Out Now:   Odnu + Umlaut  album "Abandoned Spaces"
released February 15, 2024 on Audiobulb Records


It was the philosopher Aristotle that first coined the phrase “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” In the case of the new album “Abandoned Spaces” by OdNu + Ümlaut (Michel Mazza & Jeff Düngfelder), this rings true. Both artists have lived many years in New York City, and both now reside in the countryside a few hours north of the city. And even though they only recently became acquaintances (through Audiobulb Records) their shared life experience made them perfect for this partnership. The result are compositions that reveal unexpected sounds and new ways of listening.

New Soft Generator  Album - On a Precipice of  Movement 
out October 13th
on Shimmering Moods Records

On A Precipice Of Sound presents four enigmatic musical narratives. Electronic and acoustic motifs intertwine in a collage of sound textures made up of esoteric strings, violin and cello plucks, wind instruments including trumpet, guitar and atmospheric synthesizers. Traversing time and spatiality each track gathers distance, gathering fragments of audio dust, placing it and repurposing it. At times following the instinct of an old classical orchestra at other times jazz and electronic music this is an eclectic approach developed by musicians enjoying the freedom to express themselves and build on each other’s contributions.

Soft Generator  Album - Released February 3, 2023
on slowtonecollages

On a Map of Sound is compiled from two long form journeys that traverse a narrative across time and space. Extending distance, gathering fragments of audio dust and polishing it. The result endures just as the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography....

Announcing the new music video ::::“Floating Room”::::

​

Full Album to be released late August 2017

​

Read a great review for "Lejano" on  Irregular Crates


Hear "Floating Room" featured on Unexplained Sounds

"Lejano", OdNu’s new full length ambient music release date will be sometime in August.  The album will come with an accompanying digital book with artwork by Michel Mazza and writings by idiiom.  

​

The music for Lejano is the product of two years of experimenting and recording with midi guitar. OdNu found a way to improvise, record and perform by using the midi guitar to trigger different sounds and samples of his own recordings. Each song on Lejano is an improvisation following this process and each song was recorded in just one take.

The results are as unique and interesting as the process. On each track you’ll find melancholic guitar melodies that lead you through mesmerizing and densely textured landscapes. These ambient experimental landscapes feel like foreign atmospheres, like lost sentences in letters that forgot to be sent, like dreams flooding to the surface, like objects falling in slow tumbling winds, like clouds of syncopated mystery. We recommend that you lie down on the floor while listening and enjoy the fall in….
