Dead Heart

Image
Breaking down the elements of a track has always been at the heart of the process. By splicing together both related and unrelated sounds, the goal is to create a soundscape that gradually evolves into something tangible: a piece of music with its own identity and atmosphere. A fragment of a message becomes a source of fascination, sparking the desire to decode, understand, and uncover meaning. It carries the belief that, if you listen closely enough, the truth might eventually reveal itself. Sounds stretch and collide against time, forming rhythms that blur the line between structure and abstraction. As the imagery becomes more fragmented and elusive, the experience takes on an increasingly otherworldly quality. A broken signal exists in a space between revelation and obscurity; it suggests that meaning is there, waiting to be found, while simultaneously reminding us that it may remain forever out of reach.

Their Gods - Limited Free Mix

Image
Their Gods This track, available as a (pre‑release) free limited edition mix , is an early preview of a forthcoming album planned for late autumn or early winter—a collection of new tracks shaped around memory, place, and the small moments that stay with you long after they’ve passed. It’s the kind of record that feels less like a statement and more like a return: to streets you used to know, to rooms where a certain light still lingers, to the quiet turns of life that don’t announce themselves as important in the moment, yet keep echoing anyway. Forthcoming Album: Introducing This Window At its core, the collection gathers ideas and half‑finished projects that were never resolved, set down, and in some cases nearly forgotten across the decades. These are fragments without spectacle—never dramatic or life‑altering, but quietly significant. The songs move through photographs that held more than what was captured, walks that changed nothing on paper but shifted ...

Back in the Studio

2027 is shaping up to be a landmark year for This Window . If everything continues on schedule, TW will unveil a major new release across all streaming platforms — the most ambitious digital launch to date.

The Blue Lilo - 8mm Film

Image
HomeMovies – a starting point for an improvisation.  The video below comes from an 8mm home movie shot on the Isle of Wight in the early 1970s. Super 8mm cameras, introduced by Kodak in 1965, were designed for everyday use: lightweight, cartridge‑loaded, and simple enough for families to document holidays, gatherings, and the small moments that would otherwise disappear. Because the film stock was only 8mm wide, the resulting images were soft, grainy and unstable — a fragile analogue record of memory itself. This imperfect, flickering quality aligns beautifully with This Window ’s long‑standing process of using degraded media as a creative catalyst. The piece accompanying the footage, The Blue Lilo , was recorded live at Morgue Studios (Devon) on 16/10/2025. It is an improvised experimental work built around the Cre8 Audio East Beast and Moog Mavis, both of which trigger and interact with a wider modular synth setup. The performance drifts between structure and acci...

Studio Update - Cre8 audio

Image
Morgue Studio Devon: East Beast Modular Upgrade Another module has been added to the expanding studio rack. This little machine is a dynamite addition to the synth arsenal – it has made an instant difference to the rest of the synth bank and will be a prominent feature of future recordings. Cre8 audio's The East Beast is a compact, East‑coast–style subtractive monophonic synthesizer designed to bridge classic analog character with modern modular flexibility. Whether used as a standalone desktop instrument or integrated into a Eurorack system, it offers a deep, hands‑on workflow that encourages exploration, patching, and generative experimentation. Control and Playability At its core, the East Beast is controllable via MIDI , CV , and its own integrated button keyboard , giving players multiple ways to interact with the instrument. The onboard keyboard doubles as a performance tool and a sequencer inter...

1970s Microphone

 Philips EL1976/00 Dynamic Microphone This Philips EL1976/00 was recently rediscovered in a garden shed, decades after first being supplied with a Philips reel‑to‑reel tape machine. Its original wiring has now been replaced with coaxial cable and a 1/4" jack plug, giving the microphone a new lease of life in the studio. Despite its modest design, this mic has become a reliable choice for recording vocals. Its naturally narrow dynamic range lends itself to rough, raw vocal takes—perfect for capturing ideas quickly or adding a gritty, unpolished character to a track. The Philips EL1976/00 is a compact dynamic table microphone produced around 1970 by Philips in Eindhoven. Designed for use with Philips tape recorders and other domestic audio equipment, it reflects the company’s move toward lightweight, modern plastics rather than earlier bakelite or catalin housings. The microphone has a distinctive small block shape, slightly leaning backwards when placed on a surface. On t...

Solace Dead Heart

Image
Solace Dead Heart is a new visual piece created as an homage to the collage and assemblage work of Robert Rauschenberg . His approach to layering fragments, distressed textures, found materials and half‑erased memories has always resonated with the ethos of This Window . This video follows that lineage: a drifting collage of surfaces, glitches, shadows and emotional residue, 8mm home movie, stitched together in a way that feels fragile. Listen to more The soundtrack is an excerpt from a longer electronic composition that will appear on a new This Window release in 2027 . The full piece moves through cold pulses, analogue drift, and slow‑burn tension, but this short extract captures the heart of it — a sense of suspended time, mechanical breath, and the quiet ache of repetition. Solace Dissected Sonically, the track sits somewhere between synthwave minimalism , goth electronics and darkwave a...
