Any Time Now

The second Architects + Heroes Records sampler features my song, "Any Time Now." It's harsh and claustrophobic and a little paranoid, much like modern life.

Arthur Dent & Deeper Than Space: Drift

In 1995, together with Arthur Dent (aka Borful Tang), I released an album of miasmic ambient on the Silent Records label. Entitled Drift, it was two epic slabs of murky ambient that favored low-end tones. The album has been re-released by Architects + Heroes Records and is available for download here.



The download contains an hour-long third track, "Chindogu," which was intended to be the follow-up release. Silent Records changed hands by this time and then closed for good and the track was never released.

Obake Radio

I have a new album coming out on November 5 via Architects + Heroes Records. Until then, you can listen to the lead track from the album here.


This track will also be released as a single sometime in the future.

Also check out this cool promo video for the album.

The Red Slope

In the deep of winter I composed a number of songs intended for an ambient album. They eventually became The Red Slope and you can hear it and download it here.


There was a sixth song that wouldn't fit. You can download it for free here.

Ultimately Always

My latest album, Ultimately Always, is now available as a pay-what-you-want download through Architects + Heroes Records.

Download here.

It's an ambient/drone affair and was made almost 10 years ago. The songs are comprised of even older bits that I re-processed and reassembled.

A CD version of the album will be released next month.

Catching Up With Kemek

Thought I'd take a moment to update everyone on my musical endeavors.

First, I have a new ambient mixtape out, Sometime/Somewhere, featuring tracks from Itsuka, Itsuka Extras and my forthcoming album on Architects and Heroes, Ultimately Always.

You can stream and download at Soundcloud, and stream at Mixcloud.

Sometime/Somewhere by kemek

Sometime/Somewhere by Kemek on Mixcloud

On October 4, Ultimately Always will be released through Architects and Heroes. It's a glitchy drone affair and I'm quite fond of it. This will be followed towards the end of the year with Ultimately Always Remixes, featuring reworkings of the songs by Digital Rust, Zygote, Asymmetrical Head, Borful Tang aka Lord Tang and myself.

I'm also happy to announce that Drift, the 1994 ambient album released under the name Arthur Dent and Deeper Than Space, will be re-released next year via Architects and Heroes. It will be packaged as a double album and include a never-before-released album-length track.

Itsuka Extras Is Out!

Well, it's been a few months since Itsuka came out but have I been resting on my laurels, so to speak? No, I've been busy preparing the release of Itsuka Extras, the companion album to Itsuka.

See, I worked on the Itsuka album over the course of 7 or 8 years and there were a lot of songs that didn't make the final cut. I liked these songs just as much as the ones on the album but they didn't fit the mood as well. Instead of letting them languish on my hard drive I figured I'd join the 21st century and put them out on the Internet myself.

This is the first release since the cassette trading days of high school (Factsheet 5 wut?)  that I've handled entirely myself, and I have to say it's been a lot of fun. From the mastering to the promotion to the distribution, I've done it all myself. (Well, not entirely—the incredible artwork was done by one Marya Villarin.)

The album is available here:

It's a pay-what-you-want deal so feel free to go crazy and make me rich. Or download it for free. I'm just happy if people like it. ^^
