Jon Porras

Jon Porras is an ambient/drone musician. He is a member of Barn Owl and records as Elm. His first solo album, "Undercurrent", released in 2011, is set to the tidal rhythms of the Pacific and tuned into the metabolic pathways of the northwest coast. Porras scripts a love poem to the mist, a prayer cast in ghostly reflected guitar and deep pools of distortion. The ominous opening of 'Gray Dunes' is a dense and impenetrable murk, a fear that eventually succumbs to distortion but then gives way to a endless open space of delay in its second half.
