New Release on NOISEVERSUM out now:
@stgltz_sound_and_noise & @trailofghosts , two artists dear to my heart, what a wonderful, delightful piece of music!
'This release presents a special collaboration between TrailOfGhosts (Alvin, Texas, US) and STGLTZ (Cologne, Germany).
The artists exchanged audio recordings and each developed an independent piece based on the other’s material, shaping it through their own distinct artistic approach. The result is two contrasting works, each carrying a unique and hypnotic character.
Listeners are invited to engage with these pieces openly and immerse themselves in their unfolding textures.'

Thanks so much @dittany.of.crete for including me in Summoning II. This is an outstanding compilation, that I'm currently on my second playthrough of. My contribution is based on the idea of an ancestral mound and was created with voice, guitar, synth, field and found sound recordings. ✨

We are very excited about this release! Zone of Avoidance is a meeting point between Marax and TrailOfGhosts (Texas), a split release shaped by the vast, unknowable expanse of space and the internal reflections it provokes.
Both artists lean into patience as a core principle. Sounds are not rushed—they are allowed to exist, to breathe, to stretch into passages where the smallest shifts carry the most weight. Tones flicker like distant signals; textures drift like cosmic dust suspended in endless black.
There is a deliberate avoidance of density for its own sake. Instead, restraint becomes the guiding force, creating a sense of openness that mirrors the infinite. Each track occupies its own orbit, yet both works remain in quiet dialogue—connected by mood, by distance, by an unspoken understanding of space as both external and internal.
In this way, Zone of Avoidance becomes less about presence and more about perception: the feeling of being suspended between points, where silence, distance, and sound converge into something contemplative and vast.

So why cling to life?”

I hesitate to write reviews as I lack the relationship with words to properly describe intricacies of releases. But I am always listening to the work of my friends/contemporaries to keep me company in life. I had a lovely listen to A Surfeit of Lampreys by @fleaspit_thegoldenspiral this morning. Not only did this assist in the anxious energy I wanted to complete my chores, it assisted me on a looping tour through the dank recesses of my tortured mind.😁 I need to visit here every so often.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and repeated the last track because it's my favorite. 🙌
Thanks a lot to @dittany.of.crete for including me in their first compilation, Summoning I.
I am having a listen now, and really enjoying the diverse collection of supernatural/occult/horror inspired tracks. My track Caves is what you hear playing and is dedicated to the mystery and lore behind Mother Nature's rocky pockets🪨📻
