Lumen Drones

Lumen Drones certainly are a Norwegian “psychedelic drone rock and roll” trio comprising celebrated traditional hardanger fiddle participant Nils Økland, guitarist Per Steinar Lay, and drummer Ørjan Haaland. The second option two are both users from the longstanding post-rock quintet the reduced Frequency in Stereo system. Their sound is usually a swirling, dramatic create of hypnotic rhythms, improvisation, and cinematic episode. The trio’s 1st association occurred when Økland was asked to try out on LFIS’ 2009 recording Futuro. Following the classes, a rapport was founded and he remained in touch. This year 2010, all three music artists participated — albeit in individual ensembles — in an area advantage for Haitian earthquake victims. In addition they performed a collaborative arranged that went therefore well, the trio started rehearsing together inside a chapel hall, saving impromptu, improvisational demos over an interval of months. During this time period they founded a audio. The hardanger fiddle gives more harmonic options due to its extra four (in a few case five) strings. The music group experimented with the various roles of both stringed devices, improvising on folk-, psychedelic-, and rock-based suggestions and bringing these to bear on the shared dynamic that’s frequently thematic at its middle. The shared affects the three people taken to the fore all are likely involved within their music: Sonic Youngsters, Durutti Column, the Velvet Underground, the Doorways, as well as the psych-era Dave Pike Established, to name several. After their demonstration and rehearsal period had been finished, they documented their self-titled debut record in Oslo with documenting and combining engineer Ketil Ulland in 2011. It had been released by ECM in nov 2014.
