Pont Tombé

[Pyxis] have a 3rd and final release in 2025!

Pont Tombé is another 9-track song collection.

This one is a little quieter than normal for [Pyxis]…

It is focused mainly on a raw piano sound and the songs stem from improvised playing and building the songs up around the initial recording.

Pont Tombé is available to stream or download (for only £2!) over at the BandCamp.

If you’re new to this project and like what you hear, there is currently a 30% discount option when downloading the entire discography of 4 albums that’ll cost you a reasonable £5.60.

We’re still not on streaming yet, so BandCamp is THE only place to go hear it…working on that though.

Surprise!

[Pyxis] has released a 2nd album in 2025!

This 10 track album is heavily inspired by PS1-era survival horror video game soundtracks and makes use of similar audio production techniques. It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you will enjoy listening to it too.

The album is free to stream on bandcamp or £2 to download and cherish forever!

If you’re new to the [Pyxis] project, there is currently discount on the bandcamp site to download the whole discography at 30% off in a single click.

Pinnacle Figments

01/05/2025 //

The Silent Committee is back!

‘Pinnacle Figments’ marks [4-D] recordings 1st release of 2025 and the first new full length album of music from TSC in almost 2 years. The album is available from 01/05/2025.

The album is currently only available on Bandcamp, free to stream or £4 to download and keep.

Returning to his musical beginnings, Chris Fordham has produced an album of thought provoking, minimalist, instrumental music under the moniker ‘The Silent Committee’. Recent releases had involved attentions to detail and experimentation with odd timings and orchestral arrangements, these songs however, all began more freely as pure improvisations and grew from there with the majority of elements being recorded live on the fly.

The album explores the theme of aiming to constantly climb and the setbacks that includes on the way.

1.Sea Level Dream 07:32
2.Foothold 05:28
3.A Peaceful Plateau 02:34
4.The Cascade 03:00
5.Overlooking the Precipice 10:52
6.Shelf Pause 06:02
7.Spur 01:43
8.Throwing Paper Planes from the Summit 04:24

Cloud Helices II

Surprise!

[4-D] Recordings is proud to present…

ANOTHER new EP of very experimental droning ambiance for your ears to feast upon.

AND

It is yours for free.

The project is entitled: Cloud Helices/Briefly Falling/Ne’er Onwards

this is the second EP of the project by Krzysztof Mahdrof featuring sprawling soundscapes, ambiance and noise in equal measure. All set to the slowest BPM possible.

You will need headphones and a quiet space for the best experience.

Tracklisting:

1.the world’s a minefield
2.through the storm, through the night
3.stelele-n cer
4.of night and light and the half-light

***as a bonus feature of this EP, it has been arranged in such a way that if you can play all 4 tracks at the same time on four different speakers, you will create an impressive yet cohesive noise.

For those who download the EP (which is FREE, did I mention?) you’ll also get a bonus 5th track that can’t be streamed – that file is the four tracks all played together and backwards! (it works, honestly)

Much love

Imperfect Machines.

15/09/2023 //

The Silent Committee EP, ‘Imperfect Machines’, makes it’s debut on streaming sites from today!

If you like it enough it is still available to download from Bandcamp for a very affordable price.

If you’re the streaming kind then Spotify, Apple, Tidal, YouTube etc. will see you right.

Also as with the other releases lately, you can dance to them on TikTok or soundtrack bizarre reels on Instagram.

Imperfect Machines was the last lengthy and fully conceived/planned release from the project back in 2019. It sought to be the acoustic album, utilising no synthesis or electronic instruments – heavily relying on upright piano, viola, voice and various string instruments. The acoustic were ultimately toyed with by effects pedals and laptop maniupation, but the acoustic sounds do still shine through.

Since the release of this EP the project has lay kind of dormant, releasing tunes for piano day and odd songs here and there.

But all that will change in October. Stay tuned!
