The Penumbra Incident is an eclectic electronic music project from Los Angeles, CA, USA that transcends boundaries, blending experimental sounds with deeply human themes.
Blurring genres with hypnotic grooves and ghostlike textures, our shadow drenched electronic music—part dream, part pulse—aims for that sweet spot between underground grit and haunted beauty.
In 1993, Jason, the composer and producer behind the Penumbra Incident, discovered a tape on the used rack at the local music store.
The title of one of the tracks, "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares", intrigued him so much he had to buy it. That album, Phaedra by Tangerine Dream, kindled a love for electronic music that has lasted over 30 years.
