OJP084: Ureterocele / Tube With Contrast Medium

'Tube With Contrast Medium' was self released in December 2025, one year and eight months after his previous album 'Left Renal Agenesis'. The title refers to a kidney examination in which a tube is inserted through the urethra and contrast medium is injected to confirm whether both kidneys are present. That test revealed that he has only one kidney, and the remaining kidney had enlarged to compensate.

This album was created from a desire to build tracks out of sounds that represented contrast medium being injected, blood traveling through blood vessels, and how the outside world might sound if someone were small enough to be inside the bladder. It also aims to express the small, quiet feelings carried during those tests.

In the title track, the opening koto sound was inspired by an X-ray image, where part of the organs looked like cherry blossoms. The blast beat reflects the speed of the contrast medium rushing into the body. “Gradient Coil Noise” is Ureterocele’s interpretation of the sound heard during an MRI scan. The final three tracks move into beat-driven loop pieces, including a return of the koto sample as a small gesture of respect to listeners who enjoy Japanese culture.

Ureterocele at home

Ureterocele is a Tokyo based dark experimental solo project that began in 2024. The music is created in a DAW with programmed parts and multiple layers of effects processing, while the bass is recorded as fully improvised takes to bring live variation into the tracks. The artist name comes from a medical term related to a congenital condition. Ureterocele has also donated a portion of Bandcamp proceeds to medical institutions in Japan. Influences include Nurse With Wound and The Pop Group, as well as online visual aesthetics such as mallsoft, liminal space, and weirdcore.

Digital release on the 20th of February 2026.

OUC052 : Auster Loo / Make It More

Simon Leleux (doholla, bendir) and Lydie Thonnard (flutes, vocals) are united by a shared passion for rhythm and improvisation, inspired by their encounters with music and musicians of all styles and backgrounds.

The unique complicity between Lydie and Simon immediately immerses the listener in a captivating experience of their music. Through their freedom of improvisation, the two musicians make the audience complicit in the creation of the moment, a moment in which they participate and which they help to shape.

Beyond rhythmic exploration, sound is paramount: "How can we manipulate our respective instruments in such a way as to evoke other timbres, other instruments, and other musical traditions?" Acoustic, meticulously crafted, improvised, or composed, the music of Auster Loo is like a breath of fresh air that takes us on a journey through space and time, in search of a unique and innovative musical language.

After the album 'Collective' released in 2024 on Igloo Records which brought together eight musicians from different musical traditions around an original repertoire, Lydie and Simon felt the desire and the need to reconnect as a duo, without artifice.

'Make it more' features nine compositions written by the two artists. The album once again showcases the distinctive characteristics of Carnatic music, both in the modes used and the compositional processes. As in this tradition originating in South India, improvisation plays a significant role in the duo's work, allowing each performer to contribute a constantly expanding sonic palette to their music, enriched by their diverse collaborations.

ODG232 : Arash Azadi / Eerie

ODG232 : Arash Azadi / Eerie

“Eerie” is the new album from Arash Azadi, composed during the Autumn of 2025 in Yerevan, Armenia.

Here is his artist statement:

"Eerie is the record of a compositional loop between human intuition and algorithmic transformation. I begin each piece with free improvisations on digital piano—gestures, harmonies, and micro-rhythms that emerge from embodied practice. I then re-enter this material through AI systems using my own text-scores: prompts that specify instrumentation, style, genre, and form. The machine’s outputs are not endpoints but raw matter. I subject them to electro-acoustic procedures—slicing, re-arrangement, time-stretching, granulation, and other techniques from the lineage of musique concrète—until a new organism appears.

The resulting works move along a porous border where avant-garde construction meets popular idioms. You will hear collisions and fusions with EDM, hip-hop, trap, djent, and metal—not as pastiche, but as a deliberate grammar for contact. My question throughout has been: how might we carry the formal and timbral experiments of the avant-garde toward listeners who recognize themselves in more familiar soundworlds? Eerie proposes a vocabulary in which extended techniques, dissonant harmonies, and acousmatic textures converse naturally with beat-driven architectures.

My stance toward AI is instrumental, not devotional. Technology, used with care, can extend the radius of human attention and imagination; used carelessly, it can flatten them. I treat AI as an esoteric tool in the original sense—an instrument for inward inquiry as much as outward effect. By redirecting the systems with my own materials and constraints, I seek access to a wider field of the musical collective subconscious: patterns we half-remember, affects we haven’t yet named.

The “eerie” in this music is not horror for its own sake, but a productive uncanniness—the feeling of moving between the known and the unknown, of returning changed. Each piece traces that passage: from improvisation to algorithmic mediation, from opaque texture to shared pulse, from private intuition to public address. If the music occasionally feels like a dream that suddenly clicks into focus, that is by design; it aims to stage recognition without surrendering ambiguity.

Eerie is therefore both experiment and invitation. It argues that avant-garde practice can be legible without compromise, that complexity can meet immediacy, and that new tools need not sever us from human stakes. I hope the album helps loosen the bottleneck between experimental music and broader publics—bypassing academic gatekeeping where necessary—so that our common listening can expand alongside our means of making."

Enjoy this incroyable journey!

Digital release on the 30th of January 2026.

OUW027 : Danny Barwick feat. Juliette Duguay / Seen

OUW027: Danny Barwick feat. Juliette Duguay / Seen

For the past two years I’ve been living in Montréal, where I met Québécois writer Juliette Duguay. During that time, she spent six months creating adult content, promoting it through an anonymous Instagram account of faceless nudes. She regularly received DMs ranging from pleading to aggressive, tender to absurd. Struck by their tone, she began arranging them into poems, using each message verbatim.

Together, the poems form seven voices: different men reaching out into the void, their messages unanswered except by the notification ‘Seen.’

In Juliette’s home, in the depths of a Montréal winter, I recorded her reading these poems into a Torso S4, a new sound manipulation instrument from Copenhagen, and looped them with long-form live piano improvisations.

The result is a haunting sonic space of collaged voices, dissolving loops, and blurred emotion in which longing mutates into something stranger and more revealing.Seen is a naked and unfiltered portrait of male desire, digital loneliness, fantasy, delusion and hope.

Danny

Danny Barwick is a producer and composer from Melbourne, Australia, creating heartfelt, textural music that blurs the line between song and cinema. A jazz-trained drummer and pianist with a background in philosophy, Barwick’s work balances precision with emotional depth, creating spacious, intimate, and vividly human sonic worlds.

After years touring as a sideman, he began releasing his own music in 2017 with a series of remixes that reached over five million streams. His debut EP, Distance, followed soon after, earning national radio rotation, a support tour with revered Australian artist, Gordi, and slots at boutique festivals along Australia’s east coast.

Subsequent releases, The Tigers, Naddi, and Iluka, pushed his sound further into experimental songwriting and textural production, weaving jazz sensibility through minimalist electronica and narrative storytelling.

Digital release on the 23rd of January 2026.

OUW026 : Floy Krouchi feat. Kamilya Jubran - Meira Asher - Ahmad Yahyazadeh - Kais Bakri / Couvre-Feux (Curfews)

In this radio play, Floy Krouchi works with sounds captured in the Middle East since 2001, mixing texts by Tunisian and Lebanese poets, testimonies, Amnesty International reports, and archival documents. The narrative relies on three voices: Arabic, French, and Hebrew, questioning notions of identity, border, and territory in a context of war, in order to explore the possibilities of "sonic catharsis" of a decomposed, transformed reality.

Based on a text by the Tunisian poet Maha Ben Abdeladhim

With excerpts from "Paroles de patience et de départ" by Selma Zghidi (Tunisia) and "Fajr Free Jazz" by Ritta Baddoura (Lebanon)

Dans ce Hörspiel, Floy Krouchi travaille autour de sons capturés sur le théâtre des opérations au Moyen-Orient depuis 2001 en mêlant textes de poètes tunisiennes et libanaises, témoignages, rapports d’Amnesty international et documents d’archives.La trame s’appuie sur trois voix : arabe, français, hébreux, questionnant les notions d’identité, de frontière et de territoire dans un contexte de guerre, de manière à interroger les possibilités de "catharsis sonore" du réel décomposé, transformé.

Musique originale :  Floy Krouchi (basse et traitements électroniques, composition, voix) avec Kamilya Jubran (oud et voix), Meira Asher (électronique, voix), Ahmad Yahyazadeh  (daf), Kais Bakri (flûte).

D'après un texte de la poète tunisienne Maha Ben Abdeladhim

Avec des extraits de "Paroles de patience et de départ" de Selma Zghidi (Tunisie) et de "Fajr Free Jazz" de Ritta Baddoura (Liban)
