Andreas Voelk & Scott Monteith - And All The Clocks Ran Dry (2026)

And the Clocks All Ran Dry is the result of a single night suspended outside of time. Recorded in one continuous session, the collaboration between Andreas Voelk (das ende der liebe) and Scott Monteith (Deadbeat) captures the rare intensity of two artists fully surrendering to sound—unrehearsed, unhurried, and unbound.

The album unfolds as a meditation on transience and stillness, a dialogue between dub's deep spatial pulse and krautrock's hypnotic motion. Across its duration, drumless anti-rhythms dissolve into organic textures, and moments of silence take on equal weight. What begins as improvisation gradually becomes architecture—music that builds itself in real time and then vanishes into the night from which it came.

In Voelk's Berlin studio, amid the hum of analog machines and tape hiss, the pair followed a single thread of intuition. No overdubs, no retakes—just two artists chasing the delicate balance between precision and drift, Two friends relishing the interaction. The result is an album that feels alive and breathing, with the tension of impermanence.

Throughout the album, echoes of Cluster, Popol Vuh, Basic Channel, and King Tubby ripple through the fabric of the music. Yet rather than homage, these influences serve as points of departure.

Voelk and Monteith craft something uniquely their own: an ambient landscape where repetition becomes revelation, and where time itself seems to loosen its grip.

As the title suggests, And the Clocks All Ran Dry is both an event and an atmosphere—a document of what happens when two sonic worlds briefly align, and time momentarily stands still."
