solemnland There are times when it feels unsafe to enter the musical waters but that is precisely when you should. Reaching to the midpoint of the opening track I am glancing at the ceiling and sure of a settling of dust and humid air on my skin. These pieces feel less like songs than perhaps pleas or confessions of abandoned hope and yet, hope (possibly) exists in the destination, in the artists mind/soul, in the room.

about

Originally released by Past Inside the Present:
pitp.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-an-empty-room

‘Songs of an Empty Room’ is the second solo album from Iranian sound artist Maryam Sirvan, also one half of the electronic duo NUM.

'Songs of An Empty Room' is a static inner journey into infinity, a story of a secluded room on a dull, grey summer evening.

These works delve into the concept of detachment from the outer world and seek tranquillity in an imaginary, non-existent inner space―a craving for otherworldly existence and exploration for a personal perception beyond time and space in a hallucinating manner.

‘Songs of An Empty Room’ is an exploration through sonic territories employing limited acoustic sources: obsessively, exclusively, electric guitar and voice. It offers textural structures using digital manipulation and sampling, creating personal atmospheres and soundscapes.
