About the album:
———————————————————————————————-
“This is a story about a foolish mage and apprentice who are tasked with summoning beasts from alternate dimensions to wage war. Unfortunately the apprentice goes digging into his master’s research and decides to try and summon himself a girlfriend, which ends up snowballing into him causing the apocalypse. Samples are all the
beats that felt more magical and synthy that I found while plundering.”

About the artist:
———————————————————————————————-
“I started Sqvire mainly to explore new visual styles with no rules: whatever I think is cool. I have admired the barber beats movement from afar for a while, and was finally moved to start plundering lo-fi beats from discovering undersaken’s “cope for lack of meaning” series. Since starting though I’ve developed a love for many more styles of music and plan to experiment a lot sonically and visually. It’s all fueled by excitement and love for the music and art I’m discovering.”

During the days between the 19th and 24th June 2023, Christoph Ogiermann, composer, performer, painter gives a workshop at the John Cage Haus in Halberstadt, Germany, on performing ideas derived by John Cage and the I-Ching. In the group of participants, Mattia Bonafini performs also with a No-Input Mixing Board configuration in duo with Christoph, aka Crog, on the violin.
On the 25th, they decided to play together in the main Hall of the J. C. Haus:
they placed a handheld recorder and performed for themselves.
The recording was mixed and mastered by Mattia Bonafini; they decided to propose this material to attenuation circuit and Vykintas Baltakas.
The name CROMB is the mixture of ChRistophOGiermann + MattiaBonafini.
The drawings on the cover are CROG’s creations.
