On my way down the endless rabbit hole into sonic wonderland...

Omapots is an electronic music producer from Norway. He merges his science background with a deep interest in sound, and utilizes both passion and scientific principles in exploring new sound textures. Analog synthezisers and Eurorack setups play a large role in the sound design process accompanied by organic recordings, such as birds or laboratory equipments in part of the sculpting process of experimental flavours. 

The creator of Omapots is also a co-founder of Nemø, alongside the artist Dharma Das. Nemø is a cutting-edge psytrance project, blending zenonesque and progressive psytrance with innovative approaches to how the genre can evolve and be expressed.

As a collaborator with RaveLatefest [link: linktr.ee/ravelatefest], Omapots has made his mark at Oslo Bar & Scene, showcasing his dedication to expanding the realms of trance and electronic music.

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
