Omica by Olor Acre
Omica is the result of a sound conversation between two participants with the necessity to capture a future energy that goes beyond the present.
A journey full of changes that oscillate between the revolutions of biomechanical machines and a constant light that bends time; as well as a fluid that pumps through cables creating structures and rhythms within a fickle space.
Percussions that add up like overtaking on highways and that in turn are accompanied by melodic lines that channel and guide the journey.
An abrasive sensation in an unknown place.
A metal that is rusting by the very flesh that covers it.
The agreement between the organic and present here and the unknown and yet to come, an agreement between two.
Work the machinery.
Working on the concern and uncertainty of our own times, the lack and longing for the tangible. The unstoppable advance that questions the physical and the way we relate to what surrounds us and the question of how we will do it in the future with the forms already created and those yet to come.
A set of constantly developing surfaces in front of an uncluttered but at the same time prepared landscape waiting to be filled with what is left of us.
A wide and flat view where the strength of the mechanical rules.

Instructions to access the field and its evolution.
We will be able to visualize in first instance the biomachine in its nature, suspended in the air by muscular barbed wires.
The executable offers two options:
An experience controlled by keyboard and mouse, resembling a first-person video game, followed by a much more immersive option, for which we will need VR (Virtual Reality) glasses. This second viewing will be controlled by our own gaze and we will be able to move around the environment using our left hand controller.
This second option ensures a fully immersive experience both visually and sonically, thanks to the audio propagation that makes it surrounding.
Both options require a mid-range PC with Windows operating system.
On the other hand, if only the first option is available, the use of headphones is recommended to enhance the binaural sound as it travels throughout the room.

Olor Acre is the Barcelona project of Erik Paterna aka Stmkh and Xavier Longàs aka Refectori who released three albums on the Bestiarie and Hedonic Reversal labels. He has performed in different venues and festivals in Barcelona such as MIRA Festival, in the two editions of Bicefal Festival, as well as bringing techno sounds to the Kreuzberg Club with Diffuse Reality. Also with the HEX collective, he has participated in his second episode at The Loft in Razzmatazz.
This project has been carried out with an idea that goes through a process of creation that is defined by the decomposition of sounds already present together with a constant decompassed acceleration that results in structures and forms with different readings.

Founded in 2016, the label intend to build a platform for emerging and consolidated musicians and sound projects from our environment.
Every edition has the sound experimentation, the direct contact with the artist and a carefully in-house designed artwork that dig deep in the main concept as a common denominator. Every artist is unique and every edition must reflect this idea.
