With contributions from [[Neutral Milk Hotel]] members [[Jeff Mangum]] and [[Julian Koster]], as well as individual contributions from [[J. Kirk Pleasant]] of [[Calvin, Don't Jump!]] and [[fablefactory]]'s [[Roxanne Martin]], it was intended to be an experimental project in [[ambient music]]. After their releases, the band members became busier with their other projects, and Black Swan Network appears to be on permanent hiatus.
==Releases==
Black Swan Network released one full-length album on [[Camera Obscura (record label)|Camera Obscura]] and two [[Extended play|EPs]].
The full-length album, ''[[The Late Music]]'', was born out of a small message hidden in the liner notes of the Olivia Tremor Control's ''[[Music from the Unrealized Film Script, Dusk at Cubist Castle]]'', requesting that people submit recordings of dream descriptions to the band. The album consisted of seven untitled pieces incorporating the submissions with different other ambient sounds and musical fragments.
