Artist History Been around scince -98. When starting out, the project was all-out electronic. It was some sort of pathetic melodic dark ambience with a rather depressive, gothic concept. Today though, it has developed alongside the neofolk project Apatheia and is now 80% acoustic, or so. It has become more vocal, and with a far more interesting concept than before the new era arose. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Press Reviews Review of The Spiral Stairway from http://garderob.cjb.net,a swedish ezine: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Väldigt vackert sentimental ambient med mer ljus än mörker. En drömsk, känsloladdad och högst intressant inspelning som jag gärna lyssnar på flera gånger om. Duktigt! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Review of the track "Echoes of a trumpet call" by GoM: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I nearly bought a CD of Gregorian monk chants, that apparently was only in the tiny, awful excuse for a record shop down the road because Classic FM, Britain's leading purveyor of awful easy-listening classical music, had recently done a series of programs on similar chants. Apparently, one of the simple people who listen to this awful radio station had bought the CD under the assumption that it would be nice and relaxing and unchallenging, but brought it into this shop for exchange a few weeks later. It must have spooked him, because since he's not the type to actually LISTEN to music intently, it was hardly going to bore him. This song has similar chanting in it. Echoing, deep, and as inhuman as any chant can (or maybe should) be. The song uses the inhuman yet unmistakably human sound of the chanting to good effect, accompanied by the occasional whispered, wordless exclamation. The tribal rhythm is unimposing but driving, and the song is held together with subtle waves of deep electronic tones and floating swells of a string section, unnoticeable unless keenly listened out for, but vital for the songs' droning effect (a droning effect that reminds me of John Cale [of Velvet Underground fame]). All of it covered in a patchwork of understated lo-fi scraping and crackling that harks of the atmospheric beauty of Set Fire To Flames and the rest of today’s Montreal avant-guardists. This is the sound of ghosts, of deep space, of total, frightening majesty that's all in the mind.
