about

Originally released on Kalamine Records and now made available on my artist page. kalaminerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-lord-of-shades-decides

'The Lord of Shades Decides' is a collection of eight soundscapes recorded and composed on modular synthesizer and tongue drum.
Not intended as strictly ignorable ambient in the Eno tradition 'The Lord of Shades Decides' is rather a series of journeys in sound for your inner eye to venture on.
