about

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

Oscill_Ether is guitar based ambient at its best, and I'm very honoured to have shared stages with him. Seriously beautiful and otherworldly, make it loud and turn out the lights. agrammeofsoma

I play guitar in this band. Piano driven cinematic post rock. It gets dense. Free album, give it a spin! agrammeofsoma
