As Roman Ruins, Graham Hill creates songs that explore the convergence of music and architecture, weaving melody and rhythm into flowing, spacious soundscapes. Hill’s solo recording project combines live and electronic instrumentation into rich, psychedelic pop tunes that beckon the edges of the future, while staying firmly rooted in the grooves of the past.
