BIOGRAPHY:
Fear Falls Burning - was launched in the winter of 2005 as an outlet for vidnaObmana’s fascination with lo-fi and post-rock music, and as a way to return to his roots in drone music, where he first began 23 years ago. By processing the sounds of his Les Paul guitars through a large and elaborately configured collection effects pedals, Fear Falls Burning produces improvisational music that is by turns meditative, rhythmic and occasionally thunderous. A typical performance begins with a simple, sustained guitar chord. This opening sound seeds the ground from which the entire piece is grown. As the looping and processing techniques are applied, the music evolves, dictating the direction of the performance. It is truly an improvisational process, but at the masterful hands of Fear Falls Burning, one that spins a new and mysterious kind of music, fully infused with a rare passion and soul. Organic variations and imperfections are spontaneously introduced, giving the performance a rich hue of unpredictability. Looped patterns of sound rise and fall, mutated by a succession of realtime treatments. This improvisational technique is the defining characteristic of Fear Falls Burning.

"From huge walls of sound to soft humming shimmery buzz, My Bloody Valentine-ish blown-out bliss to raga-like buzz, fear falls burning is a truly unique and surprisingly melodic take on doom and drone." - aQuarius recOrds

“This is surpremely blissful stuff, a journey through the lighter shades of drone with textured arrangements and layers of guitar sounds that drift in and out of soothing soundscapes and fuzzy constructs with strangely comforting results. Magnificent." Rock-A-Rolla - UK
