Elochim
09/2003 - tantric harmonies
Second full length release by Ontayso following up their acclaimed debut 'Score of an Imaginairy Iceland' on U-cover 40. For Tantric Harmonies Ontayso created a special release of manipulated electro-acoustic music in a dark and sensitive way, inspired by the artwork of french comic artist Moebius. ('Elochim' is a planet in one of his famous strips). Again the music intends to take your mind to unknown and exciting places. It will slowly capture your thoughts and lead you in some natural trance as if you've been walking in outer space. Nothing sounds like it should, high tech manipulations take an important place while emotion is never left behind, maintaining the central elements of the Ontayso sound. Some parts were recorded in the Studio 195 in Holland, with technical leading by Patrick Delabie. All basic sounds are made by Esther Santoyo, Dave Vanderplas and Koen Lybaert. Addional guitars by Steven Lambrechts and some addional piano pieces by 15 year old talent Kaat Lybaert. Artwork made by Oleg, inspired on the music of Ontayso
