T.U.M.S.A. has been played on NTS shows including OnoTesla, with Instrument Of Cacophony first played on 25 November 2017.

The band emerged back in 1986 from creative commune of the home-based concerts in the Riga outskirts.

Project style: minimal/synth & dark wave

Influences : electronic music (mostly new wave), magnetic tape recording experiments; old Latvian poets; roaming in the gardens and parks, yards and railway nearby; Soviet and non-Soviet synthesizers; underground festivals in 80's; collective music playing and dreaming sessions beyond time; motion picture camera; garden synthpop festivals and moonshine apparatus; VHS and a lot of horror movies…

All the recording sessions remained for the band’s inner use only. Nothing was ever released, and if multiplied – in some copies only, music for the sake of music. True underground.

Years active: 1986 - 1993
