DJ Klock R.I.P. My good friend and colleague. I will miss you!!
//This is what Opiate aka. Thomas Knak (Hobby Industries) has said about me and my album "Notwithstanding":
Bichi was founded a few years back by Danish producer, Tobias Wilner, as an outlet for his solo ideas when not being a busy part of the electronica-pop group, Blue Foundation. Having released Eps and two critically acclaimed albums via April Records and EMI and another one under construction its a wonder he actually finds the time to produce his own sounds for various dance perfomances and film work and now also a full debut album for Hobby.
With Bichi, Tobias has the full control of the output, which is more instrumental and focusing more on digital beat manipulation compared to the band sound. Tobias still invited fellow members of Blue Foundation to participate on Notwithstanding, to add various instruments such as cellos, doublebass and guitar for him to further manipulate. Vocal comes courtesy of Sara Savery.
This album is about focusing on letting the machines and plugins do the magic in collaboration with manipulated acoustic instruments. This could be what people call Indietronica, but we think its just Bichi.
With Notwitstanding Tobias has succeseded in creating a fine balanced and layered album for people like us to enjoy.
Hobby and Bichi collaborated on the release including the design concept, which resulted in unique art by local artists, Le-Fix. Le-Fix is known for the overall design and graphic works for Alis skateboards, clothing line and their artwork for Uarms. Accompaning lyrics by Blue Foundation member, Scott Martingell a.k.a MC Jabber.
//Bichi has released an album at the danish label hobby Industries in 2005:
Bichi - Notwithstanding
01. // layers of generation without number
02. // in the parallax of your gaze // vivid
03. // wait for the howl of the city
04. // whirl // a stream of comfort, to cool and surround me,
untill I lose sight of my own defeat
05. // coarse and wild as the cement of your broken city crumbles
06. // clouds are parcelled out across my vision
07. // , as you glimpsed the line of my shoulderblades
08. // counting out horizons in discrete steps
09. // balancing // I am the god of small change,
scamming my way through the future
10. // revolve in the sun // my footfalls are superfluous
//Bichi has created art with artists like:
Numb
