The duo known as Mo Boma (named subsequently a pygmy girl's lullaby), is comprised of Carsten Tiedemann, a native of Germany, and Skuli Sverrisson, of Iceland, both of whom attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. Tiedemann's studies in classical composition structures and cultural medicine traditions feature prominently in Mo Boma's mode, which uses electronic music to create a airy, multi-textured sound that builds around Sverrisson's electric bass core. Sverrisson's own see as a jazz bassist and improvisational player besides makes a major wallop on Mo Boma's sound. The salmagundi of organic and electronic instrumentation help Mo Boma acheive a depth and complextity of composition that is slightly rare in ethno-ambient music. Their debut album, Jijimuge, was issued in 1992, merely possibly the best model of their unparalleled sound is their 1996 album, Myths of the Near Future, Vol. 1, which was vaguely elysian by the workings of J.G. Ballard. It weaves percussive sections some a sedate, shimmering swirl, anchored perpetually by Sverrisson's bass. Mo Boma issued two more than volumes of the Myths of the Near Future series in the mid-'90s, each featuring similar sounds, but playing tribute to their have unique themes.
