LABEL UPDATE
sonolumina's debut album, "solar logos" is finished and currently being manufactured for release this summer. Six years in the making, this project was created and recorded at symbolic insight studios in Nederland, Colorado. This cd features an experimental electronic IDM sound, which combines world percussion, lush ambient palettes, and heavy bass pulses. The cd showcases:
- bahiya (jewl petteway) on zils and processed violin, flute, and vocals
- bios+a+ic (wesley davis) created the electronic beats and fused it with various drum layers provided by Jonathan Brummett and Erik Brown. He also added processed trumpet, vocals, and samples to the mix.
- Bass guitar contributed by Leon Arguello
- Handmade banjola played by Al Petteway.
- Field recordings gathered in India by Cindy Miller
- Strings, accordion and vocals by Terra Petteway Davis.
We are very excited about this release as it is the birth of the new project, sonolumina. We plan to support our first release with live multimedia performances locally and nationally.
