“A careful balance of soft harmonics, Eno & Lanois-esque melodic detail, slo-mo chordal shifts, and drifting, dreamlike field recordings”
Artist Bio:
sohme production is the sound-based practice of producer, performing artist and architectural designer Saumon Oboudiyat. Based in Philadelphia, PA - sohme’s work is informed by nearly a decade of work as an architectural designer and a lifetime of musicianship - integrating analog & digital synthesis, acoustic instrument performance, and field recording - into experimental, textured, cinematic, and immersive compositions.
His debut album Palm (out now in digital album & vinyl formats via Phantom Limb Spirituals imprint) reflects on new fatherhood, cultural duality, and shifting stages of life through a delicate synthesis of acoustic instrumentation, electronic textures, and environmental sound.
Official Releases: Listen to Palm (album) & The Wound Where The Light Enters (film score) below.
Also available on streaming DSP’s (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.)
