Upwards, the Crimes I Committed is Phil Maggi's twentieth album -- a body of work five years in the making, conceived between 2019 and 2024 across a period that moved through pandemic stillness and intense creative immersion: paintings, drawings, and deep readings in Islamic Iranian spirituality (particularly the illuminationist philosophy of Sohrawardi and Imaginal concept conceived by Henry Corbin), pursued at home and across a handful of studios -- La Rouille (Liège), Koko-Studios (Sprimont), Le Laboratoire Central (Brussels), and his own Iva Bedlam Studios. The music is mixing all sort of assorted sounds which are familiar to the world of the composer (ambient-atmospheric, soundscapes and free-jazz with a touch of concrete music). Into this singular space, Maggi invited a circle of collaborators and kindred spirits -- Catherine Graindorge, Roxane Leuridan (Ensemble Hopper), Pavel Tchikov (Ogives, Sopa Boba), Zoé Pireaux, Marie Billy (Ogives), Pascal Di Pinto, Gabriel Marguerie, and HP Desrosiers (Zääär) -- each bringing their own distinct voice and artistry to the work. Phil Maggi (b. 1980, Liège) is a sound artist, composer and filmmaker whose practice spans electronic avant-pop (IVA BEDLAM), solo work released on Idiosyncratics and Sub Rosa Records.

Ranging from free-jazz to ambient-electronic contemporary art sound, this adventurous second and final chapter is an homage to Hardy Fox, pioneer and primary composer for The Residents.
