Desiderii Marginis, Troum, Martin Bladh (IRM, Skin Area) & Karolina Urbaniak, and Anemone Tube have gathered to pay homage to the first four novels of British writer J.G. Ballard: The Wind From Nowhere, The Drowned World, The Drought, and The Crystal World, which are often seen as disaster novels.

Each of the four projects presents a very unique take on the chosen work, using the respective text as a starting point to offer sonic representations of and (further) perspectives on these books, using drones, field recordings, words and much more to create evocative and richly layered soundscapes.

Adorned by a painting of German artist Alex Tennigkeit depicting a sphinx-like hybrid creature, a phoenix rising from the ashes of our civilization, the double album also includes an in-depth essay by Michael Göttert (African Paper) on Ballard's works in which he argues that the novels can best be understood as texts of transformation, as well as texts by the sound artists.

Mastered by Hunter Barr. Ltd x 250 copies on 'neon yellow' vinyl with printed inner sleeves.
