PD-NMO-25 \\\^◊^/// – Bird of Prey EP (2025) feat Gaby Fuchs
Mater Suspiria Vision’s side project \\\^◊^/// returns in 2025 with the Bird of Prey EP, featuring cult celebrity Gaby Fuchs. The release conjures the forbidden spirit of Horror Schlager, blending occult cinema atmospheres with spectral Schlager nostalgia and ghostly cabaret. A hallucinatory broadcast from an alternate dimension, it drifts between trance incantation, VHS decay, and cryptic dream-pop.
Elated to welcome one of the most enduringly creative and boundary-pushing artists of the last few decades to quiet details, Robin Rimbaud, otherwise known as Scanner.
A towering figure in the worlds of music, sonic and visual art, dance, installation and a myriad of other disciplines – Robin has covered a huge amount of artistic ground since his earliest forays into our consciousness in 1991.
From countless albums and projects as a solo artist and in many collaborations, including the likes of Brian Ferry, Michale Nyman, Steve McQueen, Stella McCartney, Laurie Anderson and Hussein Chalayan, and Pauline Oliveros; to the first Sound Art commission at the Tate Modern London; scoring a dance piece for the UK Olympics; the list of his critically-acclaimed achievements goes on and on.
At the core of his work is always a deep curiosity, the ability to make cognitive leaps into the creative unknown and fashion something beautiful – it’s with this sense of wonder he’s made something truly incredible for quiet details.
The album is a stunning sonic exploration of the world around him, another fundamental element running through his work – realising the majesty contained within structures that has always been there, now brought to life.
As Robin says:
This album is forged entirely from the resonant clangs, echoes, and whispers of a stainless steel staircase at home, transforming everyday architecture into an unexpected orchestra.
By coaxing rhythm, tone, and atmosphere from the metallic body of a staircase, the work reimagines movement between floors as a passage through sound.
No synthesisers were used in the creation, only the natural sound of the staircase using a geophone seismic microphone and the gentle assistance of the occasional resonant filter and sample software.
This has led to an album of enveloping beauty – highly textured drones meet distant pulses; metallic fragments merge with hauntingly evocative melody. Physical architecture translated to harmonic structures in the most breathtaking way imaginable.
There’s so much to admire here – from the beauty of the original recordings to the highest level of craft to turn them into something so musically engaging – a true masterpiece from one of our finest artistic minds.
Huge thanks to Robin for being part of the series.
The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album – originating from a photo from Robin which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.
As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.
The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, created by the artist and representing the music in its purest form.
NOISE TRAIL IMMERSION are back on the scene with “Tutta La Morte In Un Solo Punto,” a visceral and uncompromising album that wants to get straight to the listeners’ stomachs rather than their heads, channeling all the pain, chaos and inscrutability that characterize the depths of the human soul into extremely chaotic and short tracks.
A new turning point in the musical journey of NOISE TRAIL IMMERSION, “Tutta la Morte in un solo punto” transfigures the spiritual component added by “Curia” (2021) to the Italian band’s music, in some ways resuming the cavernous, furious and desperate approach of “Symbology of Shelter” (2018), but without its more nihilistic component.
The idea was to express a deep suffering, even violent and furious, but still an integral part of a cathartic vision, which sees the human experience at its center, in a continuous dialogue and clash between matter and spirit.
Musically, the research focuses on condensing the climaxes of the tracks in specific moments, in which intricate but memorable guitar riffs take center stage, with refined harmonies and continuous interlocking, suspended in a perpetual tension between dissonances… more

Scraped from the digital domain, here are the last recordings I ever did on my 4-track tape machine. It was murder cutting up PLU and some other parts of tracks on tape. I hope you like this “lost classic”, but it was never really lost as it was available from Vuzh Music for many, many years. This is a WHOLENESS RECORDINGS release: WHOLE022025 credits released October 1, 2025
Many thanks to Nigel Ayers whom I wrote asking permission. He said it was up to the record company. And thanks to Vicki Bennett of People Like Us, whom I didn’t ask as I didn’t know her address. Cover art by longtime friend and cohort C. Reider who runs Vuzh Music.

Mika Vainio started making a new Ø album in 2014. He almost finalized the record before his too early passing in 2017. The album Sysivalo is the 9th out of 8 full scale albums, released under the Ø alias by Vainio. Ø was his longest running project from 1993 to 2017. Sysivalo was recorded during 2014-2017 and is 60 min long album with 20 tracks, produced by Vainio. He described the record as a distinct Ø album that was going to include several shorter tracks, etudes. The title, Sysivalo, is invented by Vainio by combining the Finnish words sysi (dark or sinister) and valo (light).
Like life itself, the album carries a quiet darkness – honest and full of hidden light. The many of the tracks are beatless subtle soundtracks of eclipsed emotions. Like an incapacitated creature waiting for something to happen.
The closing track Loputon (Endless) is maybe the most beautiful tracks Vainio has ever written, Vainio’s last word. credits released September 15, 2025

Label Description: Our favorite six-string shaman is waving that axe around again! Sir Richard Bishop wrenches forth fresh damnable truth and beauty from a musical kamikaze run through histories both known and unknown. Turning a gimlet eye to the American Primitive guitar style, Sir Rick applies his own bloodthirsty interpretive methods on a self-described “excursion into the dark woods,” to locate – and play along with – the Primitive’s moonshine-fed inner savage.
