Lovers of weird, atmospheric horror movies will love the latest release A Small Quagmire from my experimental ambient band Thrill Behind Barks, available on Human Geography Recordings.
Laced with a dense texture of dark blooms and bizarre twings and twangs, A Small Quagmire twitches its way through a delightfully random series of sonic spaces that will leave the listener feeling uneven, haunted, and in pretty bad need of a hug.

Now you can play the whole EP in one mixed format video. Happy Halloween 2022! 🎃
Who wants a bucket of VHS cult horror blood?

I’m delighted to announce the release of The Vanishing House, a two-hour collection of dark ambient and experimental offerings.
This release marks a long-overdue revival of a beloved annual ritual: the Halloween mixtape. I’ve been too busy with original music projects these last few years to produce a mixtape as well, but this year I made sure to find the time.
