Antonymes – 31: Before The Light Fails

It only seems like yesterday that we announced the incredible ‘Beauty Becomes The Enemy Of The Future’ from UK sound artist Antonymes…

Ian is back with a new project that promises to be just as good, if not better than ‘Beauty Becomes’ and is a further demonstration of the artists ability to create stunning compositions that once again come delivered in sumptuous packaging along with a bespoke photographic collection.
