الحمراء‎ | court of the lions | out now

very gladly taking the opportunity to announce that my latest release, alhambra - court of the lions, is now available as an ultra-limited edition cassette tape and digital download from my bandcamp page.

two fifteen-minute instrumental compositions, based on the original 'alhambra' piece from my 'sittah sittah sab'ah' album, the release is an instrumental journey into arabian-influenced-dark-jazz-doom-drone.

please do be sure to think about securing yourself one of the twelve hand-crafted cassettes, or a copy of the download which also includes a six-page digital booklet with auxiliary materials. get involved.

الحمراء‎ | court of the lions | coming soon

gladly presenting, alhambra - court of the lions, and the architect's garden. two sprawling, dream-like re-investigations of the original piece to be found on the 'sittah.sittah.sab'ah' album, and taking us further into the hallucinogenic depths of the shimmering desert-sea palace by way of psychedelic incantations. 

court of the lions finds us buried deep within abyssal sub-bass frequencies, wailing trumpets and doom-like oud passages, that so very slowly build into a vast dirge of monolithic proportions, yet one so measured and deliberate in its intent to crush. 

the architect's garden, in contrast, finds us caught in a shimmering sunlit dream of droning saxophone and oud, field recordings and hazy, blissful recollections of distant shores slowly coming into focus, before trailing back away into a lilting still. 

available from monday as an ongoing digital download, and ultra-limited-edition cassette tape of only twelve copies; be sure to investigate immediately, and allow yourself time to be swept up into the thunderous storm and to bathe in the warming radiance. get involved.

الحمراء‎ | video out now

lowest-resolution salvaged reels of the second video to accompany my forthcoming tape release on mism records are now available to stream exclusively from my youtube channel; field reports from the projection room. might we present with some trepidation, the alhambra.

sourced and cut using obsolete technology within the iron filings and sellotape compound, the film contains poorly-lit moments of strange psychedelic imagery to the sounds of the second song to be made public from my first official solo full-length release. be sure to investigate when the moment takes you.

keep safe
