PART 3 (2008-2023)

by IVAN NAHEM

This collection begins with a song written in Ireland and recorded into Garageband. There was a period when I concentrated on other projects, then Gregg Bielski asked me to add spoken word to his soundscapes, and that resulted in The Kiss. Next was the re-formation of Ritual Tension, recording and releasing It’s Just the Apocalypse, It’s Not the End right before the pandemic hit. Next, Crawling Through Grass, released in 2022, mainly instrumental tracks in a strange hybrid yoga-adjacent postpunk mélange. Finally a song which might have gone on Crawling but required vocals, and I didn’t want distracting vocals on that album, but more or less where I find myself now.
