רומיאו (Romeo)


Part 2 of a 3 cassette series on [d]EDITIONS MEGO. SOMA's lucubrate excursion researching repetitive minimalist/primitive solo electric guitar is presented here in the form of pure abstraction and over-saturation. Recorded at the underground venue/library UGANDA in January 2011, situated in Jerusalem's new city. רומיאו projects one man's personal encounters within Jerusalem's "old city" walls for a repeated time: the intensity, dementia and absurdity of the human condition; the magnetism & repulsion of Solomon's ruin; encountering primitive arcane spiritualism & beauteous living passion; and being affected & subjected by these encounters.
