Lightarmour Editions - LE09

Unholy Kings On A Black Horizon is an Audio-Visual collaboration between Lightarmour Editions and artist Jack Morph. The artist initially requested the use of a number of Ambient Machines tracks (from a now-deleted album from 2014) to accompany an exhibition of his works at the Art Gallery of Ballarat in May.

Ambient Machines is a softer, more minimal version of Fate Razor, whose first album influenced Jack Morph's artwork and the development of the theme of Unholy Kings. In turn, the artwork influenced both the remixed and new AM tracks.

Tracks from two other Perth electronic artists, X.lanDer and Open Mirror (both currently in Production for debut releases on Lightarmour Editions) were seamlessly spliced into the compilation. Finally, Melbourne's prolific talent David Thrussell was invited to contribute three of his Black Lung tracks - previously released, two of which have been reworked for Unholy Kings; including "Angstlos" from the legendary 1994 album "The Depopulation Bomb".

The album was compiled and mixed in the Lightarmour Editions studio, with a welcome and mysterious synchronicity playing itself out in the order and fit of the tracks - an 'accidental' narrative of the Exhibition's theme.

The Unholy Kings On A Black Horizon soundtrack is equal parts ethereal, brooding, light and dark, slow-moving and muscular; supra-planetary angst and ache on a shifting electronic soundscape. Unholy Kings On A Black Horizon is also an exhibition, a limited edition vinyl release, a CD, and an upcoming special boxed edition of prints. The blurb on the promo poster says it like this...

Unholy Kings on a Black Horizon maps out a landscape of Hell that is both Above and Below, to the Left and to the Right, Physical and Metaphysical, in the Stars and on Earth. The landscape of this unexpected revelation is composed of the Black Light Morphology Precincts - where form takes shape and associated entities preside; The Unholy Kings, self-crowned, bask and feed while the consciousness of the masses is diverted and sleeeeps. The narrative is singular, for both the Risen and the Fallen are fooled by One. Unholy Kings is accompanied by an eerily beautiful soundtrack of Australian electronic artists - including Melbourne’s Black Lung and Perth’s Ambient Machines.

Jack Morph Melbourne, Australia

Jack Morph was born in Perth, Western Australia and now lives in Nhill, North-Western Victoria. By day a humble Barista, by night euphoric as Agent Provocateur. He often 'suffers' mental downloads of great intrigue that demand to take shape as 'artwork'. Around those parts, the hills have eyes, but nevertheless when he thinks no-one is watching he loves to joyfully jig to Devo's "Mongoloid". ... more
