Somnium and the Quantum Round LP



CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
This album is the funky, freaky, sometimes dream-like result of the past two months of instrumental jamming and recording. All the musicians in The Quantum Round are improvisers, which means that even the ideas we compose prior to playing will be played differently every time. The music is a combination of our familiarity improvising with each other, exploration, experimentation, and uncertainty.

Track Listing:
1) Who is it That Knows
2) A Universe From Nothing
3) !
4) Boat on a Moonbow
5) Layin' Low
6) Trinth
7) As Heard Through the Haze
8) Sly Musings
9) *Island Part III (Under the Stars)

Personnel:
Somnium - Guitar, Samples, Signal Processing, Production
Shrub - Bass
Crags - Drums
Featuring:
Antimi - Keyboards (Tracks 4, 5, 6, and 8)
Billy The Pimp - Drums (Tracks 6 and 8)
Iris - Keyboards, Electronic Effects, Percussion (Tracks 1,2, and 9)
Pappa-J - Percussion (Tracks 1 and 2)
Renz - Album Art
