🌙🌙Visualizer for "Signal", the second single by Persian-American producer Saumon Oboudiyat aka sohme. 🌙🌙

sohme's @phantomlimb.bsky.social Spirituals imprint debut "Palm" carries Eno & Lanois-esque melodic detail, slo-mo chordal shifts, and drifting, dreamlike field recordings.

My friend @zubinhensler contributed to a conversation with @lizpelly that frankly, everyone who listens to music (i.e. everyone) should take in. @spotify is exploitative & harmful on many fronts. To artists, to listeners, our culture as a humanity. Tl;dr, cancel your sub. youtu.be/I8zBkQFDpsg?...
