Influencesa few favourite records...HybridSounds LikeHard to say...Just one short decade after making their last album, UK ambient pioneers O Yuki Conjugate have released a new CD called "The Euphoria of Disobedience" (TEOD) on their OYC Limited label.Less obviously ethnic than previous OYC releases, the perfumed garden of Eno's classic ambience is replaced by rough edges, noxious odours and abrasive textures.OYC have released TEOD as both an MP3 download and a numbered limited edition of 1000 in a unique digipak fronted with a hand cast resin tile.Their entire back catalogue is currently being made available as downloads from iTunes and their website.Join the mailing list and hear more samples of music at...Whether you celebrate Christmas, or Hanukkah, or Eid, or Kwanza, or Bodhi Day, or Yule, or Modranect, or Yalda, or Winter Solstice, or Dong zhi, or Saturnalia, or Karachun; we send you our Blessing for Great Joy this Season and a New Year filled with happiness and adventure.HI OYCI was listening to 8m2stereo below earlier this morning...Your music is simply fantastic....Only no sky can blind you now.Even with all that iridescent magic up there, your eye will no longer trace constellations.Mark Danielewski Your music is always there nearby for me...New webpage : www.THANK YOU FOR THE ADD!!My soul has been invaded by more than music.The Best of The UK Midlands!Greetings from Venice, me too....It's a pleasure to be here!THINK IT INFLUENCED MY "UNFOLK" APPROACH IN MANY WAYS...KEEP UP THE EXPERIMENTS!Hello lads, thanks for adding me.Is a reunion gathering session a bit like riding a bicycle after not having done for many years?Thank You for adding me!Hello O Yuki Conjugate!Love what you do so keep it up!Thank you so much for adding me to your friend .Hi Andrew, Been listening to OYC since IDW.Granted, those Prince and Madonna albums may have had more sales in 1987, but OYC has endured the test of time.Those pop CDs remained in the collective consciousness for about ten minutes, and by now have been recycled into disposable plastic eating utensils.Thank you for adding me to your profile.A, listened to The Pink And Purple World Of Dishonesty yesterday...Sincere regards from the Silent Space,:V.Plague 004Format: CDAmerican composer Nathan Siter who lives since 2000 in Tampere, Finland brings dense pockets of layered tones pile into skittering and often body quaking pulsations driving the recordings, throbbing with intensity, and then decompose in the same manner.Thank you for the interest and the invitation.This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Id + " Text: " + targetLink.Just as yourself, I'm into independent music.Please notify N D before the use of any of this material in part or in entirety.After playing their album "Into Dark Water" a
few thousand times, I decided to write and see if they
were still active, as the only material I remember
reading about them was in the magazine Interchange.The
following interview took place in the mail, during
December 1990, with Andrew Hulme of O Yuki Conjugate.D: Could you first start out by giving a history of O
Yuki Conjugate and how it started?In 1983 we moved to
Sheffield, Leeds, etc.It received enough acclaim in small corners to
encourage us further.From 1988 to 1990 we became
dispersed throughout the country, but continued to meet
occasionally.Needless
to say, it took a lot of work.CD version of "Into Dark Water".For 1991 a
more ambient work (without the emphasis on percussion)
to be completed and released within the year.D: Your third album will soon be available after a
long period, maybe you could talk about this?It involved using other
musicians which we feel helped change our sound, look at
new ideas.D: Has O Yuki Conjugate performed live?This was because we based it mostly on
played percussion (rather than backing tapes).OYK: Originally we started with a loop and built on top
of it until a piece took shape."Out Of Nothing" on "Into Dark Water"
for instance) and just get the feel for it.We've
not used taped voices as we have before, but have gone
for two singers on two of the pieces (one was adlibbed,
the other sampled and spun in).Again we feel these
added to the texture of the pieces, rather than
traditional 'singing'.In this sense, it ties
in well with the music, as abstract ideas.It is a case of
collecting imagery then slowing it down, distorting it,
etc.I've tried to do something for each
music release, but I've realised this is over ambitious,
and I now do things only when they feel right or turn up
spontaneously.D: Concerning Final Image, how difficult do you think
it is now to get your music out and distributed, than
say in years past?Many people talk of a glut of
independent music.D: Where does the group name come from?Literally, it arrived out of one of our
mouths in 1982 and stuck.We don't like it, but some
things seem destined..OYK: As above, a more ambient release for next year,
with the theme and provisional title, "Earth Science".D: Your music is at times very ambient, very rich as
well.It seems the
focus continues to be heavy dance or power stuff.OYK: I don't believe people will want all of that
forever, so it doesn't worry us.Anyway, you haven't
heard our acid mixes.OYK: Because we aren't under pressure to produce
"commerical" music or to make a living out of it, we're
able to take our time and do what we feel.We're able to
shape it how we want.DelegateListener('yuimenuitem', 'hd', 'click', YAHOO.Rating affects your music played in LAUNCHcast and Music Videos.AMGO Yuki Conjugate's dark tribal ambience features aggressive rhythms and invigorating textures, moody yet melodic, with menacing undercurrents. |
