Terma - Artificial Order of Ideas

'Terma' is a music project of Salar Niknafs (electric guitars and drones) and Babak Navak (piano and synthesizers. The duo was originally formed in 2018 and their music is a combination of ambient soundscapes, free improvisation and melodic experimentalism. 

The track ‘Room 208’ was recorded in April 2019. Room 208 is a surreal space in Haruki Murakami’s ‘The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle’, which exists within darkened corridors of a subconscious labyrinth. The room is where the protagonist finds his innermost fears, reminiscent of Room 101, the repository of every person’s greatest fear in George Orwell’s 1984.

Before the night falls

Terma - Room 208

The premise of 'Lesser Lights' was to create a narration, emotionally raw and personal, hopefully the sounds come through as it was intended.

A few notes about the EP:

Sketches were mainly done in Melbourne tram 64, where I spent a couple of hours a day commuting. Much inspiration was found in the railway hum and clunk, as from the co-travellers in the window seat. The sound of the album although preserved for the most part, occasionally developed into sections perverse enough to be noticed.

A greater deal of inspiration was drawn from Abul Mogard, Rafael Anton Irisarri and Loscil, whose music I referred to every other day. The tracks where then recorded and mixed in an unforeseen lockdown in mid 2020.

Extraordinary cover art by the 19 century artist and astronomer, Étienne Trouvelot. His photographs documented what invisible might have meant at a time, this particular photo showing an electric spark obtained in an electrostatic generator.
