There will be a LOT of releases across the 3 pages coming during the year, so I hope to be able to play a part in the soundtracking of an awesome, fun, interesting, fast, chilled, weird, unique, colourful, safe, comfortable and enriched 2025 for you.
Many thanks to all out there who read this, continue to listen to what comes out from these pages.

Oh, also, (those into dungeon synth, dark and light ambient, soundscapes etc) please follow the Mountain Forest Cabin Dweller page if you didn't already. I revise the previous statement to say 'There will be a LOT of releases across the FOUR pages coming during the year!' :-)

The first compilation, 'The First Gathering' will be released on January 5th, and there are 11 releases in the calendar already.

Running order for 42 Seconds #7. Let me know which bands and projects you enjoyed that you didn't know of before... I definitely was introduced to plenty through putting this together.

“O Deep Thought computer, we want you to tell us... The Answer."
"The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?"
"Life!" urged F**k.
"The Universe!" said Lunkwill.
"Everything!" they said in chorus.

Deep Thought paused for a moment's reflection.
"Tricky," he said finally.
"But can you do it?"
Again, a significant pause.
"Yes," said Deep Thought, "I can do it."
"There is an answer?" said F**k with breathless excitement.
"Yes," said Deep Thought. "Life, the Universe, and Everything. There is an answer. But, I'll have to think about it."

F**k glanced impatiently at his watch.

“How long?” he said.

“Seven and a half million years,” said Deep Thought.
Lunkwill and F**k blinked at each other.
“Seven and a half million years...!” they cried in chorus.

“Yes,” declaimed Deep Thought, “I said I’d have to think about it, didn’t I?"

A trio of my new releases - The Owl (140th) - Morbid Beauty (82nd) - CIRM (3rd)

I have a new side projekt called CIRM. This is the 3rd release, and big thank you to The Church of Noisy Goat for releasing it! This is a quickie. 9 tracks in 6 minutes. For those with short attention spans and the noisy, glitchy, abstract minds.
https://thechurchofnoisygoat.bandcamp.com/album/to-watt-do-io
Please join in this new world here: https://cirm.bandcamp.com

Newest Morbid Beauty release is a split with Cretin Dilettante, and another big thank you to Splitting Sounds Records for sharing it. Two very different takes on noise, harsh noise, wall, industrial and experimental electronics, but really happy with how they combined.
https://splittingsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/incinerate-audiometry-ssr-rr-0251

Just now I released 'QUASAR' as The Owl. For those who like their heavy and atmospherically swirly bass-led sounds, but also it has lots of synth, noise, drama and tried-and-tested interstellar psychedelic space flight capabilities. Genuinely speaking, one of the favourite recordings I've made on my own. I hope you will listen and enjoy.

30 more pieces added to the already crazy jigsaw puzzle. Will it reach 200?
(or 168/210 at least for multiples of 42!)

So, here are submissions 126-155. I made an error in counting and folder arranging, affecting the previous post, doubling up on one that didn't need to be.

You have until the last inhabited place in the world gets to midnight on December 8th to get your entries in. Honolulu is the last to get to midnight, according to timeanddate.com/worldclock/?sort=2

By that time it will be the morning of the 9th for me, and I will begin piecing this wild collection together.

42 Seconds #7
Deadline end of 8.12.24

Yhorm Saishō

After the compilation, I decided to start with The Owl, as this is one that I was thinking of releasing as a side project, which is what the Mountain Forest Cabin Dweller page was originally going to be. It soon escalated into compilations and label for others.

Envelope Muse remix compilation 'Mis-Conception-S (ReWorked 2008-2023)' released August 14, 2024 (ON076).
11 remixes of EEnvelope Musecovering dark and light ambient, industrial, noise, experimental, psychedelic, drone soundscapes and rhythmical electronic music.

I've already raved about Envelope Muse plentifully in the past, having the pleasure of releasing 'It Will All Be Over Soon' back in May 2022, so it is an honour to be involved in this excellent remix album project, alongside a host of artists I admire and enjoy.

Every track tips its hat of respect to the original, but brings something new to the journey. I hope you will take some time to immerse fully.

1. The Owl - Ascend In Thirds And Sixteenths 05:29
2. Dunkelselbst - Ratcheted / Until The Lights Go Out 04:42
3. Ultra - Ascension In Thirds Part I 04:59
4. Nightswimmer - Derivitive Of One 05:34
5. Morbid Beauty - Monochromatic Bloodstains 04:20
6. Sanctuary State - Orenda 04:09
7. Boneve - Welcome To The Still 02:31
8. Mike Benoit - Cribs & Moping Beasts 02:40
9. Swamp Rabbit - Orphic 04:48
10. Dollgarm - Wake 05:33

ON075 - Partholón - The Ocean Pours In (released July 5, 2024)
So, here we go! First catch up post of the Owlripper releases over the last 6 months.

If you arrive on this page as a fan of Neurosis, Cult Of Luna, Omega Massif, Year Of No Light, Mastodon, Dvne, Hundred Year Old Man, Yob and any of that world of sludge-doom-post-metal-atmospheric style, then you will be adding the unique Partholón high on your list of favourites by the end of 'The Ocean Pours In', I can guarantee.

Every Partholón song is a journey in itself, and it's a huge thrill to present 5 more of those wonderful, twisting journeys to you now, coalescing as a whole for an overwhelmingly cathartic release.

Thanks to Partholón for trusting me with this release, to help push it underneath the wonderful labels all involved in bringing it out into the physical realm!
- Vinyl release with Moment of Collapse (DE) & Ripcord Records (UK)
- Tapes and CDs through Fiadh Productions (USA)

- Personal story -
When I saw the announcement at the end of last year that there was a new Partholón album incoming, I got incredibly excited and impatient to hear it. When I messaged just a few moments later if they would like to release it also on Owlripper - and it was an unhesitant 'yes' - I actually jumped up and got immensely giddy!
I shared the stage with Partholón 5 times whilst in one of my past bands (Hundred Year Old Man; a weekender tour in England in 2018, then Siege Of Limerick 2018 and Dublin 2019), so I can vouch for their all round awesomeness as human beings and talented musicians.
