twilight science

Twilight Science is an imprint for sound, music, print and DVD editions initiated by artist Paul Schütze. We will progressively publish all back catalogue, new projects and collaborations. These will include works by Phantom City, NAPE, Schütze+Hopkins and fellow travellers.

                                                                                                                                      

In 1996 O Yuki Conjugate and The Sons of Silence performed a one-off collaboration at the Musiques Ultimes Festival in Nevers, France. The recording of the show, originally released on Noise Museum Records, has not been available for several years and we're proud to present it on Twilight Science for the first time as a lossless download.

The Sons of Silences's Let’s Kiosk was conceived and recorded as the successor to the well-received debut Leaf Records LP Silence FM but never saw the light of day. This 14-track release combines the album as originally planned with additional material. File under: downtempo, lo-fi, electronica.

We're delighted to see this recent review of The Void Yukio, Fille En Aiguilles and Europe: Concerts by John Gill in the Spring 2012 Paris Transatlantic. On NAPE, Gill writes: "The intensity verges on the oppressive, but if you liked the darker moods of Phantom City, you might have seen this coming. It's Robert Fripp's worst nightmare given monstrous form."

Nape is a new project from Paul Schütze. Inspired by contemporary metal, NAPE features Schütze, bassist Kevin Pollard, guitarist Simon Hopkins and others. NAPE's debut album is The Void Yukio.

Recorded and edited between 2010 and 2011, Fille En Aiguilles is the first studio album by Paul Schütze and Simon Hopkins, who have been working together live since the mid 90s.
