Organised Sound is a tribute to Karlheinz Stockhausen - the forefather of electronic music.

In his words:

Whenever we hear, sound
We are changed, we are no longer the same
And this is the more the case when we hear Organised Sound
Organised by another human being
Music

It is an illuminating message and I hope the track is an epitome of that - You are no longer the same.

Organised Sound

„Põhjala essee“ kolmanda saate külaline Claudia Lepik armastab oma käsi. Ta armastab nende abil vastata väljakutsetele ning luua midagi täiesti uut. Claudia valdkonda on keeruline nimetada, tema ampluaa jääb kuskile ehtekunsti ja moe vahelisele alale. Essees räägib ta, kuidas ükskõiksusest sai kirg, kuidas loomist saadavad kahtlused, kui oluline roll on toetaval kogukonnal ja muust kõrvu kikitama panevast.

„Põhjala essee“ toob kuulajani Kopli poolsaarel kostuva lainemüha, linnulaulu ja sinna sekka ka kreissae terava tsiuuu ja Bekkeri sadama vahet kimavate kallurite kõmina vahel asuva Põhjala tehase isiksuste galerii - kunstnikud, loojad ja südamega ettevõtjad -, kellest igaühel on vähemalt üks võimatuna näiv missioon ja mitu kraadi meeletust. 

„Põhjala essee“ taskuhäälingus mõtisklevad need end Kopli ääremaaga sidunud isiksused teemadel, mis neil parasjagu hingel. Uue aja väljakutsetest, absurdist ja imedest, isiklikust pealisülesandest, usust, lootusest ning armastusest.

Saateid saadavad helid, mis lindistatud otse tehase südamest.

Ime sünnib Põhjalas.

Põhjala heliessee #3: Claudia Lepik. Kahtlused ja looming

Põhjala essee # 9: OOPUS. Ereda leegiga siin- ja sealpool linnuteed.

Folktroonikabändi OOPUS asutajad ja liikmed Mari Meentalo ning Johannes Ahun kutsuvad meid enda ja oma bändi kasvamise rännakule. Põhjala essee 9. osas kuuleme, kuis kaasa meelitasid parmupill, sündid ja Hiiu kannel. Kuis loodi bänd, siis stuudio, harjutati pööraselt ja põleti ka läbi. Kuis festivalil Burning Man algas OOPUSE esinemine katastroofiga, aga tõusis siis Eesti rahvapärimuse toel linnutee-kõrgustesse. Publiku hullutamine ereda leegiga jätkub kodu- ja maailmalavadel.

Walkin Down The Street (live jam)

OOPUS musicians and the authors of the song "Tension Release" Mari Meentalo and Johannes Ahun are looking for the formula of good music that makes everyone dance with their own creations. They get inspiration from older Estonian folk music and electronic dance music.
The band has been operating since 2017, and 4 people from different backgrounds meet in it, who together create a characteristic and special OOPUS sound and feel: Mari Meentalo represents Estonian tradition in the band, Johannes Ahun represents electronic music, Aleksander Sprohgis represents light and visual art, and Raho Aadla represents dance art.
"Tension Release" is about finding balance in your inner world.

Listeners familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's previous album Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her "…one of the most pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of vocals on her new album EARS.  On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.

After initially composing on a Buchla analog synth, she wrote arrangements for a woodwind quintet, added vocals, and further refined the pieces with granular synthesis techniques she developed in her sound design work (she contributed sound design to Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" video, and handled sound design and original compositions for Brasilia co-written by and starring Reggie Watts).   

Kinetic arpeggios of synths pulse, often buoying her graceful vocal mantras, while woodwinds breathe and flutter, emulating the wildlife Smith observed while growing up on the West Coast (she even studied recordings of slowed down bird calls prior to composing these pieces).   Though some of her gestures echo the musical tropes used by early minimalist composers, the world she creates on EARS is uniquely hypnotic and full of life, not unlike Miyzaki's film Nausicaä, which she cites as an inspiration.

OOPUS is folk on acid!

Its three members mix Estonian traditional music with analog synths and make their custom light installations pulsate as one with music.

OOPUS loves traditional and electronic dance music. They combine Estonian bagpipes and runo songs with classic acid synths TR-09 and TB-03 that will take you from techno to acid, from 120bpm to 150bpm and beyond.

Their new album "Folk On Acid" will be released in 2022!

OOPUS is Mari Meentalo (Estonian bagpipes, vocals and looper), Johannes Ahun (analog synthesizers, live sound engineer), Aleksander Sprohgis (lights and visuals, installations).
