"This is the water And this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within." - David Lynch
This compilation combines a lot of things from Silber's 30 year history as well as it's pre-history. Music as sound. Communicating unsure thoughts through storytelling. I feel really lucky with how this one fell together. Enjoy.
A new enigmatic, mist-shrouded, dream-drenched sonic apparition from Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt. Der Schweinepriester (The Pig Priest). The magnetic spell takes hold. A voice recites, adrift in a fog of tinkling bells, guitaristic mishaps, ethereal jazz phantoms, ambient noise wall (like a cloud above) and drones that fog up the windows of your souls, themselves so deliciously lost in the throes of their own exquisite perdition. The creator of a dreamlike, surrealist world whose endlessly fascinating nooks and crannies we are invited to explore, one record at a time. Releases that have, over the years, gradually become entries in an intimate sonic diary to which we have been granted the extraordinary privilege of access. A wondrous artist whose creative journey remains a perpetual miracle. -Sir Kuliktavikt

Welcome to Wakefield. The Merrie City. County Town of the West Riding. Capital of the Rhubarb Triangle. The year is 1984. I've got a Saver Strip, a pocketful of change, and I have to be home by tea.
David is one of my favorite poets. He is my introduction to poetry. "Sometimes" is a poem that keeps giving me goosebumps every time and it inspired me to make a goose-bumping drum & bass track. A bit eerie, a bit heavy and nasty, and wonderfully philosophical.
A lost soul wanders the hillside in a hypnotic daze. Initially guided by an innate yearning, he soon realizes that he doesn't actually know what he is looking for. As he looks for clues in his surroundings, both the hillside and his body begin to warp. Will he find his way or lose himself to this place?
What an immeasurable joy it is to finally welcome a work by Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt into the haunted halls of ECHØVEIL. Sean is an American performance artist, musician, and free improviser, born in Chicago and now based in Berlin. He is renowned for his astonishingly prolific body of work spanning the vast territories of experimental music in all its forms. He is perhaps best known for developing the Accidental Guitar Method—a practice in which chance, intuition, and improvisation become equal partners in the live composition and recording process. To date, Sean has released more than 700 albums, either solo or in collaboration with fellow sonic explorers, each one presenting entirely original and previously unheard material. It is one of the most fascinating, uncompromising, and constantly evolving artistic journeys I have ever encountered. "Fremder in einer fremden Welt" (A Stranger in a Strange World) unfolds across fifteen mesmerizing minutes somewhere between sound art, ambient noise, musique concrète, spoken word, and field recordings. It is the kind of piece one gladly loses oneself inside—again and again—each return revealing new luminescent subtleties, unfamiliar surreal landscapes, impossible shades of sound, and breathtaking textures that seemed absent only moments before. Every listen gently dismantles your bearings. Every listen redraws the map. And every listen leaves you just a little more beautifully lost. -Sir Kuliktavikt
"of Children and Their Sorceries" sees Black Leather Birds continuing its exploration of immersive, world-building music where spoken word, experimental rock, ambient sound design, and ritual chant coexist. Across five tracks, the EP examines anxiety, memory, home, and the strange significance that ordinary objects can accumulate over a lifetime. Literary in both tone and structure, its songs unfold less as narratives than as inhabited spaces -- places where tension, nostalgia, grief, and acceptance are allowed to linger and intermingle.
7 track experimental dungeon synth EP
A collection of vocal iterations, audio manipulations, and synth drones with a touch of sardonic sedition, Silence is Contagious refers to how silence is thematic to each song in relation to inaction, authoritarianism, and oppression.
This experimental avant-garde spoken word and sound collage project by Clelia, released through Treefrog Productions on February 13, 2026, presents an English-language exploration of texture, voice, and musical abstraction. Rooted in an experimental mood and style, the album weaves fragmented narration with layered sonic elements, drawing inspiration from the minimalist and conceptual traditions associated with Alvin Lucier and the boundary-pushing aesthetic found in retrospectives from Ninja Tune. The material was first recorded in Fall 2023 under the band name San Beulah, an experimental side project created by Clelia during a period when she did not feel comfortable releasing music under her real name. San Beulah functioned as a creative vessel for risk-taking and sonic experimentation, allowing the work to emerge organically before being consolidated and presented under her primary artist identity. Originating from Virginia, United States, the album stands as a cohesive merging of spoken word performance and musical collage, emphasizing atmosphere, narrative fragmentation, and avant-garde composition pooling from a period in which resources were very limited.
Highlights from the first three years of LA's number-one avant-garde personal development program
A moody response to navigating the pandemic. Full of melancholia, wonder and a sense of abiding attitude.
