ambo is the latest album by frise lumière. Developed around prepared bass as a self-contained sonic system, the album continues an ongoing exploration of resonance, vibration and the physicality of sound. Through extended playing techniques, rhythmic structures, harmonic layers and percussive textures emerge simultaneously from a single instrument, allowing composition to unfold through listening, gesture and acoustic interaction. The term ‘ambo’ has its origins in the definition given to it by the writer Maria Gabriela Llansol, to describe two beings who, even when united, continue to maintain their singularity, growing mutually in dialogue without cancelling each other out. Released through Tapenade Records on vinyl, cassette, and CD.
