while we slept the murmuring of god enfolded us

Mark Derby I like drones. I like repetition. And—in many instances—I like change at a pace at which most folks would perceive only stasis.

Now? I have 10 hours of a smoothly-oscillating deep-bass note.

And yes: I did read the self-description which indicates, “No, it’s not really ‘music.’”

    Poster/Print

    one hand inked page from 'a valediction forbidding mourning,' my creative diary.

    each page is unique

    the orders may not come straight away as pages are inked and removed from the book as new entries are made.

    yes, this is a published book being transformed. don't worry, it's an awful hateful, transphobic book.

    these would look great framed or, you know, shred then into bits and use as bookmarks.

about

this is a piece i've been wishing to complete since i made 'memento mori (elgin cathedral, 28​/​07​/​17)' three years ago.

then i used the eight hour schema and limited each track to 30 minutes, this time I wanted to use the nine hour schema and one hour long tracks.

this album represents the nine canonical hours of the liturgy and defines, in a way that is slightly more literal than it needs to be, the day of someone who lived in a religious community in the middle ages.

this is also a journey from darkness to light and a symbol of gestation and birth
