About Me

Pneuma is a channeling of light and libido that has been fermenting for the past nine years, extending the genre of ambient music, tinged with a pop sensibility, drones, and cloaked in post-punk hysterics. No personalities form this group. It is comprised of hunger, thirst, noise and slumber. Nothing else that might be of relevance is a significant factor. Nothing else that might satisfy your curiosity is of importance. And everything that you have just read has been completely meaningless..."i long to give an account of that primeval power we call sex, to which we all owe gratitude for being alive. i want to give my voice to song abroad that we are all just the same, that life is long and sweet, that youth never dies and that this life of ours is the only one we’re given… i try to pretend that gulf doesn’t exist. that time doesn’t exist, that separation doesn’t exist, that forgetting doesn’t exist—that its summer all year round, that tender love is going to accompany me to the end of my life, luring me, soothing me, stroking me…"-jan saudek
