The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Oval - Ovidono (Uovooo)

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE


WHAT WE SAY

I recommend a lot of good music, but I'm not often surprised, & in this case delighted to discover Markus Popp & his latest LP. It's a weird but wonderful world where ASMR vocals whisper & curl around a deconstructed neoclassical mosaic secured by delicately glitch splattered ambient grout. Magical.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

Ovidono is an auditory art project by Markus Popp (aka Oval) and Vlatka Alec, a fascinating scenario for a new kind of musical storytelling. 

Sensual, dazzling and multi-layered, the project - initially code-named “ASMR 2.0” - combines a new interpretation of the epic, timeless poetry of Ovid and Ono No Komachi (performed in Japanese by Eriko Toyoda aka SO) with Oval’s electroacoustic compositions, post-digital soundscapes, and ambitious vocal processing. The complex, whispered vocalizations evoke the tactile, immersive quality and intimacy of ASMR. 

Merging the latest version of the complex, hypnotic Oval sound - no stone was left unturned in Markus’s research for this project - with the scintillating, electronically intertwined vocal performances by Vlatka and Eriko creates a sophisticated, intimate dialogue, an experience of a third music waiting to be discovered, a felt entity that effortlessly crosses boundaries of time, language, and technique. 

Ovidono wants to create a place of musical longing, inviting you into a surreal garden of sound, whose hybrid poetry and design language instantly generate their own emotional pull - a lucid, intoxicating deep dive into an emotional limbo, playfully drawing new meanings out of poetry beloved for over a thousand years.
