Luminance Ratio

Luminance Ratio is an Italian group that plays psychedelic drone music. It started as a trio of Eugenio Maggi, Gianmaria Aprile and Andrea Ferraris, and its sound has changed from record to record. Its pieces combine guitars, objects, electronics and field recordings. Luminance Ratio debuted with Like Little Garrisons Besieged (2009), its title taken from Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. A series of three 7-inch records on Fratto9 and Kinky Gabber paired the group with steve roden, Oren Ambarchi and Yannis Kyriakides.
