Sounds Like
sonic folk for the eternal mind, altocumulus clouds in an open sky at the end of the only day i've lived. this is the sound of my softest oldest thinnist cotton tshirt caressing my skin.
Encouraged by a dear friend I started recording songs at home. Inspired by an endless list of recorded music, chance encounters, poetry, film, concerts, jams........
I finished recording my first album 'The Demolition Series'. Guest musicians include; Torben Tilly, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Anthony Pieretti and Lucinda Dayhew, thank you!
available now online in the USA; www.armedorphan.com
Out on cd/vinyl on Staubgold, www.staubgold.com
'Jasmina Maschina melds the most simple and innocent chord progressions of time-honoured folk music with a noisenik’s attraction to repetition, drone and inventiveness to create the sensation of paresthesia on the skin and mind. 'The Demolition Series' sounds like an effortless album. Soaring beauty, short rides to nowhere, characters met in the dark, are all in the experience of the artist. Purely, it is a clear view through steely eyes with a touch of innocent mysticism.'
'Really and truly there are no low points or filler tracks here, the songs, changing pace and instrumental colouring through out are always consistent in songwriting flare, harmonic homing and rich/ accomplished and soothing playing. I can see this appealing to anyone and everyone and not just folk fans as the Demolition Series is a collection of great tuneful, well written and conceived tracks, performed with great passion, feeling and depth. One of the high points of this year and surly the debut album of the year' - Roger Batty, Musique Machine

Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
