β€œNicholas Remondino’s project LAMIEE. presents his latest album, 𝑳𝑼𝑴, for enmossed. Over the course of 10 electroacoustic excursions, iterative implementations of mechanistic rattling and vibrating expand the utility of the percussive surface of a snare drum. As overtones and harmonics swell in reverberation, Remondino carves an almost ecclesiastical sonic environment built on motors, one prepared snare drum, vocal samples, and feedback.
Inverting the didacticism of battery percussion as a musical tool, Remondino's stretched drum head takes on a metallic resonance in consistently modulated flux. 𝑳𝑼𝑴 at times envelopes the listener into cavernous subterraneity, and at others articulates itself in muted golden candle light piercing through dense incense smoke. A psychedelically pious album, the dulled weight of stained glass windows pours through into the listening experience as frankincense and myrrh waft through the nostrils and transcendence moves in multi-plane directionality. 𝑳𝑼𝑴 sits as another chapter in enmossed’s advanced catalog of finely curated sonic meditations.”

LAMIEE. is a project by Nicholas Remondino. It debuted in 2021 with the release of 𝑭𝑰𝑺𝑰π‘ͺ𝑨 and 𝑢𝑳𝑻𝑹𝑨 𝑳𝑨𝑴𝑬𝑡𝑻, both born out of a concept inspired by the Italian Piedmontese tradition of masche. Published by US-based labels (Dinzu Artefacts and Never Anything Records), they were the first two chapters of a framework that was completed with the release of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 π’…π’†π’‚π’‡π’†π’π’Šπ’π’ˆ π’Žπ’π’Žπ’†π’π’• 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π’˜π’‰π’Šπ’”π’•π’π’† 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 π’π’π’Šπ’”π’†, published by the Portuguese label Shhpuma in June 2022, which was recorded with the valuable contributions of the DrΓ²lo Ensemble.
After the first three albums, the project continues to explore new forms. A slew of additional recordings have been released on labels such as Audio.Visual.Atmosphere (Belgium), Jungle Gym Records (US), and Breton Cassette (Norway). Remondino also regularly collaborates with other artists for live performances across Italy and Europe.
