about

This music was made by layering instrumental melodies and loops - recorded to a 4-track cassette deck and mixed live with analogue effects. The loops are out of sync, creating some elements of chaos and instability as the sounds interact within a repetitive structure.

"Immersive and chaotic, Melody for Tiamat truly embodies the ancient sea deity it’s named for. Each track is built around two or three repeating phrases of Sabet’s iridescent guitar, which are meticulously layered to submerge the listener in ethereal, ocean-deep music. Loops flow in and out like the tide, their disparate rhythms overlapping so that the layers feel less like melodies than clashing weather fronts. We are under the ocean, in a rainstorm, but Sabet’s minimalist, masterful guitar always finds us, guiding us to tranquillity among the chaos. An intriguing EP that offers more with each listen." - Sam Marshall (LeftLion)
