New music and video created in the first week of 2015. All imagery is from ice from frozen lakes along with crushed tree branches. The music was created from the sound of cracking ice on the same frozen lakes along with mutated guitar sound. Enjoy at FULL screen and FULL volume over HERE.
Happy New Year! 2015 will see a new solo recording that I am working on now. Also a new BEAST recording involving other band members. Also more video work and I am hoping to get more opportunities for video/sound installations. If you have any interest in having my video/sound work for your art gallery or festival then please contact me. Also I will be performing more often in solo form (with video) and also more live BEAST shows. There will be a Japan tour in March where I will be touring with Mamiffer. More details to come. Meanwhile do check out my bandcamp sites where all sales goes directly to feeding my tiny doggie Arrow. Thank you kindly!

I created a new music video for the great Mamiffer and you can watch it over HERE.
STATIC BURN is officially 20 years old......My sophomore album originally released in Oct, 1994 by the great Soleilmoon Recordings on CD. Overwhelming gratitude for Charles Powne and Peter Drake for having the sheer unconditioned "will" to be kind enough to support me in making this massive recording that was indeed massively laborious. I am temporarily offering STATIC BURN as a free download from my Bandcamp shop. Find it HERE.
Three new BEAST albums are now available! "Snarler" is the newest trilogy in the massive drum/noise project by Daniel Menche. Strictly a digital entity and only available on Bandcamp and soon Itunes. Run over HERE for the "Snarler" trilogy and the previous "Red Marrow" trilogy.

The excellent label: SIGE RECORDS has released a split LP with William Fowler Collins and myself. Limited to 250 copies. There's also a cassette version as well for sale. This split is inspired by the “Speech of the Dead Christ” section in Jean Paul’s three-volume German Romantic novel Siebenkäs. Run over to the SIGE RECORDS store over HERE and order you copy now! For digital version, run over to HERE.
The great Arcn Templ from Shanghai recently came to Portland, Oregon and performed a killer concert in which I recorded. I also took that recording and made a massive remix. NOW available at the Utech Records site! Run over HERE and grab it......and of course CRANK IT!

The Great MAMIFFER has added a collaboration of sorts to their Bandcamp shop and it is available for streaming and download over HERE. Live recording of two different MAMIFFER concerts that I took and greatly mangled and manipulated into two long drone/noise tracks. Originally released as a cassette (limited to 100).

"BEAST" is the name of my new music project/group dedicated to percussion/noise style of work. Since 2005 I recorded several drum based albums ("Concussions", "Beast Resonator", "Animality" and others) and now I will continue these explorations into a moniker that will be much more expansive in my percussion work. Three new full length albums are now available for streaming and download at the new official "BEAST" Bandcamp shop. More albums will be added as time goes on and possible inclusion of others members participating. Live performances of "BEAST" is certainly a possibility and maybe it will be just myself or guests. And of course I will be focusing on new solo material for 2014 and beyond. Please run over to the "BEAST" Bandcamp shop over HERE. Please share with friends and enjoy these recordings. Thank you kindly!
Just added to my Bandcamp shop...... "Leprous Drones" is a 6 hour plus collection of unreleased drone work from 2007 -2013.

The third track is a collaboratively layered and nightmarish bell tome that drones and evolves through a menacing 61 minute duration. Each copy is housed in a de-bossed art stock 7” sleeve with a unique photo insert from the same session and location the sound samples were taken. No two copies of this release are alike! Photography courtesy of Veleda Thorsson and Daniel Menche. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. Get your copy at http://www.agalloch.org/shop.htm
