have you diving back in for a future listen.

00:00 - 1. Fighting Trouble With Love
00:32 - 2. She Lives Inside Austin
11:47 - 3. Fontaine
15:35 - 4. Poems Of War

Tales of the Onion Knight as told by Yhorm, Schwarzer Tag ft. berg & Auntsoot x Opus Orium

The Owlripper 2025-04-04 | ⚔️ A tale of humility, loyalty, honesty, strength of belief, and never giving up, until the very last moments. A collaboration born from camaradaries forged in music, art, concept, mutual respect, deep thinking; inspired by dark souls of all kinds. A monolith to friendship. ⚔️

I am excited to present 'Tales of the Onion Knight'. Curated and performed by a friend in Yhorm, strongly aided by the inspiring expressive dark music makers known as Auntsoot and Schwarzer Tag, companioned by two talents in their own right - berg and Opus Orium.

This is an epic listen, brought to you by six wonder-filled minds.

Please give the whole piece time to unfold...

Words from Yhorm - 'This was originally planned as a small concept demo, but soon grew to be something much more. I started getting active as a musician again in 2022 after almost 12 years of musical silence, and in this time, I met so many incredible musicians, some turned into warm-hearted friends - and so it is with Schwarzer Tag and Auntsoot. '

Auntsoot was first to be involved, asking if he could create 'Intro/Outro' pieces. He brought Opus Orium into the group, an incredibly talented musician playing the harp.

'I love their way of creating sounds to carry emotions and thoughts, and their musical knowledge' (Yhorm says of Schwarzer Tag). They invited another impressive musician in berg (playing baroque flute) to join the heralds of the Onion Knight.

'A big special thank you to The Owl again, for making this possible; for mastering the tracks, for editing the covers and for publishing everything, thank you so much!'

Thank you to everyone who joined for, and joins in on this journey.

Reality Is Unreal / The Owl & Tomáš Homolík

The Owlripper 2025-03-26 | This collaboration is between myself and Tomáš Homolík (drummer of The Owls, Dno, Rosa Parks and more). Sounds collected over the course of nearly 3 years of The Owls rehearsals.

Writing session shards and rehearsal room remnants; excavated, hacked, dusted off, glued, cross stitched, turned inside out and placed on top of each other. A noisy, abstract, weird and glitchy jazzed up exterior, with a heart of atmospheric doom and black metal in a psychedelic hazy form. I hope it sounds like nothing you hear before.

I decided to post this on here, because it has riffs and crazy rhythms, and also broken beats, loops, twists and turns and weird noises abound, so hopefully a few ears will get something from it.

For those who get rehearsal room jam sessions and their lo-fi sound., Orthrelm, Lightning Bolt, Massola, Elastic Riot, jazzgrind, noisegrind, drums & bass kombinace, early Igorrr, Squarepusher. Please investigate those bands if you don't know them.

Cheers for giving it a blast.

00:00 - 1. Shut your eyes and play it again!
02:45 - 2. Festival season and feelings of freedom
07:18 - 3. Mindmelting groove fugue in D#

28:06 - 11. Landing on the moon in 100 seconds
29:46 - 12. Out of reach of gravitational pull
31:31 - 13. Half is half of what isn't unreal
32:51 - 14. To future explosions and two realities
34:46 - 15. Get on board, fly with us

Recorded and edited between
December 22nd 2021 & September 21st 2024

Captured on the trusty Zoom recorder; all in Klub Futra, Orlová, except for 'Return to ascend', recorded during a soundcheck for The Owls in Bašta, Bardejov, Slovakia and includes Blanka's vocals. I think this song and 'December 31st, 1979' would be great for The Owls.

When I was first getting into especially heavier and riffier styles of music as a kid, compilations were always a magical voyage of discovery, so I hope it works for you in this same exciting way, and that a few of the bands are new to you, taking you along new avenues of styles and knowledge you haven't started on yet.

If you discover some new favourites, please let us know.

Thank you especially to anyone who reads these words.
It's nice to know of others who do exist out there.

Made between November 11th 2024 and February 16th 2025, from piano, synth, voice, an unrecognisable remix of a Morbid Beauty track, plus field recordings around cottage and home - all entangled in there somewhere, hoping that you will listen deep enough to notice.

42 SECONDS Compilation 7 (Fast Slow Riffs Loud Quiet Noises Experimental Everything Sound Collage)

The Owlripper 2024-12-30 | "We are the ones who will hear, the answer to the great question of Life, The Universe And Everything...!" - There was a moment's expectant pause while panels slowly came to life on the front of the console. Lights flashed on and off experimentally and settled down into a businesslike pattern. A soft low hum came from the communication channel. "All right. The Answer to the Great Question... Of Life, the Universe and Everything... Is... Forty-two" said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

7980 seconds of short sonic stories - 190 tracks of exactly 42.000 seconds combine to make the 7th installment of these patchwork quilt compilations covering a crazy amount of styles from ambient, dungeon synth, drone, field recordings, electronic and minimal sounds, to grindcore, crust punk, black metal, death metal, doom metal, sludge, powerviolence, tech metal, to breakcore, noise, harsh noise, harsh noise wall, industrial. Just please sit back, listen, laugh, be entertained, enjoy.

Below is the list of projects and bands that took part in this colossal madness! There are 9.680322675E+351 different ways I could have ordered it. I hope you enjoy this specific one.

Elektrikytary / The Owl

The Owlripper 2024-12-09 | "This album is for all those ignited by metal, punk, grind, doom, black, thrash, speed riffs and noise chaos with spaced-out psychedelics!
Just one kid and a guitar. Play on 11!" (Tommy Vance, Radio 1 Rock Show 1991)
For all my friends in riffs over the years (bands and excitement of). You kept me alive, and I am so utterly absolutely massively appreciative of it. I don't take it for granted, I will never forget you all. If we've shared a riff moment in our lives, then that is part of this story. Crazy times led to an incredibly eventful life that I never thought I would have, or deserve, or know to be a part of. Thank you a děkuji vám a takk, and all other languages I wish I could learn whilst I exist!

00:00 - 1. We Came To Wreck Everything...
01:00 - 2. A Tomb Painted In Blood
03:01 - 3. Demented And Dented
10:11 - 4. The Wandering Man
17:41 - 5. ...And Ruin Your Lives
19:16 - 6. The Joyful Dance Of Macabre Minds
21:26 - 7. Smile! It's A Celebration
26:36 - 8. Extensive Obliteration (This is what my brain feels like on riffs)
29:16 - 9. Reflecting On The End Of A Journey

All original sounds from 4 hour improvised guitar session
in rehearsal room Klub Futra, Orlová - November 27th, 2022

Sped up, chopped, changed to become a new container of spikey, stringed slabs of skewered sound, with many separate sessions, until the happy day of July 26th 2024 when I could call it complete.

I was nervous or unsure whether to put this out there, for a long time. There's a much longer story, of course, but I will spare you and just say that it lived in an 'archive for releases I may never publish' for a year even after a lot of work on it, before recently reopening, figuring out how to finish it off, and then getting the confidence to let it go.

RIP Owen. I think I understand.
I think you would get all this.

'Got lost in riffs and space'.

Morbid Beauty & Mirocaw Parasites Consuming Parasites split album

The Owlripper 2024-12-03 | No matter what happens, the Earth will always beat the humans. When the parasites and fungi overrun our existence, another level of evolution and regeneration for this planet will begin. Images are from a Live Science article showing parasitic fungus bursting from a spider's body, and the TV series The Last Of Us about mushroom zombie people.

Both parts of the split made during October 2024. Mirocaw using guitar, synth, drums. MB using guitar, synth, drums and voice. Talks continued after Morbid Beauty remixed a Mirocaw track for a LOUDsilence release. Soon the split idea was spawned and cultivated.

00:00 - 1. Mirocaw - Sieniitiöiden riivaamat kuolleet odottavat vesiputouksen vieressä
19:03 - 2. Mirocaw - Luiden tuli lämmittää kylmää lihaasi
34:30 - 3. Morbid Beauty - Ophiocordyceps devoured by mycoparasitic fungal lineages
59:35 - 4. Morbid Beauty - humans eviscerating Earth

The Owl - Raise The Curtains album

The Owlripper 2024-11-27 | Continuing the series of releases, 'The Recluse', 'The Procession', 'The Forests', this is the fourth part that ties together all the sounds, styles and themes of its predecessors, whilst trying to find resolution and harmony in the whole collection and in my self.
I bare my all, in this world I create for me and with what I dare to share with you. Dancing to the sounds in my head. Moving with the feelings in my body. When I really take time to notice I am alive, all that ails me disappears, just for a moment. It is enough to allow me to discover, see, feel, focus...

On breathing, on learning, on exploring the outside and in. On taking in and appreciating more of this world. On knowing who I am and becoming who I want to be. Three dark ambient synth experimental noise drone doom soundtracks to help those trains of thought. Maybe they will do nice things for you as well.

00:00 - 1. In the forests and in the madness of nature, I find my centre
12:10 - 2. The procession of the pink fairy armadillos
34:45 - 3. Reclusive orchestrations and lifelong anonymity

The Owl & Säkkikangas split album (Experimental electronic noise)

The Owlripper 2024-11-23 | 'Gather around. It is time for a story'... It is an honour to join forces with Martin Režny on this split album. A truly fantastic, unique and clever Czech soundmaker, and massively active part of the experimental scene. The basic theme of my half is about my introduction to Martin, Karel of Korobushka Records and a lot more of the Czech musicians / experimental / noise related nice people, which happened at Neočekávaný Dýchánek II festival in 2020. It is also about finding ways to enjoy anything in any way, no matter how weird it may feel or possibly seem to others. Just find fun, be good to others, focus on positive things, listen close and stay sane.

Morbid Beauty - It Is Time To Start Running

The Owlripper 2024-11-17 | 'Is it safe...?' A question asked in the dying embers of the final cacophonic piece. No. It's not safe. It's not friendly. It's not 'nice'. This world isn't always safe or friendly or nice. I try to reflect that in my music. There are times and places for anger to be the spark, the catalyst, the fuel, and in recent times I have been angry with myself; at inactivity, at difficulties that life and my own brain and aging body throw at me... and eventually, that anger can be turned into motivation, momentum, productivity, positivity, creativity... and of course, NOISE!

This album feels part of a statement of intent, about running with new approaches, a part of the process of self, new and re-discovery. This is why it was also released onto Owlripper.

00:00 - 1. Are you sitting uncomfortably...
01:00 - 2. Ruining time for everyone
07:45 - 3. Scooping out the insides of the skull
12:55 - 4. Still feeling the effects of the formative years
30:55 - 5. Runaway train on a broken line
39:00 - 6. Digging up the graves of self-mutilation
40:00 - 7. Five minutes in a room with everyone in the world
45:00 - 8. The turning point
51:00 - 9. Hoods up, hammers out

Bonus points for naming the two films that the samples are from. Yes, it's time to play that game again! (More points for those who know which 90s rave song used the sample in 'Ruining time for everyone'!). That should take you back...

Made September 11th to October 15th 2024.

I thank everyone out there who is part of the ongoing Owlripper, The Owl and Morbid Beauty worlds.

The Owl - Live In The Lab album

The Owlripper 2024-11-13 | OWLISM - Owl's Weird Live Improvised Synth Meanderings continue... Thank you for stopping by my ramshackle house of oddities. Watch your step as the free roaming experiments slither and bounce around your feet. They say you don't need to be mad, but it helps, so with this enwrapped in your mind, please allow me to introduce you to mine where strangely the sounds unwind. Listen close, secrets are bound tightly within but they are there if you care, to hear and don't fear. I am alone with my creations, or are they alone with me? I am oft reluctant to set them free, or is it they who fear thee?

Contorted distortions and developed mutations. Breathing and tactile, deformed to beguile. If you enter with an open mind, and stay the whole while, the fabric of reality becomes a tactile textile
Peer in through the window of each chapter to reveal more insight into the meaning of their existence. It helped me understand more about my own and maybe it can help you in your quest to understand the self.

00:00 - 1. Petri Dish World
11:58 - 2. Warped Speed 3.14159
24:46 - 3. Dungeon Born Hydras
43:10 - 4. Unparalleled Beauty
50:45 - 5. How It All Began

Many thanks to Neal and Volker at Bromtol Largesse for releasing this album and generally for tons of interesting, weird, challenging, fun sounds on their label over the last few years. I am very pleased to be included amongst their discography.
bromtollargesse.bandcamp.com

The sounds were recorded in one day; October 20th 2023; on Arturia Minilab mkII synth through Reaper and a host of plug-ins and effects, with only a little bit of extra EQ and a few layers on the closing track. They were part of my practice for a solo synth-only gig in Ostrava on October 28th 2023; (the first time I ever played live in this way).

released February 26, 2024

The Owl Understanding Self album

The Owlripper 2024-11-08 | 5.5 years from first pen stroke to sharing the album it grew. An honest, cathartic release crossing a wide range of styles, about the sheer size of the universe and my place within it. It covers how to deal with thoughts about dying, how to find the positives even in those dark and bleak times, to help push creativity and mental journeys further in their infinite potentials. Releasing during Autumn 2024. In this time I passed 47.666 years of age. I hope this is only half of the journey! There is too much remaining untold. Wisdom tickles and torments the inside of my veins, so this is another attempt to relieve the tension inside and share some thoughts, stories, knowledge, shapes and sounds.

00:00 - 1. Those years I existed as a machine
07:15 - 2. When I look into my own mind, I know I have to help somehow
08:40 - 3. At the beginning, the snake eats its own tail in the end
12:10 - 4. A quick meditation on Peace
13:25 - 5. Watching the Earth behind you get smaller and smaller
22:30 - 6. An everlasting stream of unconsciousness (Concerto for piano, broken radio & antenna theremin)
41:03 - 7. There are too many self-portraits and not enough portrayals
44:03 - 8. She is my saviour
47:33 - 9. As the Sun burns away
56:48 - 10. Pinnacle

Drawing 'Simulacrum' 24.1.19
Sounds made with piano, keyboard, guitar, synth, laptop, radio, voice. 19.11.23 to 22.03.24
Chilled in a folder called 'Mixed collection' for a month until it felt right to simply keep them all together. Concept and titles tinkered with until 22.6.24 when the real story behind the sounds became evident, and 'Understanding Self' changed everything about how I think.

THE OWLS Floods Of Wisdom (Live in Klub Futra, Orlová 14.10.24)

The Owlripper 2024-11-05 | MUSIC FOR REVOLUTION. This is the latest new song by THE OWLS, and the first time we had played it in full live. Lyrics (below) are 'inspired'; more like fuelled and enraged by mine and Blanka's visit to Auschwitz earlier in the year. This is where the 'No tolerance for intolerance' mantra really became even more a foundational part of what we are doing. This gig was part of a great night amongst friends, Tilikum and La Casa Fantom at Klub Futra, Orlová on October 14th, 2024.
----------------
- LYRICS -
----------------
We must all act as the blockade
Never stop the outrage at those atrocities
We will scream with our final breath
and fight until our last drop of strength
We still have a lot of work to do
As a species, as individuals
as collectives in which we gather
We must all act as the blockade

There will never be a future
for your culture of hate
Fuck your final solution
Resistance will always prevail

If you deny this ever happened
Then you can fucking rot
If you wish for more reservoirs of blood
Then you can fucking drown
There should be no remorse
for those with excuseless opinions
There is no time to stay silent
about their attempts at an uprising

As the sun set melts away, into a colour filled new day
Our strength is in numbers, higher than they can count
Rebrand 'the right' as 'the wrong' and never let them rise again.
Our floods of wisdom will never be dammed - never be dammed.

We saw the sea of shoes
We cried at the mountains of hair
The stripping of identity,
worn as a coat of honour.

We have seen the photographs
of millions of desolate eyes,
of screaming souls herded away
from families and their homes

Sickening stories
of pure human evil
that will stay with us
until our end...
that will stay with us
Until our end...

- ( NO TOLERANCE FOR THE INTOLERANT ) -

As the sun set melts away, into a colour filled new day
HERE WE STAY
Our strength is in numbers, higher than they can count
MORE THAN THEM
Rebrand 'the right' as 'the wrong' and never let them rise again.
FUCK THEIR HATE
Our floods of wisdom will never be dammed
NO HOLDING BACK

HERE WE STAY
MORE THAN THEM
FUCK THEIR HATE
NO HOLDING BACK

Rebrand 'the right' as 'the wrong'
Do not let them rise again
Rebrand 'the right' as 'the wrong'
Do not let them rise again

Big thanks to all of them. It is wonderful to have this sort of document of the evening.

The animation (in the background of us playing, and then for the remainder of the track) is the incredible 'Музыка революции' (Music For Revolution), which I used previously on an ambient noise experimental track called 'Stranglehold':

Coconut Massacre - Whos To Doom

The Owlripper 2024-10-31 | Coconut Massacre (Infectious post-punk and dark electronic sounds made by a sole human in Berlin). Prepare yourself for the immensity and addictiveness of 'Who's To Doom'. Sit back and enjoy it to its fullest. Let these infectious earworms bury themselves into your consciousness. Once they are in, that's where they will stay, to shake the foundations of self and to help you reach an enlightened height.... or simply to feel the need to have a damn good dance around the room!

This has been a pretty huge project for both Coconut Massacre and then myself in collaboration. Since the initial demos were presented to me, 15 months has passed, with many revises of all aspects of the release. We are both beyond eager now to present this album to you.

00:00 - 1. Sense of Wonder
04:30 - 2. Gaol King
06:45 - 3. God Has Given
09:35 - 4. Dahiya/Macerie
14:30 - 5. A Shadow of a Doubt
19:20 - 6. Cattle
23:05 - 7. Vampirism
31:35 - 8. Blindfold (live in Appenrode)

The Owl Pinnacle video

The Owlripper 2024-10-29 | Video for closing track from the album 'Understanding Self', which uses footage filmed on a train journey through Czech forest and mountain regions. The stops are from Frýdlant nad Ostravicí to Čeladná, and then onwards to Kunčice pod Ondřejníkem, which is where me and Blanka have a mountain forest cottage to escape to from time to time. I am spending increasingly more time there in recent months, and the views around there are absolutely spectacular. I already feel lucky to be alive and where I am, but this takes those notions to a whole other level.

I hope by the closing moment of this video, you will understand why I am so appreciative and in awe of it all. I thank anyone who is here, checking this out, reading these words. As said in the past many times, it still rings true now that I make these sounds for myself, my escape, my fun, my expansive of knowledge and of understanding more about myself and my inner workings, but I never take for granted those times when someone stops by for a look or a listen. It all helps me feel a part of this planet in some way.

Download 'Understanding Self': theowl.bandcamp.com/album/understanding-self

The album was also released by The Church Of Noisy Goat, which I describe as 'One of the most important labels in the experimental, noise, electronic, ambient, netlabel universe'. There are approaching 1000 releases on their Bandcamp, which is a crazy achievement in itself. I am very thankful to them for supporting what I do as The Owl, and for the underground and experimental music scenes generally. Go spend some time on their pages.

Morbid Beauty - Transcending Mental Experience

The Owlripper 2024-10-27 | "A forest of decaying iron, its rusted spires like dead trees unswaying in the sandblast winds. There is no shelter from the relentless clouds of glass-sharp debris that scour this place, no solace beneath the suffocating miasma that blankets the land. Harsh, primitive, relentless, and unforgiving, only an undivine curse would draw a poor soul here, never again to leave."

00:00 - 1. Do Not Move
06:40 - 2. Cultivating Emptiness
26:30 - 3. Recalibrating The Central Nervous System
34:00 - 4. Meditations From The Outer Limits

Big thank you to Ben of Machine Tribe Recordings for committing this release to a wild looking tape, and for guidance, patience and poetic introductory review! I am definitely honoured and pleased to be a part of this discography.

Grab one of the limited tapes: mtrecdistro.bandcamp.com/album/transcending-mental-experience

"In 'Pulse Demon', Merzbow sent a challenge to all to make harsh noise as psychedelic and trip worthy as possible. 'Transcending' responds. Look at the pictures whilst listening. Prepare for strong neural sensations. Slow time down, so you can sit inside the sounds. You can trust this to listen as loud as you can stand.

The Owl video - In the calm beauty of everything (The Life Of Death animation)

The Owlripper 2024-10-24 | A simple piano piece attempting to find the most peaceful, meditative, sombre, emotional but hopeful place in myself. The universe is beyond my comprehension. Sometimes it is too easy to feel lost, alone, scared at the magnitude of it all. We know death awaits us all. I find it hard to be at ease with these notions, but music and making the most of the time and creativity I have solidifies my place on the ground. I hope you find your own peace, to be able to focus on things you love the most in this insane, chaotic, violent, but also utterly spellbinding and beautiful world. Thank you for being here.

This is the first track from the album 'Full Moon Eclipse'. The album will be released Friday 1st November 2024, onto CD by Menschenfeind Propaganda (thanks to a very good friend in Yhorm. Followers of Owlripper know his work from the majestic 'Dagon' album, the most played video on this channel).

'Sound experiments since 1994; as The Owl since 2018. Currently 136 releases here: theowl.bandcamp.com
Follow Yhorm for updates on the physical release of 'Full Moon Eclipse' (and for lots more awesome and inspiring music): yhorm.bandcamp.com

/////

If you enjoyed this piano piece, then here is another one from my archives (2020) - 'A Grandiloquent Entrance Through The Final Portal', from the 'Ambient Piano Vol. 1' album. It uses the 'Sovy Nezhnye' (Tender Owls) animation. These two are probably the most emotional piano pieces I've made. I really should do more!
youtube.com/watch?v=8CCh_7bJEcA

If you enjoyed this piece, but also like heavier music, I suggest listening to this afterwards. 'It Is Time To Rest, My Friend' is a doom metal oriented track made on piano through distortion pedals, and the video uses part of Lucifer Rising.
youtube.com/watch?v=H_GT7c_VVjw

Listen to 'Dagon' by Yhorm; an absolute must for fans of dungeon synth, black metal, drone and dark ambient, HP Lovecraft and concept albums.

The Owl Gathering Thoughts album (Experimental dark ambient electronic drone noise abstract music)

The Owlripper 2024-10-21 | 'Time is short, gather your hidden treasures!'.
Whoever I am. Wherever I will go. Whenever it will all end. I will remain as I was when I began, searching endlessly for something more than myself, beyond what I can possibly know. Re: invention - I gather my thoughts. Regarding the interventions - These are some of the stories.

00:00 - 1. Forever thinking with both shoulders
03:10 - 2. My childhood clock radio was my hero
07:43 - 3. Practicing meditation to recover from trauma
17:43 - 4. Dream in drone and feel complete
23:23 - 5. Of course, each memory could be its own chapter
24:38 - 6. The first one to question why
25:53 - 7. An invitation for planetary invasion
26:53 - 8. A plan I planned to plant a plan in a plant
27:53 - 9. From the shadows appear five sirens to tantalise and tease
45:53 - 10. I hope the bird that crashed into my window lived
52:03 - 11. Moments before the profound impact
55:08 - 12. Owls are from Mars, Eagles are from Venus
56:38 - 13. I have made it this far, I may as well keep going
01:12:03 - 14. In the kingdom of the final sleep

Thank you Willard of Spukkopf and Haunted Head (for talks, 'time' quote and release). The quote gave me a big nudge of energy and momentum to compile, complete and look to release the album:
hauntedheadrecs.bandcamp.com

The Owl 136th release, full discography from here:
theowl.bandcamp.com/album/gathering-thoughts

/////

Recently I have been trying to complete more releases and gather up songs and sounds that shouldn't die inside unsorted folders, with the mindset that each release could be my last.

It is a terrifying thought, and it won't be the last time I express it, but it is pushing me to be more honest, open, thoughtful, introspective and (hopefully) profound, so maybe it isn't a bad approach.

This is an amalgamation of an album ('Whoever I Am Wherever I Am'), 2 EPs ('Gather The Strays' and one about the bird that concussed itself flying into my bedroom window), all then worked on more to fit the bigger, new overall concept.

I drew the image on the cover in September 1996. I had the DNA symbol part of it tattooed on me around a year afterwards.

Made between January 5th and July 12th 2024, on synth, keyboard, guitar, piano, voice, sounds captured in and around the house.

Thank you to those who see these words, read the stories, hear the sounds. May you find something that resonates in any way.

Sloth Hammer - We Are The Slowbots

The Owlripper 2024-10-10 | Sloth be thy name. Hammer brings thee doom. Slow will be done, in space as it is on earth.
Today brings forth the third installment of The Hohm Quadrilogy by Sloth Hammer, namely 'We Are The Slowbots'. Three improvised mammoths born in deep space sludge, made on one day of summoning slothular sonic suffering. FFO Hawkwind, Iron Monkey, Gorguts, Primitive Man, Full Of Hell, The Body, early Primus at the wrong speed, Floor, Merzbow, transcendental psychedelic blackened doom sludge extravaganza, that 'z' sound in riffs, the sound of many psychotic breaks all at once amplified thousand fold.

The story that unfolds after that seems logical.

00:00 - 1. Carnival At The End Of Space And Time
13:43 - 2. The Depredation Psalm
29:18 - 3. Leviathans Of Anguish

CrAwE album - AllGreatTruthsBeginAsBlasphemy (Cinematic atmospheric drone doom ambient soundscapes)

The Owlripper 2024-10-01 | I am a long time fan of CrAwE, musically and of the human behind it, so it is a pleasure to present this atmospheric, cinematic, ambient drone doom journey of an album made for Owlripper. "Inspired by constant process of Humanity being Doomed into making the same fateful choices time and time again. The only path to hope is finding balance and solidarity with all life and placing need over greed and ego. Only then will we be able to move forward into the stars together… Solidarity with oppressed people all over the planet."

Her Menacing Pet album - The Adoration of Rosafiere (Dark ambient soundscapes drone minimal ritual)

The Owlripper 2024-09-22 | "Rosafiere" tells the story of a woman trapped by the circumstances of her birth where superstition and obsession runs deep. In the gloomy village of Wyrmwood, where superstitions clung to the air like mist on a moonlit night, Rosafiere's life unfolded beneath the shadow of a dark omen. Born during a solar eclipse, her arrival cast an unsettling pall over the townspeople, who believed that such an occurrence bore a mark of unnatural significance.

As Rosafiere grew, so did the inexplicable fascination of the villagers. The eclipse had imprinted upon her an ethereal quality that both captivated and terrified the inhabitants of Wyrmwood. Their adoration, however, took a sinister turn, transforming into a collective obsession that strangled the life out of the young girl."

00:00 - 1. Rosafiere's Lament
02:14 - 2. Obsidian Dreamscape
11:03 - 3. Fragments of a Pallid Mind
15:16 - 4. Silent Sorrows
19:28 - 5. Elegy for the Bedeviled
23:20 - 6. Veiled Whispers
26:45 - 7. Nocturne
32:17 - 8. Lullaby
36:06 - 9. A Coterie of Zealots
40:40 - 10. Rosafiere's Funeral March
43:04 - 11. Vengeance from the Mausoleum

CrAwE video - NewBeginningsOrOldEndings (Edit by The Owl)

The Owlripper 2024-09-18 | Spaced out ambient, doom and drone metal tinged soundscapes, now mixed with psychedelic colourful patterns, to (hopefully) help you 'find balance and solidarity with all life' to 'move forward into the stars together'. That is the CrAwE ideology, being lifted higher on the forthcoming album 'AllGreatTruthsBeginAsBlasphemy', releasing on Owlripper October 1st 2024, and this video is for the closing song on that truly epic journey.

Her Menacing Pet video - Nocturne (Edit by The Owl)

The Owlripper 2024-09-17 | "Wyrmwood, once a picturesque village, became a haunted realm where the living and the dead coexisted in a macabre dance of retribution. Rosafiere, no longer bound by the constraints of mortality, had become the phantom orchestrator of her revenge, a spectre that would forever haunt those who had broken her."
Her Menacing Pet's 'The Adoration of Rosafiere' album is released onto Owlripper, September 22nd, 2024. A must for dark ambient, ritual, drone, soundscape devourers.

Morbid Beauty - We hoped for death to justify life (Dark ambient drone noise harsh noise wall Ecran)

The Owlripper 2024-09-16 | 'It's only as the death fears grow, that I take even more interest in living. Don't let the grasp around those seconds go. Your wishes for them to return will be in vain...'

00:00 - 1. Celebration of everything that ever went wrong
22:25 - 2. Eventually squeezed to a bloody dislocated mess
45:45 - 3. The purgatory of never quite hearing the voices in your own head
01:03:45 - 4. Sickening flickering; an epileptic nightmare
01:20:55 - 5. I am always watching from inside the inferno

Lavatone Tumbleweedians album (Dark Ambient Soundscapes Ritual Drone Tribal)

The Owlripper 2024-09-09 | For those into dark ambient, drone, ritual and related sounds, this is a must. I hope the nine superbly fine crafted soundscapes reach your ears and mind, and help make it a better day as a result. "The concept of the album started off with me thinking about an alien planet inhabited by tumbleweed beings. How they could just roll their legs up and let the wind blow them to the next destination. Maybe travelling on the wind to see a dead body..... now that I think about it."

Lavatone's sounds have helped me through some very difficult times, and also been part of happier, hyperfocused and more relaxed times as well, over the last few years. I am grateful to Lavatone, in presenting me with this musical tale to release on Owlripper.

Since you are this far into the sonic story being told on these pages, here is a Lavatone album you can highly trust to listen and look far deep into.

00:00 - 1. Earth Divide 2
06:30 - 2. Goathead
13:03 - 3. Dead Leaf Mantis
19:29 - 4. Tumbleweedians
24:38 - 5. The Moon Behind The Mountain
33:12 - 6. Turbine Fields
40:44 - 7. Amy Ants
50:09 - 8. Rainday
56:40 - 9. Tumblegeddon

The Owlripper 2024-09-05 | For those that are really here, who listen close and see the patterns; in the waves, in the eyes, in the mind. Please meditate. Thank you to Lavatone for the upcoming album 'Tumbleweedians'. I will truly proudly release it on Owlripper on September 9, 2024. A real favourite soundscape creator. I hope you enjoy and fall inside the visual edit, made from a Lavatone live session, footage of the moon, Shotcut.
