Will there be a CD?
Maybe.
Will there be a cassette?
Fuck yeah.

The biggest problem with having a creative brain? We're already sketching out the next music collaboration while the last one isn't even out yet. Our brains are officially two-timers, and we’re here for it.

Oh what a difference mastering makes!

🧵🪡 While we are waiting for our first album to be released we thought it would be fun to share some of our inspiration for the overall album, OURORA. This is where you’ll find more and more links to show what’s going through our heads. -Allan Redd and Ted Hille, Very Late Relics.

Out here sharing private listening links with mastering engineers like what?

Adding all the metadata to the music files for this album is so draining. #music #pita

Want to hear a song called My Mom’s Prius? ☝️ My band wrote that one and I’m proud to say with pride that that it’s in this sampler — along with many of our genius label-mates!

Very excited to say that we now have the final Ourora music files ready for mastering. Time to reach out to a mastering engineer to finalize this set of songs for all ears and devices. #VeryLateRelics #VLR #OURORA #ambientjazz #newmusic #instrumentalmusic #tenorSax #keys #portlandmusic #mastering

Listening to Bill Laswell's "Purana" right now for Very Late Relics, and it's absolutely opening up new creative pathways. That bass is moving. Laswell and Jeff Bova creating pure sonic alchemy. Highly recommend for deep inspiration. #BillLaswell #Purana #VeryLateRelics #Ambient #Dub #Creativity

“Ourora" is in final mixdowns before mastering! As we wait, it's the perfect time to introduce the minds behind Very Late Relics and the spark that brought us together.

2 layouts options, 7 image options—the cover art for the first Very Late Relics album is beginning to breathe.

Hats off to that!
"I definitely could get a great feeling if I go to a museum and see some of the paintings, and boy, I'm right in the zone, I could play forever. All these art forms have an energy that you can transfer into your music. A celestial energy." –S.R. to Jon Irabagon in Down Beat, 2016

In a delightful turn of events for Very Late Relics, the track order for the album simply... presented itself. No philosophical wrestling, no late-night tears. Here it is. We're as surprised as you are. 🎷 And now, time for artworks.

We had a "final" track today. Turns out, our critical thinking skills are still stubbornly operational.

The Bandcamp currents run deep on Bluesky. It’s easy to get pulled into the fascinating sounds being shared across feeds. We are feeling glad our own vibes will soon be part of these interesting frequencies.

Sky drifting softly today... ☁️ Final notes of the tenor sax are settling into place, the last whispers of breath captured. 🎷 A sonic landscape has taken shape building a hum of anticipation for the textures to come. ✨ #VeryLateRelics #AmbientJazz #NewMusic #TenorSax #StudioVibes #Bluesky

Watch the video for #SimonJKaris' remix of #SarahMaryChadwick's "Soundtrack."

See Chadwick not just as a songwriter, but as the accomplished visual artist she is — each brushstroke a mesmerizing act of turning ache into beauty.

Surfacing from the depths and echoes of Very Late Relics... 9 tracks out of 10 coalesced for the first album (a soundscape of instrumental journeys and a lone human resonance). Visuals are taking shape, Bandcamp brewing. More soon as we assemble the sonic artifacts. 👋

Drifting in... Very Late Relics, an ambient jazz project conjuring hazy soundscapes for late nights and quiet moments. More to come...
