Absconding Life is an experimental music project that has been active since 2013. The project consists solely of Fabian Basker and is based in London, England. No profit is ever taken whatsoever. All proceeds from online purchases are donated to charities of the buyers' choosing, or to the one listed in the Bandcamp bio if left unspecified.

Earlier releases were more varied and experimental, heavily relying on musique concrète techniques and ideologies, whereas later works veered more towards harsh noise and noisegrind or, contrastingly, to vast (and still containing heavy noise elements) ambient soundscapes.

Absconding Life has featured lyrical themes since 2013, however these have been more prominent in later releases, relying on more audible screamed delivery. The currently in progress noisegrind quadrilogy features stream-of-consciousness-esque lyrics on philosophical, social, environmental, political and ethical themes.


Lyrical inspiration is often taken from:

[Poets]:
Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf.

[Artists]:
Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Elliott Smith (Elliott Smith), Jon Chang (Discordance Axis), J.R. Hayes (Pig Destroyer), Katherine Katz (ex-Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Robert Smith (The Cure).

[Philosophers]:
Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida, René Descartes, Michel Foucault, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Neitzsche, Plato, Jean-Paul Sartre, Arthur Schopenhauer.
