OGOGO + Linden

<< Back |
This album is created by a musician called OGOGO, also known as Igor OGOGO. The Linden connection to the album comes from Ron Linden, who’s a painter, and this is where Igor has his tracks based on. Nice is that those paintings are also in the booklet, so you can listen to the song and see where the inspiration came from.
Musically the album is all over the place. From more jazzy improvisations to some rock tunes, and abstract beats/breakcore approaches to experimental sound structures. For a lot of the tracks it’s a pretty noisy affair.
The first track, ‘Eye Spring’, is a kind of improvisational jazzy rock. The second track, ‘Flygel’ continues with these jazzy sounds and fuses it with some beats and background noise. With the third track, ‘Pidgin’, we get a combination of break-beats, guitars, organ sounds and industrial elements. The fourth track, ‘Obdura’, uses a lot of beats and mixes it with speedup vocal samples and samples of birds. An interesting track is track 9, ‘Murdrus Dueluct’, which starts with a funny melody and beats and later fuses it with drum ‘n bass sequences. Near the end the melody get pretty weird and gets more break-beats. It’s a kind of alternative drum ‘n bass song. The track hereafter, ‘Shem the Penman’, is a really weird and fucked-up jazz track with a lot of hard beats. This should fit nicely in Lynch’s ‘Lost Highway’. The twelfth track, ‘Ussur’, is also interesting in its use of some distorted vocoder sounds.
This album is a pretty weird experience, but it’s also interesting because of its inspirational material from Linden. Sometimes the tracks sound like the paintings were run through some software which creates sounds of the colors, especially in the more abstract segments. An interesting album, especially if you’re into the work of this painter.
