Is Oni Ayhun who I think he is?

Catholic was a sort of avant/disco/rock collab between Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras; Stefan Goldmann and Finn Johannssen's Macro label just released it, plus a couple of EPs with remixes from the likes of Morgan Geist, Kink, etc.

OAR004 is out
4-A is a tough listen
4-B is better, nice drum sounds, but still some high-pitched bullshit that makes me wanna cover my ears.
i could see mixing B into something from Achso

This stuff always makes me think of Leo Anibaldi's "Void" record on Rephlex.

OAR004 side B being a perfect example.

I am definitely loving 4-B here. Weird Panasonic-y plastic high-pitchness.

so has it actually been "officially" confirmed that this is olof dreijer? i assumed it was, partly because of numerous live performances that have been reported as confirming it. certainly oni ayhun himself is v visible in youtube clips (though that "gotcha!" moment was scuppered by not being 100% sure what olof looks like). anyway olof's pr categorically denied it to me, fwiw.

i havent heard anything official but both 'tomorrow in a year' and the oni ayhun records are released under creative commons, which seems unlikely to be a coincidence with music of this caliber

he's playing in london this friday. i'll shout OLOF and see if he looks up.

lol'd

just saw that he posted two new trax: http://www.oniayhun.com/OARFREE.html

pretty sure its him

don't think anyone else involved

btw those free tracks are way wild flanged noise jams, dissonant and crunched out stuff that sounds like oldschool industrial noise (maybe Brume or Arcane Device), it's very brave and "out" stuff for sure

waste of 20 minutes

i enjoyed his show a lot but yeah it was pretty uncompromising stuff. a lot of the audience drifted off, i guess it became obvious it wasn't gonna start sounding like the knife any time soon. he dropped oar003-b at the end and it was hilarious how smooth it sounded compared to everything else he'd played.

Nablus sounds kinda like The Haters.

OAR005 PLEASE

yes please

banger

Love this so much, is it too much to dream of a full-length?

Maybe not. When he announced it he said "I've been making music again" not "I mad a track"

there's his recent full-length with Mount Sims "Souvenir" where they explore the sociopolitical ramifications of using steel drum sounds in Western music (!) it's very good but it's not exactly a series of bangers
