   About Ramon Galvan
Ramon Galvan is the former vocalist and keyboard player from the avant-rock band blackmilk. He is a self taught guitarist, and uses a similarly experimental approach to other instruments - allowing his unfamiliarity with them to guide his approach to songwriting. An intimate and delicate blend of arcane folk and bludgeoning menace, these are songs about a future that never arrived, a summer that ended, everyday worries and life long puzzles.Written mostly on guitar, the music is peppered with an array of collected instruments, field recordings and found objects. His debut solo album, ‘Outer Tumbolia’ maps out a clear emotional geography of loss, longing and acceptance, which is both nostalgic and utopian. It features an incendiary collaboration with Benguela drummer Ross Campbell on its dramatic closer as well as a woozy guitar-loop based melding with Jaunted Haunts label boss and close co-conspirator Righard Kapp. Live, the Galvan Trio is completed by Pierre Du Plessis on electric guitar and trumpet and Nic Dasilva on bass guitar and music box. Ramon Galvan plays electric guitar, kalimba and autoharp. Tracklist: 1) Luft 2) Trying to Tell (Summer House) 3) Chang, You 4) Luminarc 5) This is how 6) I Will rise Up 7) Grade by Grade 8 ) You Flossed the Stars 9) The Rupture 10) No Rest ..video from Outer Tumbolia Album Launch .. .. video for 'kimono dragon' by blackmilk
