Ladder Of Light
fs65
Previously unreleased archival recording from 2012.
Recorded directly after All At Once The Remote Go Forth My Soul And My Seeking, The Unknowable Becomes Known in 2012, which was released by Ian Holloway's Quiet World label from Wales, I was approached by another independent label on the strengths of that release. This session was done during the same week and I thought it would be appropriate for this request. After initial discussions about distribution, delivery of final master and considering it a done deal, all contact with them went unanswered and became futile. Later I found out the company quietly went out of business and closed down. Until this day I do not have the master 1/2" tape I sent, but thankfully I still had the original 8 track reel to reel tapes.
The session was done with one improvisational pass of electric guitar, a chambered body Klein that was made for me by Lorenzo German, alternately tuned, into a four amplifier setup with about 8 fuzz boxes and several other devices. Additional noises were done on a prepared guitar set up, ie: Fred Frith, Keith Rowe. The field recordings were all taped from a portable DAT recorder that was my trusty companion for many years, further manipulated and contorted in a laptop.
I eventually lost track of this session until recently I came upon it and once again listened back to it and thought it was suitable for release at this time and did a proper remastering of the music.
Here is the original finished work, albeit redone from slightly deteriorated analog tapes at this point. But knowing things like this are fashionable now, maybe some will find this fashionable as well. Looking back, this sounds a bit like a revisiting of my Silent Breath Of Emptiness from 2008, but in a distinctly more experimental, industrial, Musique concrète vein and it foreshadows some of my present Guitar Improvisation releases, but to be honest, I have been playing like this for decades for those who have not been a part of my journey. I think I had Organum in mind when recording this as I often do. The cover photo was taken from one of my many Colorado wilderness hiking sojourns.
We climb from out of the abyss on a ladder of light.
With peace,

Ancient Exiles, Tell Me About Your Seas
fs62
A new full length album produced during March 2022.
This is the logical successor and fourth chapter in the deeply personal musical path first started with Crossing Of Shadows, followed by Instant Light and then continued on The Mysteries.
1. Farewell here, no matter where. - 07:44
2. the breaking wave - 14:36
3. It’s found we see. – What? – Eternity. It’s the sun, mingled with the sea. - 05:26
4. As for the world, when you emerge, what will have become of it? Nothing, in any case, of its present seeming. - 04:36
5. Arrival from forever, you who’ll depart everywhere. - 10:32
6. …it shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea. - 05:20
This will be a 24 bit digital release and planned for June 1, 2022.

The orchestramaxfieldparrish project after many years, has now moved onward, as of the release of The Clouds Of Michelangelo on textura in 2019:
https://textura.bandcamp.com/album/swallowed-by-the-sky
and has been divided into three distinct musical projects being released since the past 3 years and will continue to do so as:
orchestramaxfieldparrish
Guitar Improvisations
ÆRA
These three new releases fall under the small orchestra scenario utilizing performances of guitar, other stringed instruments, keys, percussion and vocals of orchestramaxfieldparrish, with strictly guitar generated live compositions being released under Guitar Improvisations and mostly synthesizer generated live compositions being released under ÆRA.
All three divisions are 100% improvisational in nature.
- peace.
