"Sleeping With Fractals — definitely one of the best albums of 2013 so far. Our listeners are loving it for sure!!"

Shaun Geraghty — Radio Stafford FM

"Sleeping With Fractals by Ontofield is the stunning debut album of a superbly talented individual, crafting his skills. The Ancient One's advice is… Buy It Now… the experience might just last forever."

Jim Lawson — The Ancient One — Cuillin FM

"Overwhelmed by the talents of John Stuart. Sleeping with fractals is a great album, and I'm very glad I've found it."

Authority Ontofield  ·  2026

Now recording

Who decides? Who enforces? Who obeys — and why?

The second Ontofield album confronts the many faces of authority — political, institutional, social, and internal. Written from the perspective of someone who believes in self-organising societies and the quiet radicalism of living outside imposed structures.

Not a protest record. Something more unsettling than that. A record that asks the question and sits with the discomfort of the answer.

John Stuart &Ontofield

Ontofield is a word he invented: ontological — the philosophical study of being and existence — collapsed into field, meaning a dimension, a plane, a space where different rules might apply. The name came before the music.

"Anarchic progressive music" — self-described, 2013. Still accurate."

The debut album Sleeping With Fractals was released in 2013. Available online at Bandcamp and sold to independent record stores across the world.

The second album has a title: Authority. It explores the nature of power, control, and what happens when people are simply left alone to organise themselves. It is not an angry record. It is something more considered — and in places, more disturbing than anger.

He is based in the UK.

A note on the name: John Stuart Mill — philosopher, political economist, and one of the great defenders of individual liberty against the encroachments of authority — would have found Authority a congenial listen. Whether that connection is coincidence is left as an exercise for the listener.
