This playlist serves as a repository for uncanny musical minutiae, holding outsider sounds & odd strangers in reverence. Borne from late-night musical rabbit holes & rabid record store hunts, “Music to Scry To” is a product of a need to deconstruct ‘mood’ music.
It concerns the spaces between genres, aiming for the chalk outline of a sound.
Inspired by record labels Dark Entries, Ghost Box, Music From Memory, & Efficient Space, to name a few.

Ex Igne Infernali – Dylan Packard
29 October 2019
Under a heavy moon last October, synth magus Dylan Packard loosed Ritus Accersendi from its tomb. An unwieldy alloy formed of sizzling noise and percussive wallops, the project saw Packard’s more unholy urges crystalize in satanic electronics. Of its four tracks, named solely in unflinching Latin, “Ex Igne Infernali” could be considered its moment of respite…
