December news
Greetings and a Happy Solstice from symbolic insight. The one thing we all agree upon is that 2016 has been a challenging year. It seems the old and new have been clashing and many changes are happening, which is exciting. We look forward to 2017, as it will be our biggest year yet for releases and events. There will not be a textures event this December. We will return January 29 to the Mutiny.
Thank you for your interest and support in new underground experimental music and sound art.

This album explores ambient space and minimal drones using synths, processed trumpet, 12-string guitar and voice samples (except track 1 which is heavy noise beats).
