New Release – Departure at Phoebe

Good afternoon fellow quarantiners! I am excited to announce, that I’ve released a new album through Dark Duck Records, “Departure at Phoebe”! Hopefully this helps pass the time while we are all stuck at home, and dreaming of distant places…

Beginning our ethereal journey through the cosmos, by first slowly drifting and making our way first to Saturn. After a long voyage surrounded both by darkness and bright points of light, where our mind wanders aimlessly and with abandon… allowing us to dream up previously unimaginable but tangible thoughts, and contemplate the world around us. A flyby of Saturn’s rings, and its moon of Phoebe, where we finally make our departure into deep space. Our departure begins at Phoebe, which brings to an end this part of our ambient journey.

Departure at Phoebe is musical nature’s first full album released through Dark Duck Records. Stephen and Geoff have previously collaborated on Dark Duck Records releases including the X Series and the Drone Download Project. Now after nearly a decade, comes Departure at Phoebe. musical nature has been releasing long form ambient and experimental ambient music since 1998.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Limited Edition Eco-Pack CDs of Solstice Chill, legion d’honneur, Layers 2 and Eavesdropping are Now Available!

When I first started publishing my music, after my first release through a long defunct label Orbit Music (album: Forgotten Textures) back in 1998, I started releasing my music through the also now defunct MP3.com via their Digital Audio Music (D.A.M.) CDs, which was a print-on-demand service. Years later, I then found Lulu.com, and began to publish through there. They eventually dropped the CD print-on-demand service as well.

I then started releasing my music as digital only releases, through BandCamp, and all major digital music services such as Amazon, Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, etc. And, except for short run CD-R releases I had made over the years and sold individually, I have never produced real physical copies in any sort of bulk. That has now changed!

I now have limited edition 50-CD runs of Solstice Chill, legion d’honneur, Layers 2 and Eavesdropping. These are in Eco-Pack sleeves, they are the similar to a jacket, but there is no glue, printed with eco-friendly inks, and is stored in a re-sealable cellophane bag.

Ask when ordering if you would like the cover, inside cover, or disc signed before I ship it out!

If you would prefer additional options when shipping, please contact me after the sale, and we can work out payment and additional shipping options such as insurance, delivery signature, etc.

Includes unlimited streaming of Eavesdropping via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

New Release – 74m 1s

74m 1s

74m 1s

Released: January 22, 2017

A re-interpretation of Moby’s “long ambients1: calm. sleep.” released in March of 2016 to the world for free, to do what they want with. He provided about 4 hours in total of music in this release, and I am planning on doing several re-interpretations of them, this being the first. All source material used is from this album.

In the words of Moby “it’s really quiet: no drums, no vocals, just very slow calm pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga and etc. and feel free to share it or give it away or whatever, it’s not protected or anything, or at least it shouldn’t be.”

To get and to listen to the original source material, visit moby.com/la1/

This, just like the source material, is also free to do what you want with it.

New Release – Torchwood Archive – (Cambridge) 剑桥

I’ve been working on some music that doesn’t quite fall under ambient/experimental. More along the lines of house/lounge. I’ve decided to release this instead of under musical nature, under Torchwood Archive, still falling under my label Primary Field Recording Device.

With that, I give you to the (Cambridge) 剑桥 EP, released on December 7, 2017.

Listen, buy and stream at the following media outlets:

Also available on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Rhapsody, eMusic, Rdio, Shazam, and many more digital media services!
