about

“A Holy Art”, the first release under my new pseudonym Nymphomania, is an EP of ambient minimalism created with very limited means in a series of intense sessions during a very emotional and eventful period of my life. The songs are built from pulsing, washing synth lines and rhythmic filters. They create rhythmic and emotional spaces with carefully chosen tones. This is my entry into the genre of ambient music, in the classic Eno sense.

It is important to note that, at the time of creation, the process of creation was undertaken with extra-musical intentions, as well. It was my hope that the sounds of the drones could influence the energies of my immediate surroundings. Such extra-musical intentions are more thoroughly described by the words in parentheses in the track titles. The title “A Holy Art” refers to the ancient and sacred practice of creating drone.
