On December 1st 2010 it will be ODRZ birthday: ten years of activity.

The event will be celebrated Saturday 27th of November, at ARCI BLOB in Arcore, near Milan, with the INDUSTRIAL FESTA FESTIVAL,  a festival of contemporary art and music.

There will be played live some excerpts of ODRZ projects, with a lot of guests that crossed ODRZ way during these years: musicians, readers, painters, dancers will perform with ODRZ that will be as “leitmotiv” of the event.

The night will be divided into some music "pictures" and within them each artist will join ODRZ creating a mini-performance with our music reached by musician participation.

The building of industrial sculpture, dancers and live painting presences will combine within music sets, during all the event.

ODRZ19        2010

Soundtrack of “POSTCARDS”, video directed by Elena Pellegatta and Alessandro Mottadelli, made only with the aim of a digital reflex photo camera, making snaps in sequence and editing them as a video.

The project developes an idea in  order to the memory linked to a place in which the body is present everywhere: it is a sanatorium of early last century, transformed by and during the ages.

Four places, four different suggestions that move the body: four postcards sent ideally to the future, to an imaginary addressee contributing to hand on the memory of a place that sooner or later will disappear.

ODRZ16
...in progress...

  

  

  

ODRZ15  -  “Sonora Commedia”    2009
Thirty-three musicians (or not musicians) are involved in the soundtrack of Dante Alighieri’s Divina Commedia: Sonora Commedia (Sounding Comedy).

The opera is divided in 3 CD’S (Hell, Purgatory, Paradise); each artist has chosen a triad of chants of the poem (the same chant number of the three hymns) and he has written three songs, being based on chants, in his personal style. So the tracks are diverse (in order to instruments, musical structures, ideas) but penetrated with a tiny common feeling, supported by Dante’s book.

The project is out on Kipple Editions within Intonarumori series, in a brilliant box set, with triple CD and 40 pages booklet.

ODRZ are one of the artists involved (chant XXXI) and they are also co-creators of the project.

Horn on Hell by Danilo Stagni.

Flute on Paradise by Elisa Russo.  

 

 

 

ODRZ14  -  MARGINI  SONORI      2007

                 -  MARGINI  SONORI II  2008

Unconventional music set exploring the national and international panorama of a musical cave-like scene, mostly unknown but absolutely active and reactive; scene belonging to artists who perfectly represent the everyday life routine, projecting themselves to a far or close - who knows ? - allucinating future.

Each and every perfomed night flows among electonical music and pure noise, experimental and performance, ambient and industrial music, showing distant but original reality on a visual and musical level: even the most traditional listener will be captured.

Location: Barrio's Cafè in via Barona corner with via Boffalora in MILANO (tel. 02-89159255)

ODRZ13        2006

Soundtrack for a phisycal - industrial performance.

Croatian ensemble NOISE WALL sacrifice alive a car, one of the modern industry symbols, dissecting it by grinders breaking it in a pile of plates.

ODRZ mix the sounds of the spectacle with their own ambient-industrial sonorities alternating deep and haunting times with different more frenetic and powerful ones for a soundtrack in which the blades that dissect the metal are the soloists

 

 

 

ODRZ12        2005

Project no-project for live performance

Equipment reduced to the minimum

Ambient-Industrial music

Always different

For small venues.

The CD is available at Tibprod.

 

 

 

ODRZ11        2005

“Il Grande Tritacarne” is a science fiction book edited by Kipple in a packaging enclosing a CD standing for ideal soundtrack. The project involves many groups working on avantgarde and on musical research less conventional.

The task of ODRZ is “voicing” the last chapter.

The final result is a track with a “circular” structure within deep and beating sounds take turns to martial/industrial rhythms, emphasized by an iperdistorted and disturbing voice.

The end of the world, saw from far away, is a warped of disfigured sounds, which come in the stomach crossing the brain.

All set for a new life.

 

 

 

ODRZ10        2005

Hammers, mallets, trowels, chisels, files scraping, carving, creeping and rolling on steel plates and metal discs. An ultra noise project by ODRZ from these sounds.

The track is within a quadruple collective CD produced and issued by Tibprod.

 

 

 

ODRZ09        2004

Collective project proposed by Cadmium Dunkel and produced by the norwegian label Tibprod.

The subject is remix/reconstruct of some of his tracks, unreservedly alterable.

ODRZ rewrote the track called “Mai”, adding to the original piece sound samples taken from it, altered and played in loop mode.

The CD, called “Reconstruct II”, is available at Tibprod.

 

 

 

ODRZ08        2004

Participation at “Il Programma di Religione”, CD project edited by Boyarm (www.boyarm.com) about Popes. 265 artist involved, each one with a track no more than 15 seconds long.

ODRZ are in it with a track dedicated to the shortest pontificate in the history, “Stephen II” (752 D.C.), who dead three days after election but before consacration.

The track, which lasts 14 seconds,  is divided into two parts (life – death).

In Part I all the sounds start from human voice, the most used “instrument” for making music during those ages; the notes of the melody are the “translation” on pentagram of the letters composing Pope name.

The end of the track describes the sudden death.

The CD is available at Boyarm.

 

 

 

ODRZ07        2004

Industrial noise musical project, formed by tracks played only with guitars and microphones. The complete transformation of the instruments makes them unidentifiable, and they seem as model sounds and rhythms of different instruments.

The tracks was written making use of several sense of compositions and recording methods.

ODRZ07  Live :  Milano, Monza

The CD is available at Kipple ("Intonarumori" collection).

ODRZ06        2003 - 2010

Musical rendering (industrial noise) of a day in a factory.

The work symbolises the whole working day (in Italy 8 working hours and 1 lunch break hour) and it is made up of 9 parts, which are published every year, starting from 2004, on a fixed day:  May 1st.

The work has been completed on May 1st 2010.

Factory engines and surroundings have been sampled during working time and have been subsequently altered. The samples have been used across the entire work: sounds of analogue synthesizers, microphones, effect units and voices have been added too.

The music project intends to describe the fabric atmosphere also from the workers point of view; feelings, status and frame of mind like oppression, effort, iterativity, boredom, dark mood and rescue are translated in music through heavy, industrial and mechanical sounds.

Voice on Part V by Paola Bianchi (Ludmila, Femina Faber).

ODRZ05        2002

The television, today, is the most immediated media. Audio TV reality undergoes an alteration process by ODRZ. ODRZ05 drives the TV audience away. The ODRZ05 project lasts 60 minutes.

ODRZ used 6 original audio TV sources as real instruments. Every instrument undergoes an alteration process. The final result is a noise composition.

The live performance consists in undergoing alterations the sound broadcasted in real time by the television networks, showing images at the same time.  

ODRZ05  Live :  Barcelona, MunchenMilano, Krizevci

ODRZ04        2002

Presentation of two pieces for a project called “collective juke-box”, based on the transfiguration of the concept of juke-box.

Various artists take part, freely, with their own pieces of a variable length included in a juke-box the audience is called to use (in art galleries, museums).

The users can interact with the machine, that usually is a fee-paying entertainment, choosing pieces freely, no matter how many.

ODRZ03        2001

Voicing of an ecological house showed in an exhibition on the subject. The circularity of pieces and the use of noises on background represent an attempt to accompany the short permanence of the spectator, without catching his attention, but above all without making  him feel lonely.

ODRZ02        2001
