About Me

John Lithium: Dark ambient
Terra Engine: Experimental electronic
Nihil Obstat: Noise
The Nihilist Fish-Engine Phenomenon: Experimental industrial post-rock
I am also the head and co-founder of Argali Records Netlabel. We are a small but serious venture, chiefly interested in experimental forms of electronic music. Please bare with us as we slowly gain our identity. We promise it will be worth the wait.
Currently do not have a huge amount of time to develop future projects, but am continuing to slowly develop Argali Records, in addition to gradually developing a few projects I have in the pipeline.
I do not mind SMALL comments, but huge comments are deleted.
You can listen to the albums I have released so far and remix/compilation appearances I have been involved in using the Archive.org players below. As far as I know, this collection is up to date. The only compilations that are not there is "Okkulth Magick I" compilation (the Archive.org player would not load the tracks correctly) and the "Summer Solstice" compilation (which is not an Archive.org release).
Special thanks to Amduscias, Timetheory, Crumbling Wall Records, Mr. Anticque, Treetrunk, Clinical Archives, Sounds Abound, Love Torture Netlabel, Twilight Luggage, Okkulth, and Not The Normal Shit radio for releasing my albums and/or featuring my work in compilations/remixes.
"This is the sound of that which cannot be comprehended, what is beyond our ability to understand. When reason, logic, emotion, and truth have reached their limits. This is the sound of tragedy, triumph, loss, victory, love, rage, melancholy, sorrow, and fear. It is meant to provoke an emotional response through non-specific/themed aural stimulus. Then, you may feel, that there are no happy endings, because nothing ends".
"Only form changes".
