Ohrwert is one of my many alter-egos and is used exclusively for my dub excursions. These excursions consist of live recorded sessions using analog and digital hardware and a very small amount of software. The main goal of my music is to let the listener dive into endless chord patterns, vivid harmonic textures and constantly shifting timbres, and still providing music to dance to..

I've launched an audioblog called 'Reduct' to share my latest excursions in dub, compressed to 192 kbps MP3 files. The blog is located here.
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
Incredible release on Cism... The dub techno cut is a classic of yours but Floating Shores, my god ! One of the truly best ambient tracks of the year, when I first heard it dozens of beautiful ambient tracks from the 90s came washing back to my memory, and by the end I was transported to an unknown land far away... I'd love to hear an album with only soundscapes like this from you, that'd be just awesome !!
i've just downloaded your new tracks on cism and let me tell you that this new one is just amazing!!! "floating shores" is an excellent ambient track and "transition sphere" is just one of the best dub-techno track i've ever heard! congratulations mate!
