Music Making Guy: Oren Ambarchi

[Jodi S.]

Also he doesn't drone on Shabbat.

Shomer fuckin' shabbos.

[rappard]

Not crap. All his solo works are brilliant, and all of his collaborations (except for this unfortunate choice ) are great too - especially the 4G double disc and Sunn0)))'s Black One.

Love!

Not Crap. In the arrison house, Grapes from the Estate freaks out the kitties though. Reminds us a hearing test with swing.

I'm curious if he records to tape. There are some seriously analog sounding tones on this recording.

The new LP with Jim O'Rourke, Indeed, is really great.

I know Oren frequents Big Jesus Burger Studios in Australia, and I believe they're a tape-only studio. Not for sure on that though.


Goddamn, I need that record In a Flash Everything Comes Together As One. The second I can find a new job, I'm going to just go ape shit and pick up everything I can with Ambarchi's name attached to it.

Is there anywhere I can get a taste of Indeed on this beautiful thing we call the internet?

I need to hear just a song or two to hold me off for a bit.

Edit: Nevermind, I just saw Mama Clortho's link up there.

I read some of the posts on this thread, thinking "I gotta hear this guy - he sounds the shit" and was well disappointed. Crap. I don't want to go overboard, just dull

Live or on record? I saw him play with Keith Rowe about a year back it it was beyond dull. Previously he has been excellent. Go figure.

Those Haino/O'Rourke/Ambarchi albums didn't do it for me at all. They have their moments I guess. There are previews of them all on soundcloud or somewhere. (edit: hear 'em @ experimedia on soundcloud)


Not a fan of his complete discography (nor have I heard it all), but NC all the same.

funny, I saw him with Keith Rowe too like 8 years ago and it was pretty boring. Evan Parker was even worse that night.

[madmanmunt]

Keith Rowe didn't even play "prepared guitar"'! All he had was a box with a broken radio in it!

Also, Ambarchi was wearing some kind of rubber coated Levi's.

[LBx]

I think it was an empty box...

[Angus Jung]

He's NC for his music, and he's NC for somehow hearing about and ordering a copy of my solo LP directly from me last summer. Wrote me a nice e-mail too. Salut.

NC.

This show was great. Oren's set was pleasantly harsher than I was expecting. Rubber-coated Levi's in effect!

[Suk]

I usually find myself either playing something with this guy's name or Eliane Radigue when I want music that's "not distracting." Afternoon Tea's great. NC

From our conversation at the Portland show last night --

Me: Dude how did you even find out about my record?
OA: I am a nerd.

Why? Splitting "Knots" over two sides is dumb.
