Zoharum is excited to present for the first time on CD "WORLD TRANSMISSION" - a series of rare transmissions, reduced and performed by COLUMN ONE in chronological order to document some of its phases. This work is no recording. It exists as a stepping cone while it's essential creators were at work.
Each of the five chapters is released as a separate release on a CD folded in a 6-panel ecopack.
Premiere October 21, 2022
