​Abacomancy is a collaboration between Derek Monypeny and Kevin Corcoran. Abacomancy is defined as "a form of divination based on the interpretation of the patterns in dust, dirt, silt, or sand."

The record comes with a book of photographs by Kevin Corcoran that collides with the sound produced on the record and capturing a twenty first century abacomancy.

May 2025

​

Ritual of Light is the first full length from Descending Pharaohs. Recorded in mid-2022, it marks the band in its first year as a trio with a sound that is mainly implemented by the conventions of guitar, bass, and drums and enhanced by rich textures created by Turkish saz-baglama, greek tzoura, and oud as well as drone-driven electronics. The LP is available with the Telesterion 7 inch and a limited edition print by Theo Khoury.

Cecyl Ruehlen to release "Oozetones / Fleshscapes"

June 2025

 

​On June 26, Cecyl Ruehlen will release Oozetones / Fleshscapes. While this album was written and completed in early 2022 the work reflects about a decade's worth of developing a unique approach to improvising, super-imposition, and sound engineering as a method of constantly shifting and expanding composition. The LP arrives in a gatefold sleeve with a large format book that delves into the basis for the album's title. Pre-orders to start shortly.
