Avez-vous déjà été indisposé le soir dans votre lit par un babillage mental qui vous empêche de dormir ? Les nuits sont longues lorsque nous laissons tout l’espace à cette voix mal avisée qui parle dans notre esprit. Elle tourne en boucle une situation, une relation qui va mal, un sentiment d’échec, une impression d’être dans l’erreur.   Le babillage mental apparaît souvent lorsqu’on est…

ZDJ, in conjunction with Furious Hooves, released a very special album on December 6, 2020. Please read this short piece of background written by ZDJ below:

“‘Sigil Meditation’ is an interactive ritual tool. Since the 2019 release of ‘Heliopause’, I’ve considered writing music inspired by the length and simplicity of Terry Riley’s ‘In C’, the unique healing time warp that is Basinski’s ‘Disintegration Loops’, as well as my appreciation of doom and stoner metal albums from bands like Bell Witch and Sleep. Those inspirations found my desire to release a magickal pamphlet that would share an original and astrologically sound ritual for manifesting intentions that uses my own sobriety as its example. Released on December 6th, my sober-anniversary, ‘Sigil Meditation’ is, in scope and content, a majestic and impressive composition that, when paired with my ritual, will prove itself life changing.”

A limited edition cassette & pamphlet has been carefully created by hand for this very occasion ~ a gorgeous seventy-three minute composition on guitar, Korg synth, midi, and tape loops. Upon ordering — with your consent and a heartfelt promise that ZDJ will deliver good — YOU may provide your birthdate, birth time, and birth location (or the date, time, and location of a significant event to you) and ZDJ will handmake a sigil on your cassette’s artwork. These cassettes are made by hand and limited to 20 units.

There is also a digital version available that comes with a PDF of the pamphlet.

FH-069 // Halloween Split Series No.10 featuring Consulter & Bodyplex.

Halloween 2020 somehow managed to see through the 10th (TENTH!) release in our annual Furhoof Halloween Split Series.

‘Robot & Witch Shadow ©’ starts with Consulter, the duo of ZDJ + Bal Duktė, blanketing you with blown out bliss and introspective progression — a swelling country noise. Then Bodyplex follows with their signature anxiety inducing blend of alternate to pop. All of this begging the question: who is witch and who is robot?
