DJ Klock R.I.P. My good friend and colleague. I will miss you!!
//About Bichi:
//Bichi was founded a few years back by Danish producer Tobias Wilner.
You can call his music indie / folktronia, shoegaze, electronica or just Bichi.
Bichi is focusing atmospheric sounds, digital beat manipulation, nice melodies.
Bichi has released an album “Notwithstanding” on Opiate aka Thomas Knaks label
Hobby Industries in 2005. The vocal on the album comes courtesy of Sara Savery
(People Press Play). Bichi has toured Japan 4 times, played in Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, UK.
Bichi has produced music for movies like "Twilight", "Miami Vice", "Manslaughter",
"the OC Show", done several albums for the band Blue Foundation, worked with
DJ Krush on the track "Decks-Athron" from"Jaku", released music with DJ Klock,
worked with Numb, Mew....etc.
Bichi is the producer and main source of Blue Foundation.
He started Blue Foundation back in 1999 with his brother Anders Mannov (No More Heroes)
and Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg (Stern).
These days Tobias Wilner is working on an album with his new project Tape Quartet. He expect to finish his new Bichi album in 2009 early 2010.
He also finished a cooperation with Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon)
for Blue Foundation.
His album "Notwithstanding" 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 - 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:
Mark Kozelek
Cokiyo
Numb
