Coyd the Peoploid I have been obsessed with this album for the last couple of weeks. Each of the songs are incredible, but my favorite track is Saturnus. I've never heard anything so eerie and otherworldly in my life. It's one of those special songs that gives me goosebumps all over and moves me at my very core. Favorite track: Saturnus.

about

In November 2020, Ruptured Records joined (virtual) forces with experimental musician Nathan Larson and his collective Lumen Project in Stockholm, Sweden, to produce a series of recordings at Tunefork Studios in Beirut.

The final selection of musicians consisted of leftfield Lebanese musicians Jad Atoui, Liliane Chlela, Nadia Daou [NÂR], Tony Elieh, Charbel Haber, Ziad Moukarzel, Sary Moussa, Jawad Nawfal, Julia Sabra, Anthony Sahyoun, Sharif Sehnaoui, Fadi Tabbal and Elyse Tabet, and Egyptian musician Aya Metwalli.

In keeping with the musical ethos of Lumen Project, the 14 musicians were grouped in pairs, and invited to compose and play an original “drone” recording, using the instrument(s) of their choice.
The result is 7 dense tracks of varying lengths, that freely incorporate ambient soundscapes, glitchy analog electronica, experimental drone rock and free-floating vocals.

The 2-day session at Tunefork Studios was filmed in its entirety by video artist Lujain Jo, while both audio and video recordings were the subject of a live broadcast by Lumen Project, which took place on March 13, 2021 - watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4DvJsrRpKE
