The Hem of His Garment

The Hem of His Garment is a loosely-defined heavy-drone collective functioning in Chapel Hill and the greater Triangle area of North Carolina. The Hem has continued to expand in flux, performing in ensembles ranging from three to as many as fourteen contributing musicians. The Hem's compositions most often involve some direct manipulation of phase (or frequency) cancellation, which at high volumes creates phantom-like, unharnessed rhythmic effects. Ideally, listeners will be able to react physically to the sound waves: to this end, The Hem usually employs slowly modulating bass and sub-bass tones which can be felt as well as heard.
