**LIMINA’s “Dissolved” Single Artwork**

**MARCH 12, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA)** — The sonic landscape in “[**Dissolved**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=93ce6631f5&e=615f2b8493)“****
describes the journey that is moving through feelings of doubt. “There’s a balance
of unease and determination woven into the track. In the middle of the piece, the
music drops out almost entirely as if doubt has won, but ultimately, the theme of
determination emerges more boldly than before,” says Los Angeles-based composer **
Tyler Durham** about the second track from his upcoming debut album under the **
LIMINA **moniker (_**Coming Home**_ out **April 23, 2024** _via_ **Sonic Ritual**).

From granular piano plucks to bowed guitar pads to distorted and repitched drums,
he creates a sonic environment “Dissolved” that serves as a great playground for
sound design experimentation and texture.

Following the release of the first single “[**Sanctum**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=7738373fe8&e=615f2b8493)”****(
a composition about self-reflection and unearthing a place in oneself where we can
be consoled, seen, and restored), “Dissolved” features eerie, bent notes that sway
across the measures, a skittery snare rhythm, rolling bass kicks and the occasional
cavernous stomp. 

Heard at proper volume, “Dissolved” is a captivating and immersive experience. Infiltrating
the subconscious, the song seeps in subliminally, like a power outage during a heat
wave, casting all other concerns aside, forcing you to lean in and marinate in Limina’s
textural backdrop.

Durham’s upcoming debut solo album, _Coming Home_, was recorded at AIR studios (
Lyndhurst Hall in London, UK) with members from **The Philharmonia Orchestra**. 
Playing on Durham’s unique storytelling ability as a film composer, the album’s 
inspiration was brought out after spending time in transit on the London Tube.

Observant and quietly taking mental notes, he says of his watchful gaze, “you get
the faintest glimpse of their experience through a laugh, a clenched fist, or just
silent contemplation.” As he internalized the hums and rhythms of trains rolling
from station to station, he watched riders in the midst of their daily routines 
and wondered what they might be silently awaiting, or confronting.

The result of these travels is the breathtaking, dynamic Coming Home, which presents
what Durham describes as “a story of someone estranged from their family but wanting
to make amends, and what that emotional journey would look like.”

The composer’s palette – featuring neoclassical elements and atmospheric electronics
akin to the work of Sigur Rós and layers of delicately arranged textures that suggest
another Icelandic icon, the late Jóhann Jóhannsson – blossomed within AIR’s famed
Lyndhurst Hall. Tones ranging from piano plucks, synth dots and bowed guitar pads
to pipe organ and distorted, gated and repitched drums activated the sacred space.
Some other patterns arrived as found sounds – tube cars, falling rocks and church
bells, for example. Others washed in via VSS-30, Cycle and Serum synth tones.

As a creator who thrives in cross-disciplinary collaborations, the concept of LIMINA
first emerged for Durham in 2020 with his debut EP _Hidden Spaces_ as a way for 
him to channel his mesmerizing skills as a synth programmer for film, games, and
television in favor of something more personal. Obsessed with scoring for film since
he first began to appreciate music, Durham has devoted his creative life to the 
discipline.

He has worked with Academy Award-nominated composer **James Newton Howard** on films
such as _News of the World,_ _Jungle Cruise_, _Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald_,
and Terrence Malick’s _A Hidden Life_. He also writes additional music for the hit
Netflix series_ Outer Banks_ and _Biohackers_ and frequently collaborates with celebrated
composer **Pinar Toprak** on projects such as _The Lost City_, _Slumberland_, and
an upcoming Netflix docuseries. He has also worked with Toprak on music for Disney
World’s EPCOT theme park.
