the blind deaf stone / by Orla Wren



“It felt like my every neurone was enveloped in the softest organic life. Nurture.”
G.M.Dickson

“A beautiful album, very proud to have been involved.”
Michael Lawrence|Bladud Flies

“Disarmingly beautiful.”
Marisa Joaquim Lourenco|Kunstkamera curator of dreams


In the summer of 2020 I made a record with and from one monophonic synthesizer and a pair of stereo binaural mics, in the middle of nowhere in Scotland, an analog study in radical reductionism.
My new friends Michael Lawrence and Lauren Winten at Bladud Flies mastered and pressed it onto two lathe cut, clear vinyl 10” records in Wales. My old friend Colin Herrick then did his usual intricate lunacy with the packaging in San Francisco.
A marvellous story and a globe trotting one of sorts in a slightly slowed down world.
Four sides of vinyl, four longform pieces, in three movements each.
The Blind Deaf Stone is available on double 10" vinyl and limited edition CD only from Colin over at Time Released Sound.

Thanks and love to all involved and connected 💐❤️
