ODG229: Alinovsky - OdNu / Showtime Reworks

The fabulous Argentinian/American musicians OdNu (see OUC021 and ODG125) added so many different ideas and instruments that his renderings of his chosen tracks from 'Showtime' are probably what contributes to make them so different again rom the original album.

An approach which will make you listening back to those tracks with new ears. 

Enjoy!

ODG225: Alinovsky / Showtime - Originals

Alinovsky says:

'Tracks 2 to 12 were recorded in December 2023 and January 2024 and were parts of some music I emailed to Nick Calligeros for the 'Collaterals' album (released March 25) but that he didn't pick and some I kept for myself to eventually finish one day.

Track 14 appears a bit differently on the album 'Hypnotic' I did with Tetsuroh Konishi.

Listening back to those unfinished tracks in April I had the idea to email them to a bunch of musicians on the Off label that I run, thinking  they might like some of those and contribute with added stems or pure remixes.

Which they did for my pleasure and I hope for yours.

Here you will find the original tracks as they were when I emailed them + 2 new ones (1 and 13) that I made in May 25 to open and finish the album.

Enjoy!"

Track 2 'Downtime' use a Lark Wool remix stem from a track never released that I reworked again.

This will come in 5 parts all mastered by Pierre Vervloesem:

1: Originals
2: Remixes
3: Brass
4: Vs Yuichi Onoue
5: Vs OdNu
And 6: a complete suite album by Akira Film Script mastered by Tate Mc Neil

OUI055 : MOTMOT / River

Cover art by Silvia Marazzi

OUI055: MOTMOT / River

River is the first single out of the forthcoming album from MOTMOT, a project of singer Chiara Bacci, where composition intertwines with improvisation and sonic exploration alongside saxophonist Adia Vanheerentals, pianist Simon Groppe, and drummer Gaspard Sicx. The lyrics speak through images, short stories, and fragments, while the music creates calm atmospheres that are sometimes abruptly interrupted. The structures unfold horizontally and, when they return, they reappear in a new form.

Chiara Bacci is an Italian singer and composer based in Brussels since 2020. Her way of using the voice combined with electronics plays a fundamental role in her practice as it allows her to develop an idea of vocality which is no longer necessarily anchored to its traditional function, as she passes nimbly from being a storyteller to a source of abstract sounds.

Chiara Bacci: singing, composition
Adia Vanheerentals: saxophone

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Dries Van Ende in Zinnema, Brussels, July 2024

ODG224: The Sad Bandits / Sayonara Onijiji

Since their second album (see also ODG167, ODG191 and ODG194), The Sad Bandits started to have a big following in Japan and a fan club from Hiroshima invited them to perform in their live place and stay for 2 weeks in the city.

The Ribero brothers being huge Japanese enka music and old Ozu movies fans were excited at the idea to visit Japan and try to record their new album.

They made the foundation of 10 new tracks mixing enka, dialogues and street noise.

Back in their native Mexico they asked again Alinovsky and John Americus Witt to help them finishing, adding music and mixing the album.

The title of the album 'Onijiji' is an hommage to Onibaba (鬼婆), a Japanese movie from Kaneto Shindō, released in 1964.
