Dodecahedron

drums chop and stutter, sounds weave like snakes through a deep sea of musical coral, waves of vocals crash in from afar...or something.

LUG is a solo project from Australian sound artist & percussionist Simon Ayton
Band/artist history
"radar contact lost.." The last words uttered from 'one solar day'. The title track for the album documents the actual conversation between the airport communications tower and doomed, out of fuel flight 52 in it's final stages... LUG is a solo project from Australian Simon Ayton................. ................. ................. The album One Solar Day presents sounds and performances recorded during travels throughout the world including singing children in Vietnamese hill tribes to melodically tuned waves in Guatemala. Rhythmic roots together with extensive ventures into film music and sound design greatly influence the sound and mood of the music. Twisted drum and percussion loops played live, duck and weave their way through layers of dark and majestic atmosphere giving the music a filmic quality that ebbs and flows between pure aggression and utter tranquility with an attention to detail that rewards repeat listeners with seemingly endless new discoveries ................. ................. ................. Many of the melodic sounds throughout One Solar Day are in fact percussion instruments like bells, sticks and water bottles stretched and warped using Simon's own custom plug-ins designed for the Creamware Scope system...
