Jack Phantom and the Exquisite Corpse Cabaret – Ghosts
Smoky, dark and experimental jazz that would be at home soundtracking the most stylishly disturbing noir film imaginable.

Kikai – 0123
A just-modernized take on classic Berlin School, full of warm synthesizer sweeps, percolating arpeggios, cosmic melodies, and relaxed beats.

Reminder, cause I see a post about them going around, #TheCrowHillCompany is run by notorious transphobe Christian Henson and if you support human rights you sure as fuck shouldn't be using their products, much less shilling for them.
ESPECIALLY today, of all days.

If you're looking for some affordable artwork options without resorting to AI, may I suggest the work of Perplexing Ruins? He's an illustrator that works mostly in fantasy and sci fi who runs a super cheap Patreon that offers illustrations. He mostly intends them for #TTRPG use but I've confirmed with him that using them as album art is totally cool!
His Patreon is here:
https://www.patreon.com/c/perplexingruins/home
And you can see more examples of his work at Bluesky

My 2022 album Tales of Etherspace is still a decent intro to my work. Its 16 tracks cover both my accessible, "musical" side but also my weirder, abrasive "experimental" side --all in tight timeframes (longest track is just 4 min!).

Headphones recommended!
A musical spaceship for traveling inner space. Synthesizers, sound design and strange music. He/him. Let's talk about music, art and sound!
