Ov marks the first duo recording collaboration between longtime collaborators and newlyweds Christine Boepple (Whysp, Softwar, The Franciscan Hobbies, The Skygreen Leopards Skyband, Kyrgyz, etc) and Jewelled Antler's Loren Chasse (Of, Thuja, The Child Readers, The Franciscan Hobbies, Softwar, The Blithe Sons, Thuja, Coelacanth, etc), both of San Francisco.
Building off of Chasse’s recent solo recordings as Of, the duo’s Ov project features loop-based compositions that incorporate strummed strings and otherworldly sounds. The atmosphere achieved is dense and the compositions mesmorizing, recalling Marcus Popp at his most transcendental.
Ov’s recorded debut came in mid 2006, in the form of a limited edition CDR, The Moon is Down, on Jewelled Antler. Sound artist and educator Loren Chasse co-founded the Jewelled Antler label with friend and collaborator Glenn Donaldson in 2001.
Noctilucent Valleys, released May 2007, is the second album from Ov. |
