جامع حلب الكبير | al jalloum | tape out now

very gladly taking the opportunity to announce that my latest release, the great mosque of aleppo - al jalloum, is now available as an ultra-limited edition cassette tape and 24bit digital download from my bandcamp page.

two fifteen-minute instrumental compositions, based on the original 'great mosque of aleppo' 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.

جامع حلب الكبير | al jalloum | tape coming soon

gladly presenting, the great mosque of aleppo - al jalloum, and nine days in serpent graves. 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 long desert dark, within the realms of the blackened night. 

al jalloum finds us buried yet deeper within abyssal sub-bass frequencies, slow wailing saxophones, and menacing field recordings that groan and threaten to buckle under their own weight, slowly building into an unnerving incantation from the long desert dark.

nine days in serpent graves, in contrast, finds us caught in a hallucinogenic free-jazz sound-field that seems almost to come from the classical-experimental world, as much as the dark-jazz underworld, before slowly falling away into a dream-like state that looms ominously to its conclusion. 

available from 8th december as an ongoing digital download, and ultra-limited-edition cassette tape of only twelve copies; be sure to investigate when the time comes, and allow yourself time to be swept up into the ethereal incantations and to bathe in the psychotropic sound-fields. 

be well
