Bio(From Some Place Else artist information)
Ovro is rather a newcomer to the world of making music, having switched from consuming odd music to also creating it in spring of 2003.
Her debut album Malice in Underland (released by Some Place Else late 2003) utilised purposefully limited means: a faulty microphone and Ovro's own voice, without any other instruments or sampling used. Various scratches, crackles and human-originating sounds were put under a microscope to reveal hidden tunes and rhythms, thus turned audible. This sound-microscope amplifies usually unnoticed fractions of reality (or "reality", as the case may be), opening up other worlds. The result is minimal and subdued, sometimes chaotic array of soundscape, creating surreal imagery.
Since then, Ovro has taken steps further from the debut's self-imposed limited scope. The next release, Live in Placard #7 (split live album with Niko Skorpio) documents a kind of transition stage from the first album towards quite less minimalistic approach to music.
The new album, released in autumn 2005, entitled Gegendurchgangenzeit, is an "unplanned CD". This release could be classified under dark ambient and is an exercise on aural pathworking. It is constructed to be listened through at one go with the track titles intended to be used as possible guidance on the way, hinting at stages of visions through the imaginary journey. Why call this "unplanned"? Well, that is exactly what it is, as the sound material started pouring out and demand to be released. Originally this demand was satisfied by "releasing" the album as a very, very limited edition of only one copy (the artist herself does not have a copy of it!), which was given away as a gift. The owner of the original copy, Some Place Else frontman Niko Skorpio felt the CD deserving a larger audience and talked Ovro over to release the album officially.
Out next from Ovro will be the long talked about EP Mosaick the Serpent, which has been under works since the autumn of 2003 (before the debut was out...), going through several metamorphoses soundwise on the way.
