Amethystium - Transience (2014)

Amethystium is a musical project founded around 1998. Hard to pigeon-hole as belonging in one specific category, the music can be described as a blend of new age, darkwave, ethno-ambient and electronica. Sonicly it ranges from dreamy and relaxing, to relatively upbeat, all with an evoking, atmospheric, and sometimes dark and moody soundscape.

Composed, produced and performed by Oystein Ramfjord.
