lament by agrammeofsoma
Something very new and very, very ambient. Guitar textures achieved with pieces of scientific glassware, cigarette lighters, breath, a timpani mallet (thanks Geoff!) experimentation with under-powered active pickups (thanks Josh!), and my housemate's violin bow (thanks Samantha!).
The whole album is inspired by temperature and is dedicated to my amazing Australian Music Group friends. I guess while even empires have to fall from time to time, I trust there is still bread on the table xo

there is always soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous east, three for a dark eternity on the moon.
