Composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Durham has recently released his album as Limina, titled Coming Home. The songs for the album were recorded at AIR Studios in London and inspired by the “images, sounds, and emotions” that he gathered from many rides on the city’s subway system, observing commuters. The single “Sanctum” is also out now, accompanied by a video directed by nebulae artist Teun van der Zalm.

He says:

I am addicted to storytelling, and that has always come out in my music. You get the faintest glimpse of their experience through a laugh, a clenched fist, or just silent contemplation.

Coming Home broadly tells “a story of someone estranged from their family but wanting to make amends, and what that emotional journey would look like.”

Once the theme for Coming Home was set in his mind, Durham began gathering ideas from using synths like Serum, Cycles, and his VSS-30.

He adds:

Every time I thought of a new idea, learned a new technique, or created an inspiring sound, I would throw it into an ever-growing ‘LIMINA’ folder.

After a year of on-and-off work, Durham finally arrived at the perfect musical expression of the story he wanted to tell in Coming Home.
