Everyone knows that the British love their dogs, this little dog was no exception. Bloomer was born in Athens and lived there with my daughter for many happy years. She was quite a little character, so it was a great shame when we lost her a few years ago.

When I wrote this song, I could hear the two syllables of her name resonating in my head, so this became a song to remember her by, I hope you enjoy it.

For A Little Shaggy Dog

«Subzero» is my darkest and saddest album to date. The tracks in it strongly echo the emo/rock genre.

An ambient piano track that I hope will create some emotion for you, probably best heard on headphones, I hope you enjoy it.

Originally this idea came by listening to a YouTube video on composition then I used it as the basis for a short challenge piece on Max Konyi’s Sonic Sorcery channel under the title “Where I Must Return“

I turned it into this ambient track, I will possibly use the idea to create a choral piece in the future (maybe!).

Under the Moon

Who is PHRAME?
I've been doing music for a long time. You may not have heard of many of my past projects, and this is even a good thing. After all, in many ways these were my first steps, attempts to find my own style and develop my own skills.
Now, probably, is the time when I am basically satisfied with everything in my work. Oddly enough, I listen to my own work to the holes, although this is not typical of me at all. I'm mostly a perfectionist to the core, and I always see what needs to be tweaked, what's worth working on more. And yes, you might wonder why I have such a strange name. Don't you think that a strange person like me should have a really strange name?
My alias is a reminder of the framework and that I should go beyond it.
PHRAME is a framework, and I am outside the framework, this is my philosophy.
You can now roughly understand the meaning of my alias.
In my work, I'm not going to do some typical trap about four discs, my work is more about emotions.
I consider myself a representative of emo music, and, of course, sometimes I find it interesting to play rapper.
But I prefer not to flirt with it, after all, our realities are far from the American ones, in order to play it seriously.
Just like you, I can be super confident and super vulnerable every other day."
I also have problems, just like you all, please don't think about the fact that artists and musicians don't have them at all.
At the moment, I release music under the pseudonym PHRAME — this is not the only thing I do.
I also produce artists, do sound design, and bring their work together.
At the moment, we are working very closely with my brother, who makes music under the pseudonym SCREAMMERXXX. He also moves in the spirit of emo music. You'll find out about it a little later, we have two albums coming up in the fall. So wait, don't get lost.

In my early years I took piano lessons, regretfully I stopped them in my teens. I've always had a piano in the house and over the years have composed a number of songs (without words). What’s important to me is the melodic nature of the pieces and I wanted to share them with others. The origins of the music are probably influenced by my early classical lessons, Chopin and Schubert to name a couple. I love Liszt’s Hungarian and Rachmaninoff’s Russian styles but sadly my technical ability hampers the inclusion of their techniques.
Today’s home recording software allows many opportunities to develop compositions using other instruments to compliment the piano however, using the software has been a challenge, trying to get the “right” sound for the piano has been the most difficult part of the process. I’m slowly learning and will probably remix some of my current tracks as my experience grows.
Once I have recorded my heritage pieces, I plan to write a new selection of music predominantly piano but also experimenting with more or different instruments, watch this space!
Thank you for listening and commenting on my compositions and for the reposts, please don’t hesitate to offer constructive criticism, it could speed up the learning process.
Best Wishes,
Chris Cummins
