Flowers for Bodysnatchers Duncan Ritchie ++ Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Fall The Night (EP). Available from BandCamp. Released November 14, 2016. https://flowersforbodysnatchers.bandcamp.com/album/fall-the-night Fall The Night is an EP Inspired by Nathan Hassall's illustrated poetry chapbook, The Flesh and Mortar Prophecy. Nathan Hassall leads the way where few are willing to go, deep into the mind's Dark Sanctuary. All-knowing doctors, schizophrenic demons and apocalyptic visions are all part of the process within the confines of flesh. Once entered, there is no way to unlearn the awakened chimeras of the self.

Released August 30, 2016. https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/love-like-blood Love Like Blood serves as a companion piece to Flowers for Bodysnatchers seminal Dark Ambient album Aokigahara. In this album we explore the haunted tale of despair of love lost, found and lost again. Our protagonists journey from the previous album is a shadowy narrative walking hand in hand with the fatal attraction that is Aokigahara. The album revisits the lonely intricate piano movements, soundscapes and field recordings compiled while exploring the underworld that is Tokyo. Exploring a metropolis and an individual constantly in a state of decay and rebirth. As is Love Like Blood. Written, Produced, Mastered by Duncan Ritchie. Artwork by Simon Heath & Duncan Ritchie. ++ Flowers for Bodysnatchers - Aokigahara. Available from Cryo Chamber. Released November 3, 2015. https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/aokigahara Aokigahara (青木ヶ原), known as the Suicide Forest is a 35-square-kilometre forest that lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Aokigahara forest is dense, shutting out all but the natural sounds of the forest itself. The forest has an historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, and it is a notoriously common suicide site. Flowers for Bodysnatchers explores the long journey to Aokigahara through soundscapes ripe with lonely pianos on textural backdrops. Countless hours have been spent field recording on the voyage between Tokyo to Aokigahara which creates the perfect atmospheric companion to the intricate instrumental approach. This is a beautiful dark ambient soundtrack culminating in the final choice between life and death. Written, Produced, Mastered by Duncan Ritchie. Artwork by Simon Heath. ++ Flowers for Bodysnatchers - S O L A R I S. Available from BandCamp.
