Jesse Beaman of My Empty Phantom performing Live @ The Hideout Theater
Sounds Like
Unlike lots of ambient, and other music made in the bedroom, Jesse played instruments, including haunting synths, and a psychedelic guitar, no computer in sight.
Quietly spoken Jesse seemed unsure, some what insecure, but his music spoke for him, unlike film music, a genre most often compared to this sort of ambient music, the music was the foreground here, not the background. -Austin City,Life and Music by Triman................................................................................................................................................... My Empty Phantom is basically a one man show from Jesse Beaman, who creates a very pleasing Eno-esque ambient soundscape, chilled but lively enough not be soporific. Have a break from the twenty four hour rush hour of twenty first century living and check out this live version of the hypnotic Field Of Flowers. -Stracty Buckles Vinyl Pleasure...............................................................................................................
