Ogrob - ein geisteskranker als künstler
Sébastien Borgo / Ogrob is a noise guitarist and founding member of the French-Romanian experimental post-punk trio SUN PLEXUS 2, along with Laurent Berger and Remy Bux, in existence since 1993. In parallel, he has been composing prepared and/or electronic guitar-based pieces since 1991, sometimes venturing into concrete music, harsh noise, field recordings and fine arts.
Ein Geisteskranker als Künstler has 14 pieces out of archives between 1994 and 2006. We discover a multitude of sounds of instruments: guitars, basses, cymbals, analog synth, or misappropriated objects: 45s, radio tube, ... or a person "trapped" as drowsy during the installation of Regreb and Ogrob the "temple of rock". Each piece is different and can only be discovered by its own. However, the disc is a rare consistency. The Wire mentionned it as one of 2010’s more impressive musique concrète releases.
Musician without compromise, we propose here a trip to the limit actual fact ghostly visions and shipping in the depths of dark and wet caves. Ogrob composed by a mesmerizing music but also enjoys playing with our nerves ... The listener will not escape unscathed, you will be warned ...
