omit - New Zealand progressive electronic

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there!

Between "concrete music", aleatoric experimentations and analog synth compositions, OMIT (Clinton Williams) delivers  haunted, spectral electronic soundscapes. Deep "immersive" sounds that makes echoes to Klaus Schulze's first  "claustrophobic" organ works in "Irrlicht" and "Cyborg" and Cluster's electronic manipulations. A submit in dark experimental electronic!

Omit is the non-de-plume of New Zealand musician Clinton Williams. Throughout the 1980s Williams built numerous home-made electronic instruments, often with machinery gathered from second-hand shops. He worked in isolation for many years, before making contact with other musicians in the noise music cassette underground. He formed his own record label, Deepskin Conceptual Mindmusic, in the 1990s. He has also released music as Dust/Omit (with Bruce Russell).

	His music is essential if you are into long abstract and cerebral dronescapes (imagine something between Cluster II and Klaus Schulze's Cyborg)

	He most be a good musician, he worked with Bruce Russell! By the way, is so hard to find music from New Zealand, but i know this band 1/3rd Octave Band, very nice works, very similar to Bruce and The Dead C's works. Edited by anael - July 24 2006 at 15:40

	I didn't know my home country had that much prog, I onhly knew of early Split enz, and found Rangnorok and Airlord on this website, it looks like those two are out of print, there is a NZ section in most music stores in NZ to try and stimulate NZ's music scene, I usually ignore it apart from Split Enz because most of our music is substandard, but I'll check the section again sometimeto see any of that NZ electronic prog. I don't think many NZ prog fans are aware of those guys, for most of us the buck stops at Split Enz.
