encomiast:
Ross Hagen: composition, production, performance
Nick Paul: synths and programming (1999 - 2003)
Samantha Balsam: vocals (2000-01)
Megan Garland: flutes, vocals
Neville Harson: anything and everything
w/ additional live and recording contributions from Toby Sinkinson, Joe Skinner,
Travis Bellet, and many others.
encomiast came into being around 1999 and has released five full-length collections on
various labels beginning w/ the self-titled excursion in 1999 (now OOP, to be
reissued on H/s), winter's end on Lens Records in 2001, and espera on H/s Recordings in 2003. 2005 has seen mers de sommeil on Mystery Sea, [laurentide] on Absolute Zero Media, a split with Sagramon on Swamp of Pus, and havens on Crucialblast. In addition, the project has been featured on a number of compilations, been
involved in film music, and performed live in a semi-consistent manner. As indicated
by the "members" section, the lineup is fairly malleable, as are the sound sources,
encompassing everything from analog synths, to field recordings, to old rock demos.
While I have been pretty much in control over the final products, encomiast would not be nearly as successful a project were it not for the contributions
of those listed at the top.
