I’ve just released an EP of orchestral music called Chamber Sketches. The pieces started as writing exercises while I was exploring some symphonic sound libraries from Spitfire Audio.

The Flooded Assembly released
My latest Caustic Reverie album The Flooded Assembly is out today. It’s available at all the usual streaming and digital purchase outlets but I’d like to point your attention towards the Bandcamp, first and foremost.
Monsters, Madness and Magic review
Daniel from Monsters, Madness and Magic has reviewed the upcoming Caustic Reverie album The Flooded Assembly. Check it out!
“The Flooded Assembly” appeals to me more as a narrative of emotion rather than exposition – almost a mental snapshot of quarantined thought. Each song has a solid point, a theme to convey, but much like a person locked within their own thoughts, subtle shifts in the mind can cause one to lose focus, or to be suddenly overcome with strange emotions seeming unbidden; the human mind becomes accustomed to its confines, about to compartmentalize the isolation, thereby finding the time to briefly reason with other emotions and imagination.
Malinger single release
The first single from The Flooded Assembly is out today, including an animated video I made with VSDC.
The Flooded Assembly’s first review
Mike from Avant Music News has published the first review of my upcoming Caustic Reverie album.
“The Flooded Assembly is a haunting and ominous offering, with stark drones, quiet passages, organ-like synth, and slowly evolving sounds. The textures are airy but dark, with Schurman carefully using space to set moods…”
Music update
I have new releases from both of my main projects, Caustic Reverie and Sumptus Ignis, coming out in the near future.
Caustic Reverie’s single Malinger drops May 15th.
The full album is called The Flooded Assembly and should be out June 5th.
Finally, the new Sumptus Ignis, which has the title of Curtain Calls. The album includes our singles from 2019, two new songs, and a rerecorded version of one of the songs from our first EP. A few final mixes and mastering are still in the works, so I don’t have an exact date for this release. If all is well, it should be out summer of this year.
