I came to realise that I have had many tracks spread across compilations over the last 25 years, so I wanted to gather some of them together before the cds rotted and it became harder to source the audio.
Therefore, I present ‘Unusual Phenomena’ for your listening pleasure.

Unusual Phenomena
July 3, 2020The Sphere of Density 2CD now available from Lagowski Bandcamp
June 17, 2020My new double CD set is now available from my Bandcamp site. If you purchase the CD’s or album download from there, you also get a set of live photo’s of the S.E.T.I. performance, taken by Yukari, at the Wroclaw Industrial Festival 2019.
‘Strictly Drone IV’
June 5, 2020Thanks to Shawn Splane for the excellent fly recording, which became drone.
Shawn explained ‘Recorded on iPhone 5/5/15 in my basement. A fly infestation mysteriously appeared that spring in the basement. After tiring of swatting them or shooing them out of the room, I wondered if flypaper was still a thing. Surprised to find some at the local hardware store. Didn’t take long for the victims to start populating the flypaper. This one was valiantly trying to escape and provided its own tragic soundtrack.’
‘Offshore’ released today!
June 5, 2020Two albums due on June 5th 2020
May 16, 2020On June 5th there will be two new releases – S.E.T.I.’s ‘The Sphere of Density’ CD on the Polish Zoharum label and Lagowski’s ‘Offshore’ collection via Bandcamp.
‘Sphere of Density’ is a double CD – one studio set and one live at the XVIII WROCŁAW INDUSTRIAL FESTIVAL.
About ‘Offshore’
The photo was taken in Yokohama, Japan as we were descending on the escalator. It often occurs to me that it’s possible to make music even when you’re not sitting in your home ‘studio’, whatever that may be comprised of.
Many of the tracks on ‘Offshore’ were recorded using a 5th generation iPad in AUM. Some then had overdubs in Ableton Live 9 (DAW) with Reason 10 synths. A couple were made on the Novation Circuit, with added Reason 10 synths.
I will have copies of the S.E.T.I. CD in a few weeks, but of course, you can get them from https://zoharum.bandcamp.com/ earlier in June if you wish.

Strictly Drone III
May 7, 2020
Strictly Drone II
April 30, 2020This collection (the second in my occasional drone series) features a Bumblebee, a Shamisen, a Nebulophone and a lot of layering. The photo is of the Moon from our garden, on a long exposure. It moved across the sky while nobody was looking.
I recommend playing this back on good headphones or on a music system with good bass.
Be sure to check the track info for ‘Bee Flight’, for details of how it was made.
Shamisen played by Yukari Lagowski. Bee sounds reproduced with permission.
