The Rubbery

The sound of PLOM consists of subtle rhythmic aberrations, melodies of precise structures that coexist in an unforeseen magma. Lead holds together each of the small fragments of stained glass, forming a fractal beauty taken to the limit that, suddenly, like the blow from a stone, breaks into a thousand pieces to be rebuilt again in unexpected ways.
