Thorn1 is the first Silber artist from Russia. It’s about time given the links so much of our music has to frozen winters & how influenced we all are by hundred year-old Russian novels. Reminiscent of Silber artists like Aarktica, Remora, Vlor , & If Thousands; Thorn1 has a flavor all of its own blending drone, shoegaze, electronics, & nature sounds with stories of love & loss, angst & hope. Thorn1 was founded in 2005 in the Altai region of Russia by Evgeny Zheyda as a side project of his post-grunge band Partisani. Zheyda discarded his previous musical experiences & instead explored sound, analyzing the structure of music & its influence on human consciousness. Thorn1 tended both toward melodic songs & the atonal noise that creates surreal soundscapes, but it was clear that at some point they would be combined into one unique beast. In late 2008 after a personal tragedy Zheyda left Partisani to devote himself to Thorn1. The search for solace culminated in So Far As Fast, the first official release of the young artist. The album is filled with funeral hymns, snowstorms, the freezing breath of solitude, & the hope for a shining future. Post angst music from Siberia. Tracks like “Drone,” “Why Am I Here So Distant From My Old Life,” & “Snow Is Abstract” are shimmering guitar pieces that feel like the warm blankets that let you survive winter nights. “Safe Trip” brings a feeling of frustration & controlled rage with guitar strings hit so hard they can be heard over the volume of the amplifier. “And Death Shall Have No Dominion” brings a feeling of closure & hope in something approaching Americana. “Dissosense” combines somber piano & vocals with disco beats. The album closes with a piano rendition of the Aarktica classic “Welcome Home.” The album shifts with ease all over musical & emotional maps portraying the inner workings of grief & the celebration of survival; So Far As Fast acts as a passport into Zheyda’s heart, mind, & soul.
10 track album
Dead Man's Tuning 2026 - 11 track release - under the shadow of Zen Cat Productions in Asheville, NC. This is a sonic journey down some dark paths - each track seems to linger through places of isolation and the boarders of abandonment. You will be met with walls of drone and lingering feedback, decaying guitar riffs layered over driven bass progressions, the appearance of distorted drum machine sequences and broken melodies make up this internal sound track.
A sonic journey down some dark paths - each track lingering in isolation & bordering on abandonment. Walls of drone & lingering feedback, decaying guitar riffs, overdriven bass progressions, distorted drum machines, broken melodies. Part post rock, part post-apocalyptic ambient, where shoegaze & drone collide like a car hit by a train. Enjoy.

Raw, instrumental and haunting garage rock /// solo project attempt at a pseudo-"full band live performance" sonic sensation
In 2020, shortly before the world was shut down, Remora was on a new trajectory. Seldom appearing live as a solo project nor having rehearsals in a meaningful way, the project was improvisational with simple concepts shaped by the evening's performers. This piece is built around a music box plinking out an A in a simple rhythm to keep timing & key while the players improvise. I believe this was the last Remora show & at this point it is unclear if there will ever be a resurrection.
2nd release by the Astral Object alias
Le Champ des Pleurs // A Way To Catch The Moon
Summery, downtempo, and post-rock-inspired palette of ambient electronica, this LP is a reflection of new life changes, academic studies in biology, and a life-changing trip to a Gulf Coast island that reset the mind. This album is ultimately devoted to our Earth, light inside the darkness of today, the microorganisms that are pure and sentient, quiet escapes like the beach at night. Solace is more important than ever. Take a trip to those places when you can and hang on.
i believe the people we meet shape us into who we are, even if in the smallest ways. we pick up habits, fears, loves, opinions, and so much else. without these people we would be nothing. as can be seen in the sky, with stars connecting to form something larger than themselves, something different and special. there was never a single star, only the constellation. this is my constellation.
Released in 2021, "Naïf, potser" it is our third LP. It contains a song half-written and recorded with Inumazigh, a group originally from the Sahel.
