"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."

Mark Twain

Earlier this week I kicked off my very own label – Ossen – with the cassette release of my new album Soar under the moniker Tharr. Ossen operates as a nexus for continuously releasing experimental/abstract art in various digital and physical forms. For the time being I'll focus on putting out music by mainly me and other local artists on cassette tapes as well as an assortment of prints.

The project Soar then is Tharr's sophomore project following up the wonderful 2014 debut EP galdri. It's a 40 minute somber journey through contemplative, meandering soundscapes. There's 30 cassettes – sporting a beautiful artwork designed by Petrikov – available for purchase on Bandcamp. You'll only have to pay the raw production cost and can leave a small tip on top of that for whatever the creative work is worth to you. Works well with headphones!

Tune in and reach out on the following sites:

With only one month left on the calendar the decade is drawing to a close and I sat down to recollect my favorite tunes released during the past ten years. Needless to say it was very hard boiling it down to these fifty tracks, but in retrospect it's awesome to see how much music overall still had room to grow into so many directions and I'm super excited to listen to what's ahead of us.

How in the world could I not have come across Akiya Kageichi's art until now? His whole cadence is mind-boggling!

Lights down, waves low,
high up all in your realm –
You know where to find me,
could just make it so.
Rendering the frantic,
right before I go.

Have a little reminder that Curiosity's out there pushing a constant influx of raw images from our neighbor.
