The Remains Of My Estate (Trome Records) is an independent record label based in London, U.K. concentrating on experimental ambient and lo-fi recordings, and some that fall in between. Releases are primarily on vinyl, sometimes with free cdrs or dvds, all with beautiful artwork. We are committed to incorporating multimedia such as film/visual artwork; downloads to be posted on the Trome website soon.
The first release is Duane Pitre/Pilotram Ensemble - 'Organized Pitches Occurring In Time' LP. Two slowly shifting and multi-textured ambient drones created acoustically with violin, cello, viola, bass clarinet, alto saxophone and tone generator with pump organ and guitar. Both compositions were improvised by the Ensemble around a score by sound-artist Duane Pitre. Sonically placed somewhere between the minimalism of composer La Monte Young and the epic drone-scape ambience of Stars of The Lid, this is deep slowly-shifting mood music, or a monotone symphony.
"This is the sort of album that will be on my turntable for days to come, and whose sleeve will never leave the side of my speakers for months. Beautiful, stark, highly effective, and austerely compelling, “Organized Pitches Occurring In Time” is a genuinely brilliant release. 10/10" - Foxy Digitalis
Trome number 2 is the debut album from Small Town Boredom, 'Autumn Might Have Hope'. Just over 50 minutes of melancholic hushed lo-fi songs interspersed with grainy home-recorded experiments and room sounds/field recordings. Drawing comparison with the fragile introspection of Hood and Boduf Songs, this is a soundtrack to hope and hopelessness, and the emptiness in between
""Almost whispered vocals sparsely accompanied by guitar, piano, harmonium, slow Low-esque drums and violin - these are miniature hymns to melancholy. Fragments of dictaphone recorded songs and field recordings intersperse throughout. Lovely." - Boa Melody Bar
Trome hopes to release further horizon-reaching soundscapes and intimate lo-fi recordings in the near future. Thanks for reading.
