Omnivm
''Omnivm'' is a live album by the electronic music duo FURT, consisting of Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer. Tracks 2 and 3 were recorded on March 9, 2005, at St Oswald's Church, Durham, England, while tracks 1 and 4 were recorded on April 25, 2006, at the Sonic Arts Research Centre in Belfast. The album is dedicated to composer Iannis Xenakis, and was released in 2006 by Psi Records. The music is based on the manipulation of samples from four sound sources: gamelan music, distorted voices, sounds produced by an analog synthesizer, and a free improvisation trio featuring saxophonist Evan Parker, double bassist Barry Guy, and percussionist Paul Lytton. The album title was derived from the novel ''The Third Policeman'' by Flann O'Brien, in which "omnium" is "the essential inherent interior essence which is hidden in the root of the kernel of everything." Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture called the album "a truly stunning performance," and wrote: "The perform ...

Psi Records
Psi Records is an independent record label that was founded by saxophonist Evan Parker, and that focuses on free improvisation Free improvisation or free music is improvised music without any general rules, instead following the intuition of its performers. The term can refer to both a technique—employed by any musician in any genre—and as a recognizable genre of .... History Parker founded Psi in 2001 with the assistance of Martin Davidson of Emanem Records. Parker had previously co-founded Incus Records in 1970, but left the label in 1986, after which he recorded for Leo, FMP, Emanem, and ECM. According to Parker, he started the label because he "missed the feeling of overseeing a project from start to finish," and chose the name Psi "for all the associations with irrational numbers, golden ratios etc. but above all for the Psi phenomena which I am convinced are at the heart of improvised music making." From 2001 to 2012, Psi released nearly 90 CDs, after which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album was released in 2004 by Psi Records. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture called the album "one of Furt's finest documents," describing it as "exhausting, but highly rewarding and unique," and writing: "Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer throw sounds back and forth at each other, accumulating a staggering range of sources, densely stacked in a rarely blinking 'piece' that never tumbles into noise-for-noise's-sake. This shapeshifting assemblage creates its own inner logic, the same way a ferocious Peter Brötzmann quartet improv finds its own path." The authors of ''The Pengui ...
