Just a reminder that the EP "Kestrel" has a beautiful YouTube music video that I think makes for a nice break.

Also check out track 2 of the EP on Bandcamp, which is the song itself but played on piano... I think it's special!

Here is "Forgotten Relics", a compilation of old tracks by my side-project SUSPIRIA.

It's March 31st, meaning that it's now officially 4 years since the release of "A Crown More Silent Than the Stars". It was my foray back into making music in general, so it is a landmark for me.

All store merch will be offered in sublimation print only. This means slightly higher costs, but the finished result is ultra quality and truly special.

Some designed have been temporarily pulled until it's possible to get everything available again.

I have been finishing up my next release, titled "May Our Glorious Demise Outshine Our Greatest Failures" - a singular 25 minute or so dark ambient/drone piece.

Short enough for the piece to have something cohere t to say and long enough to become fully immersed.

Out sometime this week!

Good day everyone,

Just a reminder that the uplifting track, "Kestrel", off the 2023 EP of the same name, has a music video on YouTube (link below).

No fantasy visuals, castles or knights - just the beauty of nature, since that's what inspired me to make this music.

I hope you enjoy it!
