...from Extractivism , track released April 28, 2026. An excerpt from This Window, recorded at Morgue Studios in 2026.

“Gone Like the Whispers of Silent Clouds”

Musically, it occupies the borderlands where darkwave, minimal synth, post‑industrial and experimental gothic overlap. The foundation is a slow, deliberate pulse: brooding synth beds, cold atmospheres, and vocals that lean toward spoken word rather than song. The arrangement stays sparse and intentional — minimal electronics, icy textures, and non‑pop structures that echo the ethos of the 1980s cassette‑culture underground.

Listen on Bandcamp

“Gone Like the Whispers of Silent Clouds” unfolds like a drifting, half‑remembered dream — a fragment that feels discovered rather than composed, as if recovered from a damaged tape. The video blends AI‑generated imagery with Super 8 home‑movie fragments, forming a collage that hovers between memory and hallucination. Grainy domestic 8mm footage dissolves into shifting digital phantoms; faces blur, scenes melt, colours drift with the unstable logic of dreams. The result is a visual language that feels both intimate and uncanny, as though the past is being reinterpreted by a machine that only half understands.

The Super 8 material brings warmth, fragility and the unmistakable texture of analogue decay — flicker, dust, scratches, nostalgia, memories and the soft bloom of overexposed light. In contrast, the AI‑generated sequences introduce a colder, drifting realism, a kind of hypersensitive artificial vision. These two worlds — analogue memory and digital imagination — bleed into one another until their boundaries collapse.

The piece becomes a meditation on how we remember, how we misremember, and how technology now dreams alongside us.

Don't Think I Can Make It

Image
A fractured transmission across sound and image Don't Think I Can Make It by This Window is a sonic and visual meditation on disconnection, delay, and the quiet collapse of communication. This track appears on The Sampler #05 (CD). The track pulses with electronic textures that drift in and out of clarity—like signal interference on a long-distance call—while a thumping drum line anchors the listener in a bodily rhythm, a heartbeat beneath the static. Free Download The vocal narrative is not sung but spoken, dissected fragments from a voicemail. Phrases such as "Hope all is well" , "We'll try to connect later" , "I don't think I can make it" , and finally, "Ciao" —are delivered with clinical detachment, yet they carry the emotional weight of absence. These lines also appear in the track Ciao Again by This Window, suggesting a thematic echo or recursive loop in the artist’s work which was released on The Sampler #05 (CD). The accomp...

Crash '87

Crash '87 - Discogs Release Information Track: Crash ’87 Artist: This Window   Release: Appears on the cassette Extraction (1989, EE Tapes, Belgium) 1 Format: C40 Chrome Cassette, experimental/industrial/abstract Compilation Context: The track is part of a body of work that merges sound collage, dark ambient textures, and conceptual art. The cassette itself is a curated sequence where tracks bleed into one another, resisting discrete consumption and instead demanding immersion. Crash ’87 is not a standalone single but embedded in a larger experimental release that foregrounds fragmentation, layering, and the instability of recorded media. The accompanying video, shows a mouse in the palm of hands and links to The Genetics of Art and the National Mouse Club 2 . The mouse becomes both a literal and symbolic subject: a fragile, living creature held in human hands, and simultaneously a metaphor for control, breeding, and manipulation. In the context of Crash ’87 , the mouse ima...

Dance This Way

Image
The death of romance "Dance this Way" is a short, searing piece of emotional reportage. In just a handful of lines, it captures the humiliation of being treated as an accessory rather than a partner. The narrator’s repeated “I hate you, I really hate you” is not melodrama but the blunt edge of betrayal — the kind that happens not in grand betrayals, but in the small, public moments where someone you love makes you feel invisible. The scene is painfully familiar: a couple arrives together at a favourite bar to see a favourite band — a shared ritual. But instead of sharing the night, the man abandons his partner to socialise with his friends. When he does return, it’s not to reconnect, but to issue a command: “dance this way.” The woman is reduced to a performer, summoned at will, her emotional state irrelevant. When she cries, he laughs. The dream — of romance, of mutual respect — collapses in that instant. Objectification The man’s behaviour treats th...
