    This, the debut release from Wóma, is a collection of drones created using a bow chime, a resonating stainless steel instrument. The work features three tracks, the first of which is a single-toned, solo improvisation, and the final two, duets featuring very basic harmonies of two tones.

    Solitary in nature, the tracks’ drones are intended to ebb and flow in timbral and dynamic intensity like a sort of ocean of immersive sonic energy, enveloping the listener in waves of sound over a prolonged period of nearly 20 minutes a piece. This is not music for ‘listening’, but rather music that is felt and absorbed; it’s perhaps even music in its rawest, most primal state: unconcerned with the codes and conventions of modern music, and instead the result of a simple, solitary interaction between man and matter.

    The track names have been taken from a poem, ‘The Ruin’, written in the eighth century by an unknown English author and originally published in the Exeter Book. Like the artist’s name, Wóma - a word loosely translating to mean ‘a terrible noise’ – The Ruin was written in Old English, a language extinct for some eight hundred years, and chosen for its primordial evocations.

    Wóma #001 is available as a limited edition CDr, featuring hand-inked artwork by Wóma on a recycled card sleeve; it's also available as a digital download.
