Living Ornaments

Living Ornaments is the project of Narrominded founders Lars Meyer and Coen Polack. After some releases, created together and apart, in the international lo-fi scene, Coen and Lars stated to focus more and more on the possibilities that electronics provide in music. Since 2001 they work together under the guise of Living Ornaments. The first result of this collaboration can be heard on 'We're Running out of West'-compilation on Narrominded. Until this day the sound of Living Ornaments is developing into increasingly abstract territories. Microclicks collide with waves of static hiss, but acoustic instruments like guitar and piano always provide a solid base for their music. Layers of fragmented guitar shift over electronically manipulated piano. Living Ornaments like to use tasty but obscure Dutch words as their tracktitles.
