Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Aokigahara.

New album available from Cryo Chamber. Releases November 3, 2015. 

cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album…

Aokigahara (青木ヶ原), known as the Suicide Forest is a 35-square-kilometre forest that lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Aokigahara forest is dense, shutting out all but the natural sounds of the forest itself. The forest has an historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, and it is a notoriously common suicide site.

Flowers for Bodysnatchers explores the long journey to Aokigahara through soundscapes ripe with lonely pianos on textural backdrops. Countless hours have been spent field recording on the voyage between Tokyo to Aokigahara which creates the perfect atmospheric companion to the intricate instrumental approach. This is a beautiful dark ambient soundtrack culminating in the final choice between life and death.

Written, Produced, Mastered by Duncan Ritchie 

Artwork by Simon Heath.

I've just finished wrapping up the OST for the Shiro Takehiko film 'The Last Drive In' using my musical alias THE ROSENSHOUL. Track listing (unabridged) is as follows,

(Act 1) Spatial Infraction 18:40
(Act 2) Milton, Tonight We Murder 16:16
(Act 3) The Last Drive In 19:10
(Act 4) Pink Flamingos/End Titles 6:24

A great film and a great concept working the film around and into the score, as opposed to scoring the film after. And being able to present the soundtrack unabridged is a bonus! The album will be up on Bandcamp in a couple of weeks followed by iTunes etc etc.

After a four year break I've resurrected a musical project know as THE ROSENSHOUL with a new album titled Hidden Field. The last Rosenshoul album Low Winter Sun was released 2010 and was only available on CD and Vinyl. So if you're a music buff and like it a bit different you can head to YouTube www.youtube.com/channel/UCuNey… for a listen or to BandCamp to buy a copy therosenshoul.bandcamp.com

The album has also received some great reviews!

"An abrasive industrial sound smothering a beautiful dark ambient melody from beginning to end. A most expansive and challenging journey throughout for any listener". 

Alice Walker - Force de Jour Magazine

My musical alias FLOWERS FOR BODYSNATCHERS now has tracks exclusive to YouTube! I've been looking for a home for these darker orchestral pieces I do for film scores that never see the light of day. And now you can point your browser here www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcArp4… and just relax.
