I'm happy to announce a new album by BJ Nilsen, "True than Nature", to be released on Ideologic Organ the 29 August. You can preview one track now, and preorder. BJ has worked with legendary labels like Touch, Editions Mego and Cold Meat Industries since the early 90s, and we've known each other and been friends for twenty years. His approach to creating music from his extensive work in field recording points directly towards his research in active listening, and that attention always brings a fascination to the ears. "True than Nature" is a suite of great sounds, fascinating music! Happy to work together with Benny and get this out to the world. Have a listen. –Stephen O'Malley, Stockholm July 2025

::::

True than Nature encourages active listening. There is sound that exists seemingly for its own sake – a continuing drone that slowly evolves, sound of nature – and there are sounds that refer to a momentary action, and sudden intrusions of sound. BJ Nilsen triggers shifts in the perception for the listener that alter how you perceive and experience the world through sound, and how you think about sound.

Listening to True than Nature is full of moments of instability. The shifts between sound spaces refocus your listening, or throw you out of a world you were imagining. You recognize sounds, wind, rain, metal bending, a hammer on stone, the background noise of a city, but often there is an unfamiliarity about these sounds. You think you recognize them, but often you are not sure, because you are not there, and different worlds clash or coexist at the same time.

True than Nature makes you wonder about how sounds exist, how they are brought forward, how they are made by objects, how they are perceived and how they are changed by the attention given to it. And all the time, you might ask yourself: What is that world that I am listening to? How does it exist?

SLOMO “The Creep” (20th anniversary edition) LP/digital announced on Ideologic Organ ! Hear an excerpt today and preorder the 61-minute LP (edition of 500 copies)…

https://soundsofslomo.bandcamp.com/album/the-creep-20th-anniversary-edition?label=215379737

“The 20th Anniversary Edition of “The Creep” by Slomo, this ambient doom masterwork, is now available on vinyl for the first time via Ideologic Organ. This is a storied album of verbal history, and emerged from a figurative long barrow deep within a virtual space of great depth and contemplation, an inverted framing of acoustic space with heavy floors ranging from the wake of COIL to the heaviest Japanese fire of psychedelia to the monuments of drone coagulating in the early ‘aughts. A first tiny CDR edition (100 copies) of “The Creep” in 2005 garnered the focus of heavyweights like SUNN O))), Julian Cope, GNOD, the esoteric legendary record store Aquarius, and the Wire. Ideologic Organ is honoured to have been tasked with bringing this to a limited LP for the very first time, and has collaborated with mastering genius Rashad Becker to create a 61-minute single LP in perfect cut. The album will also be distributed widely on all digital channels.”

Hampus Lindwall’s “Brace for Impact” album on LP/CD/digital is out today. CHECK IT OUT!

Hampus has been the Église du Saint-Esprit, Paris titular organist since 2005, but thats just the tip of the iceberg with this guy. The album are all new compositions by Hampus and it’s titled “Brace For Impact”. Hampus has worked with Phill Niblock, Ellen Arkbro, and many others. He and I have had a great run with the Les Inspirations Visibles series of concerts at the Saint-Esprit, now running to eleven episodes, and I’m also proud to have been a featured player on the title track of this album. Another piece of Hampus trivia: he was the organist at Pierre Henry’s funeral service, where he performed Messiaen as the wishes of Henry’s testament.

Boomkat said this about the title track of the album “‘Brace For Impact’, which was recorded in Düsseldorf on the huge pipe organ at St. Antonius church, opens with a grinding metal-inspired experiment that directly references Iannis Xenakis’s Metastaseis. Unlike many contemporary organ enthusiasts, Lindwall has spent so much time perfecting his approach to the instrument that he’s willing to move past its expected characteristics. Using his expertise to bend the tones on-the-fly and recreate the glissando from Xenakis’s original piece, Lindwall prompts O’Malley to follow his lead with chugging guitar distortions that subvert the purity of the sound and the logic of Xenakis’s vision. It’s revelatory, basically.

Lucy Railton’s “Blue Veil” LP/CD/digital (SOMA063) is released today on Ideologic! A solo cello piece composed and performed by Lucy, a powerful and intricate piece of new minimalism performed with grace and precision. This record is rewarding listen in so many ways, such a deeply complex and rich piece of music.

I feel like this work strikes a lot of points along the history of the path. Very proud of the opportunity to not only release this but to also be able to be part of the production and recording.

Personal reflection : In September 2021 Lucy, Kali Malone and I had the chance to perform two nights at Imir in Stavanger Norway, the three of us performing Kali’s piece “Does Spring Hide Its Joy”, and Lucy performed solo, and Kali and I duo on the second night. We were stunned by her beautiful performance, and immediately encouraged an idea of a record.

When we say “fast-forward” we obviously omit a path of history, hence the magic of montage. But early in 2024 we three were in Église du Saint-Esprit recording Lucy solo, the root of her piece had become defined and precise, hewn. Lucy performed in the choir organ loft, Kali was recording up there. I remember listening to Lucy play through the headphones to my omni mics on the other side of the church, in the pews. Probably 100 meters away.

In the night … it was bliss.

Lucy worked with to mix and to master and cut. She returned to the church to performs the piece in its entirety , last week, albeit from the altar.

What we have here is a treasure of listening. Please take some time to experience this. Thank you for your support. And thank you to for your trust and dedication to this project.

*shout out to for the visual support via their perfect product shots on this one … take a look on their feed. IO product shots via my phone on apartment floor in front of the hifi altar.

RELEASED TODAY : Golem Mecanique “Siamo tutti in pericolo“ LP/digital (SOMA058)

Today, Golem Mecanique releases Siamo tutti in pericolo, her album named for the director Pier Paolo Pasolini’s last words before his murder. The album is out today via Ideologic Organ.

Golem Mecanique describes the feeling she has when watching a Pasolini film as “silent violence” - a cold and radical response which calls into question her beliefs about the behaviour of people, and lies and truth. She hopes to evoke this feeling with her music - a melding of beauty and dread.

“Golem Mecanique touch[es] upon the ashes and fibres of back metal and the DNA of gothic music, literature, sorcery, and most of all—poetry. “ - Stephen O’Malley

Today, she also shares the video for “Teorema”, which you can watch on Bandcamp.

“I tried to be the eyes that saw in the dark, the voice that told what his last day and night were, the ghost that summons the memory... I just wanted his body not to lay alone on that cold beach.” - Golem Mecanique

PRAISE FOR SIAMO TUTTI IN PERICOLO:

“Jebane’s densely textured sound - which here comprises a mechanised hurdy-gurdy she calls a “drone box”, a zither and Jebane’s own mournful vocals - most definitely casts its own kind of spell…these six incantation-like pieces boast a solemn majesty akin to the most harrowing passages of Nico’s Desertshore.” - 8/10, UNCUT

“Jebane’s dolorous keening over the undulating drone of her custom built hurdy-gurdy has often sounded mournful. This is the first time, to my ears, that it has sounded fearful.” - THE WIRE

Congratulations Karen!
