about

yPLO - ob TRU

Perhaps a drum is a space wrapped in material.
With some excitement the space and the material interact to produce
vibrations, which we hear. Separately, yPLO prepared some sounds in
advance of a performance based on the components of a speculative
drum kit

ob TRU was performed and recorded live on 6/8/18 at Cafe OTO.
During this live performance yPLO used amplified mylar, floor tom
bass drum, mixers, audio recordings and microphones.
The recordings were mixed and edited into 8 discrete tracks.

Giant Beauty
by أحمد [Ahmed]

supported by 7 fans who also own “ob TRU”

Despite the length and variety offered by this release, a few general techniques or patterns are present throughout. Most notable is the interaction between Thomas and Wright, with the former playing in his signature dense and percussive style while the latter provides bursts of gritty notes on the alto. Wright’s wailing is an unconventional counterpoint to Thomas’s classicism. https://avantmusicnews.com/2024/04/06/amn-reviews-%d8%a3%d8%ad%d9%85%d8%af-ahmed-giant-beauty-2024-bandcamp/ Michael Borella
