about

After many years of using loops in my compositions I have recently been trying to move away from that.

For the past several months I have been working on compositions which are made by producing fragments of various materials which are then combined into a long form work. I’ve worked in a fragmentary way in the past but I’ve not previously taken the further step of editing those fragments to create one long composition with overlapping segments.

Working in this way has allowed me to find continuity within my process, while creating compositional forms which are quite different from anything in my previous body of work.

Opus was composed using three elements which are layered throughout. One is a series of harmonic sections played on a synthesizer, another is a set of location recordings which were made while walking around my neighborhood over a number of days, and the final group are rhythmic motifs which were produced using filtered noise.

Guitar Studies I-III
by Zimoun

supported by 7 fans who also own “Opus”

Meticulously built guitar drone from the Swiss sound installation artist. There are no loops, only layers of prepared guitars played in real time, then played back through various devices and rooms to achieve a glistening, gliding and gauzy euphoria, drenched in distortion and feedback. https://www.vikingschoice.org/archive/guitar-drone-faustian-black-metal-bedroom-rave/ Lars Gotrich

ModularGuitarFields I-VI
by Zimoun

supported by 7 fans who also own “Opus”

This album is one of the most mesmerizing albums that i have heard in a long time. Zimoun delicately spin web after intricate web of guitar drones and layer them upon and into each other so that while listening your focus and concentration linger astray in the most wonderful way possible. This is nothing short of a sonic masterpiece and a must have release. Finn of Tomland
