Composed of a blend of bubbling bass lines and live strings this elegant number calls the listener to lament. Inspired by introspection, the subtle synth lines form a complex texture that is full bodied and full of character. This tasteful number is an ideal accompaniment to solitude with a hint of hope.
Opdot certainly have a knack for creating compelling soundscapes. Laverack's classical background is evident in the weeping strings of 'No. 2 Lament'.

Opus One

Op. 1, No. 2 Lament

This complex and steely composition is the fusion of carefully selected ingredients inspired by the end of ‘The End’. It begins with a subtle journey, meandering through washes of synths laden with delay to achieve a decadent, rich yet crisp centre. The overall effect is one of an intense journey.    

“The moment when the moody, enveloping synths which open 'No. 3' give way to urgent beats is impressively done.”

Op. 1, No. 3

Dark and moody with an intense hit of four on the floor while boasting a bouquet of a violin serenade, this number has a firm tannin structure, balancing its three component parts. There is an intense spice hit and the orchestras inclusion adds an earthy richness.


"The way the duo mix the electronic and live sounds is mostly deft and confident. Witness the interplay between the John Carpenter-style synth and mournful fiddle on 'No. 5 Serenade'. It would be so easy to get this kind of thing wrong; instead it's a definite album highlight"

Recalling the warm, undulating electronica and glitchy, skittering beats of To Rococo Rot and Oval, Opdot deliver a superior electronic treat with Opus One. The work of classically trained pianist Tim Laverack and bassist Gavin Kirtley, this music is full of absorbingly complex beats and rhythms, coupled with an often superlative gift for melody.
