Zomes

Zomes is the solo project of Asa Osborne, a Baltimore-based musician best known as the guitarist for the iconic post-hardcore band Lungfish. After Lungfish went on hiatus in the mid-2000s, Osborne shifted gears to explore minimalist, meditative soundscapes under the Zomes moniker. His music blends looping analog synth patterns, hypnotic rhythms, and warm drones, creating a trance-inducing mix of psychedelic ambient and DIY charm. Often recorded spontaneously with vintage gear, Zomes’ releases like *Earth Grid* and *Time Was* feel both raw and celestial, reflecting Osborne’s knack for turning simplicity into something deeply absorbing. Live performances are famously improvisational, leaning into his love for unpredictable, in-the-moment creation. With a discography that feels like a cozy yet otherworldly headphone journey, Zomes remains a low-key cult favorite for fans of cerebral, textural experimentation.
