New Zealand often produces incredible music with a sense of individuality and  freshness, which comes straight from the woodwork. We have found yet another gem in Lumm, aka Lucian Manetto-Munro an Auckland based ambient-indietronica artist. Lumm's sounds are unlike anything else in the music industry, they are elaborate, vibrant and overall works of art. To support Lumm check out Lumm on SoundCloud or Lumm on Facebook. His music is currently free to check out and share!

We caught up with Lumm to understand just where the inspiration for his music comes from:

What are the inspirations for your tracks?

If anything inspires my music it would be the things around me; my friends, family, and general life.

I try not to be inspired by other peoples music, as I then tend to make songs that I am not happy with in the long run. It's important to stay true to yourself, and to not be sidetracked by phases or fads that generally end up being short-lived.
