Brennan Fowler What's not to love? This record is thoughtful and nostalgic in so many ways.

Odile A. O. Strik / Evening of Light thumbnail

Odile A. O. Strik / Evening of Light From Constellation Tatsu's summer batch. Fuzzy synths, nostalgic feels.

As the title suggests: each track highlights the textures of a particular synth instrument through improvised and possibly aleatory structures. Favorite track: Astro Pong.

about

OCA is a collaborative project by producer and musician Yo van Lenz (Through My Speakers, Monkeytown Records) and artist Florian T M Zeisig (Important Records/Cassauna, No Disk)

At the intersection of music being presented in a certain framework, questions regarding musical quality, intentionality, virtuosity and purpose arise. The work ‘Preset Music’ engages with questions regarding compositional intentions. Notes, chords – and often times improvised snippets of music – are exclusively serving the purpose of showcasing the instrument itself.

‘Preset Music’ aims to display the juxtaposition of intentionality and non-intentionality in music and composition. With the gesture of intentionally sampling and composing, using non- intentional musical material – in the sense of purposive presentation regarding the instrument – the seven compositions stand in direct contrast to the. presenters’ original intentions.
