about

This period resulted in moving to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane in early 1995 and splitting from my first wife and re-partnering with a new lady in my beach house at Peregian Beach. I'd "dropped out" and spent a lot of time barefoot and topless at the beach, surfing and enjoying myself !

This led me to a vibrant and creative musical period and a lot of time to create...and a bloody good suntan !
After what had seemed an eternity of making my little bits of music (1978-97) see johnnymonyman1.bandcamp.com I believed I had gained enough confidence to formulate my first proper ALBUM.
It was at this time that I realised that I had two or three different streams of musical output. It was just a matter of sorting these styles into appropriate albums.
So, I did two albums at the same time SERAMIDE Lotushead and the first SHAMASI album, Into The Popol Vuh,(https://shamasi.bandcamp.com/) the latter being my first "ambient" album and the album you are reading about now a mix of styles but mainly with a tribal, reggae sort of feel.
This album would be musically helped by adding "the 17 year old kid next door" Maly Hooke who played great guitar on a couple of tracks and my old friend Simon "Slimer" Murray playing a beautiful one take solo on KALIM.
This was also the first time that my music was mastered by a pro mastering guy, Mal Jacobsen at Grevillea Mastering, Brisbane.
I didnt have any money at this time but gave him a Korg Trident Mark 1 and another nice synth ( I cant remember now !) for services rendered..looking back now, that was an expensive mastering session.. especially as I remastered them myself a year later once I had the technology at home !
This was also at the zenith of my analog synth collecting...but I didnt use most of them (except the ones listed) as everything in this period was still based around my Akai samplers.
This was released in 1998 and there is a review in the extras.
I hope you enjoy listening to this period of my musical output !
Cheers
John NYMO Nyman
(PS There is a bonus track that is very weird !)

NYMo Various Sunshine Coast, Australia

After nearly 20 years of making his little pieces of music (see johnnymonyman1.bandcamp.com), in 1997 John NYMO Nyman decided he was at the level to release albums ..these are a record of what transpired.
The music travels from ambient washes through tribal grooves , nu jazz and ends in hardcore techno, but still with his sense of individuality stamped all over it ! ... more
