During my vacation in Scotland in Augus, 2007 I did some live collaboration with my friend Ruaridh Law better known as The Village Orchestra / TVO.

He finally got around doing some mastering tricks to the piece and made it available for download. In the piece the first twentysomething minutes are my solo noodles, while after he jumps in and we play yet another fortysomething  minutes of drones and noises. Total duration is 1 hour and 7 minutes.

Go to http://ruaridh.marciablaine.com/?page_id=36 for downloading this recording and much more free downloads. Or if you just want to download this piece click on this link.

A short video of me doing my thing live at ZXZW 2007.The music you hear here was the first live performance of what later became the release Drowning in a pool of trees.

If you want to hear more of this just go to the releases page and check the EP drowning in a pool of trees.

As the stone falls it won’t come up again” was my last effort in making lush ambient techno and IDM like structures. After this release I turned completely into drone and soundscape music.
Though, because of the nature of this piece at that time it gained quite some attention. With over 2000 downloads from the website I had at that time and another 900 (and a bit) from Archive.org it can be said to be really popular considering it never got any affiliation with a record label.

Due to this popularity at that time I thought it was time to re-upload it here in higher quality. You can now get it in various formats including mp3 and FLAC

The file is completely free for download, though I would really appreciate a donation if you really enjoy the release.
You can decide for yourself what your price will be, if you do not want to pay just mark the box with 0 (but don’t forget to fill in your name).

In the extra files you can find the original artwork to download, so do not forget to this. With this you can burn it to a CD-R and make it a nice looking package in your collection.

A new year has started and I thought it was about time to update this site a bit. The other one got old and boring and not as easy to update.

So here it is, the new and improved Orphax website.

There is about the same information as on the previous one, but all worked out better (at least I think so).

In the future more information will be added and probably some more pages (there on top).

I am updating the site to a blog-style site.

If you see this before there is more information please go to http://www.orphax.com/indexold1.html to see more information.
