about

Music From the Church of Heterodoxal Circuits

Back in the early 2010's I had an evolving series of sound experiments that were each created within a few hours, uploaded to somewhere and considered done with the final recording being just from that time. Nothing was saved or revisited. These were originally referred to as 'Morning Sound Reports' as I generally would wake up at 2-4 am and create something before going about the rest of my day. (wdavidoliphant.bandcamp.com/album/oggend-klink-vier)

This release here is similar as each track is a one-off improvisation. These will be similar in sound to a 'structured' album that has been in development for 6 months or so now (some of which began life here: thebastardkingsofsamadhi.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-scrying

I will be adding new tracks frequently until I move on to the next phase... (This project is now complete with the final uploads and recordings as of Nov 2, 2021)

Qualified Rarities 1
by survey channel

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Ancestor”

A marvellously textured album, rich in contrast, filled with fluttering ideas, gently turning ostinati, warm colours and a richly varied tapestry of electronic sounds. Hard to choose a favourite track, but '1AD' just pips the opening by an electro-whisper. Modern Music Dan
