Four tracks, clocking in under six minutes.
For it is known that music spilled on the ground displeases the lord.
FOUR SIDES is a self realization for woodwind, electric piano and percussion.
Deep and anxious consideration for one's soul on a rainy day.

Same

Coin

This EP is an adventure, traveling to the inner depths of the Jazz-Noise universe. Walking the fine lines  and sacred grounds between the two genres, with a heavy bag filled with influences by the greats.
The goal in mind for this EP was to try and fuse two genres, using their commonalities and some spicy magic.
These tracks utilize all the tools of the trade. It's the electronic, the acoustic, instrumental, harsh, experimental, improvisational, the intense, cerebral and carnal, to produce this deliciously interesting palette.

Earlier variations of the tracks in this EP appeared in compilations in 2022-2023, but were revisited, re-edited, and partially re-recorded for this joyous of occasions.

JAZZ DADDY #2.5

Extreme Jazz Daddy

This is the album that no one asked for but everyone needed in their lives: "Put Your Hand in Mine and Call Me Missy" by ohrr＋gaop.
It's dungeon IDM, glitchy beats, rhythmic noise, bleeping ambient, hissing synthesizers. Your parents are going to love it.

ohrr + gaop - Get Mothed

gaop - Motherzone Ban

gaop - Red Pop Up

ohrr + gaop - Not Live With gaop

ohrr + gaop - Zeeki and Pooki Return

gaop - Police Twin

gaop - Single Digit Between Seven and Infinity

ohrr＋gaop - Peeky and Zeggy Go

gaop - Flack Bash

Sit down, relax, shut your eyes and imagine that there's a space in your head where electronic ambient music could coexist with a clarinet. Keep thinking about that for a while.
Now stop. This four track EP explores that space, and the expedition has yielded some wonderful results. 

Intro Duction

Testing

Nesting

Touching Endgame

HARDLY WORKIN while your mind does all the work. These are the tracks that the brain plays while beeping and bleeping. Drug infused relaxation music. All the senses are in overload yet HARDLY WORKIN.


Bekoshi

Workin on it

A four track EP, originally released in early 2007.
Dark free jazz, dark ambient, bad vibes, this is an attempt to turn nightmares into sounds.

Voice

Teeth

Blood

A super delightful collaborative project between gaop the beloved artist NishMa.

The first thee tracks (by NishMa) are wonderful cinematic soundscapes that conjure vast futuristic dystopias, filled with rusted flying cars.

The last three tracks (by gaop) are conceptual attempts at deconstructing traditional IDM music, using the tools of the trade and an electric piano.

The track "Marcel will return", sandwiched in-between, is a joint effort by both artists.

gaop & NishMa  - Marcel will return

gaop - Does not share

NishMa - Staring at the moon

Taken from the album "You Will Know Them by Their Fruits"
by NishMa, Haggari Nakashe & gaop.

A somewhat pessimistic exploration of drone, dark jazz, ambient and doom. Woodwinds and drums, electric pianos and synths, bass and some bells thrown in for good luck.
This is what the devil warned you about.
Summoned by the collaborative forces of NishMa, Haggari Nakashe & gaop.

TIMES OF BROTH

"THE HIDDEN HAND" is a dense and unsettling exploration of sound. It blends the improvisational spirit and harmonic language of jazz with the abrasive textures and unpredictable structures of noise music. Don't expect moments of fractured saxophone or other jazz instrumentation because they're buried deep within and are battling against layers of static, feedback, and electronic distortion. The track creates a claustrophobic and intense atmosphere, where familiar jazz elements are deconstructed and contorted by a raw, soft but often overwhelming sonic assault. It's a challenging listen that sits at the intersection of avant-garde jazz and noise, rewarding those seeking a truly unconventional and confrontational sonic experience. Although rooted deeply in doom music and drone metal, this track might not be for listeners that prefer traditional notions of these genres.

THE HIDDEN HAND

An experimental musician and sound artist blending noise, jazz, electronics and avant-garde improvisation. 

Usually: exploring and pushing the boundaries of sonic textures and dissonance. Sculpting soundscapes that challenge conventional notions of melody and harmony. 

Sometimes: a member of noise rock, drone, doom and powerviolence groups.
