I'm in the process of recording some pieces of music, collectively known as Melancholia. I have that Seasonal Affective Disorder thing, though in my case it's Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn when depression takes hold of my fragile psyche. Anyhow, in Winter i find myself listening to dub reggae, Steve Reich and PIL and watching 10 hour long films on the history of air. 'Melancholia' uses all these elements as well as spoken word, odd time signatures, nursery rhymes, stoner rock...I describe it as ambient punk. It features the wonderful vocalizations of Maria Jardardottir and the saxaphones of Ian Peak.
