Using piano, electronics, organ, electronics, rhythm, guitar and orchestral sweeps, Until the End of Vibration draws from a variety of sources of inspiration to ultimately end up at a place Michael Cashmore has long been chiselling at with a solo career that commenced with the justly lauded Nature and Organisation project in the early 1980s. While there's definitely a strong classical aura at work here, there are occasional embellishments and detours which wouldn't seem at all out of place on a '70s prog or krautrock obscurity, absolutely perfect for the shifting shades permeating throughout. Not only that but there are a couple of pieces suggesting Michael Cashmore could lay a deft hand on some electronic pop if he really wanted to. All in all, Until the End of Vibration is his most accomplished album yet. This is what he has to say about it and why it is what it is: \"Every time I work with sacred audio frequencies, I am learning from them and they are also an expression of my personal transformation of my physical consciousness. It is also a documentation of my experimentation with the unequivocal connection between music and mysticism, a connection that is almost exclusively used only for greed and money these days. It is a work about contrasts, how they accentuate each other and how they become more powerful because of this and more intense, an idea that I discovered in previous works as a way of increasing the ability of my neural pathways to endure high levels of stimulation and in a sense expanding my physical consciousness. I often am confused by the works that I create as I have trouble in remembering them, after I finish with one, I move on immediately to creating a new work that combine as a single process of understanding myself, physical consciousness and the universe itself. This album is about the journey of life to death, returning home in childhood consciousness once again, transforming from physical consciousness into cosmic consciousness and finally finding contentment and a sense of serenity. The album consists of 23 pieces that should be regarded as one piece.\" (Michael Cashmore, July 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lumberton Trading Company","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50531206463819,"sku":"2219704","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Michael_Cashmore_-_Until_the_End_of_Vibration_539f0fdf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728098667"},{"product_id":"the-snow-abides-completely-2","title":"The Snow Abides Completely","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichael Cashmore's The Snow Abides reissued on vinyl for the first time as a complete album in December via Svart Records Michael Cashmore, the main guitarist and composer for Current 93 from 1990 until around 2006, presents his 2007 solo offering The Snow Abides with vocals by Anohni (Antony and the Johnsons), Bill Fay and David Tibet (Current 93).

I was also extremely shy and had such bad self-confidence that I was simply embarrassed by my texts – so much so that I was unable to release them. It is only now around seven years later of personal transformation through divine love and positivity that I no longer have such problems and I am now finally able to release them here.” -Michael Cashmore, January 23rd 2024, Berlin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Svart Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50969853788491,"sku":"2233552","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LPx2","offer_id":50969853854027,"sku":"2233555","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_f3548506_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734063309"},{"product_id":"the-ninth-circle-beyond-the-sun-parts-one-to-ten-fu","title":"The Ninth Circle Beyond the Sun (Parts One to Ten)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest album from Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93 plus known for his work as Nature and Organisation) collects ten pieces which, as with the previous album, Until the End of Vibration, released by Lumberton Trading Company, draw from that magical place where crepuscular and moody soundtrack work converges with the kind of synth lines Tangerine Dream made a name for themselves with. Along the way, there are piano-led melodic swells, a couple of surprisingly serrated edges and sparingly used percussion veering between the bombastic and more emotionally charged. Between each of the compositions, there’s an overarching sense of sadness or resignation while carefully woven refrains point to the simple beauty one derives from staring at a night sky or the sun’s rise or setting over a serene sea apparently untouched by man. Sophisticated yet unostentatious, this is music that’s bold, minimal and utterly deserving of the attention of the film that will doubtlessly play out in your head as you lock yourself in to everything it promises. While we await the day when Michael’s work is hopefully accorded the recognition of the cinematic treatment it deserves, we can at least satisfy ourselves with everything he is producing along the way. The very fact he feels the most proud of The Ninth Circle Beyond the Sun, and each of the wonderful melodic signatures it is infused with, says absolutely everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lumberton Trading Company","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53547925602635,"sku":"R5361-9135","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/michaelcashmore_TheNinthCircleBeyondtheSunLUMC039.jpg?v=1759832845"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/michael-cashmore.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
