Lowered is the project of British musician Chris Gowers (Karina ESP, Rome Pays Off, Signals). We shared his debut album Lost Seas that featured Katie English (Isnaj Dui, The Owl Service). Arche (For Gongs) is the new album out now on Trome Records. Mastered by Fraser McGowan.
The follow-up ‘Arche’ triptych sees a further distillation of Lowered’s ascetic sonic palette by presenting 30 minute drone studies of single instruments. The first installment, ‘Arche (For Gongs)’, was created from recordings of a 32″ tam-tam with the percussive sounds absent, thereby stripping away any performance element of the piece, to form a dense arrangement of decaying tones.
