The Stalactites

Landscapes of Infinite Melancholy

About Me

Since 2007, Ephemeral Hope (guitars) and hR (guitars and keyboard) have recorded improvised sessions in different places such as a house near the northeast coast of England during the winter of 2007 or a studio in Paris in the summer of 2008. They are sometimes joined by Sophie Hebbelynck who plays the violin. Every single track is complete improvisation.
