The Asiluum collective is very proud to present you the official release of a soundtrack  that will accompany the upcoming exhibition of  John U. Abrahamson, entitled “Flesh And Blood“.

This exhibition will take place in Bert Green Fine Art, Los Angeles, between March 10th and April 18th.

“Flesh and Blood” will showcase 30 paintings and will be an installation work comprised also of 15 years of the artist’s journals (30-220pg each) opened on a table for viewers to destroy.  Attached to the table will be a metal structure that supports a life size prone human form hovering 4 feet above the journals comprised of suspended bottles of  John U. Abrahmason’s flesh and blood approx 200 vials in all.

The creators of the soundrack that will complete the exhibition are the people behind Asiluum, Costin Chioreanu – Guitars (Nightpray) and Marius Costache – Ambients, Field Recordings, Production (Discordless).

This soundtrack will also be available free for download starting March 10th 2010 alongside a virtual exhibition on Asiluum.com aswell.

John U. Abrahamson:

“I have been working with an unbelievably creative group from Bucharest, Romania in conjunction with “Flesh and Blood.”  They have put together a soundtrack that creates in sound what I am trying to do with paint.  I will be featuring their work on the night of the opening.  They have been sending samples over the last 6 months or so but the latest sample is breath taking in it’s portrayal of my work.  Color me spent from listening!  I can’t wait to share!”

Costin Chioreanu:

“I was shocked when I find out from Marius that John contacted us through Asiluum for a collaboration. Now I’m shocked that we really did this, and he will really use
it during his magnific exhibition. I like very much his themes and I consider this a huge opportunity to prove worldwide that music is not dead and that artistic relationships have not borders. “

Some of you may remember that Asiluum started with the release of an album named ”
Five Hours Before and Sometimes After” by Nightpray.
It’s been roughly two years since that came out and we think that now it’s time for a brand new Nightpray release.
So there you have it folks: “Dreamocracy” out 15.03.2010.

Nightpray – Five hours before and sometimes after

“Nightpray este tot munca lui Costin Chioreanu, doar că de data asta el e în faţa noastră singur-singurel. Doar câţiva prieteni l-au ajutat din Dodheimsgard, Discordless şi din formaţia avant-black Satanochio. După părerea mea este follow-up la nu-prea-încântătorul Subway Night Orchestra – şi este genial. Ca şi Discordless -”148 Light Years”, şi asta e un material experimental al naibii de sinistru, cu o atmosferă de cimitir cosmic. Continue reading

After 5 years, Discordless returns with a darker, noisier and even more uncategorizable album than its debut ep “Deprived of Oxygen”.

Impredictable and imperfect by excellence, “148 Light Years” features a heavy sound evolved from its industrial begginings into an unique combination of ambients, noise, drones and electronic madness.

The artwork is painted using mixed-media techniques by prolific artist Costin Chioreanu of Twilight13Media who also makes a guest appearance on this record as a guitar player.

“148 Light Years” is a collective effort of Marius Costache(noise), Ana Roman(piano), Costin Chioreanu(guitar), Jeno Havelaar(noise) and Razvan Raduta(drums) and it was produced, mixed and mastered by Marius Costache.
