Seattle Doom Quintet

"Seattle’s improv ensemble Seattle Doom Quintet may be described as avant garde but their liberal usage of wit and melodic structure makes them quite acceptable to those who tend to avoid the atonal. In fact, their improvisatory meanderings do not sound all that free-style at times, leaning heavily to both jazz and rock. The mix of acoustic ensemble with electronic  effects keeps them interesting throughout these live recordings. This is certainly worth a listen."

Nymphomania is a deeply psychedelic music project dedicated to the ancient practice of hypnotic repetition, promoting trance states and manic dancing. With pulsating and organically mutated quasi-melodic synth and drum textures, I create fields of psychic disruption in order to forcibly transport the listener to abstract dimensions. These are layered with my confident (yet world weary) chanting, glosolalia and crooning. The most nearly applicable labels would be forest psytrance, techno, surrealist ambient, avant-pop or simply 'experimental', but each album tends to have a drastically different theme, style and flavor and no pre-existing term could entirely summarize it.
