Oo is an Instrument

Oo is an Instrument
 oo-dressuplala

Oo is a bricolage multidisciplinary Surrealist art instrument. She
collects sounds, objects, images, dreams and ideas, and changes them
into animations, songs, movies, installations and performances:
interperceptive poetic reflections expressing the magic, beauty and
humour of everyday life.

Inspired by the London dub and drum&bass scene, children toys, broken laptops, Indonesia, love, she also started a project, Polichinelle, with musical partner (drummer and multi instrumentalist) Bubu. They played various gigs & festivals across Europe, one of the highlights being the main dance stage at Glastonbury 2007, and released several tracks on Canada based label Peppermill Records.

In 2007 she graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy of fine
arts, and with Kai Nobuko and Bubu founded the art collective Dream
Society. Together they made a movie called Chant down Babylon which
has been screened at several arts exhibitions and festivals in Europe.
They also create live performances of music and visuals putting into
use whatever they can find [e.g. kitchen utensils, vegetables,
tricycles, etc] .

In Oo’s work, music and animation and drawing merge, and in her music, different musical genres from the present and the past have always been present. Lately, she has been studying harmonium, piano & Indonesian gamelan music in London.

Currently Oo is working on two albums; Kaleidophone
and the Song the Ship, to be released by Gattoblaster Records. The first is a mostly instrumental danceable electronic diary, the latter a collection of acoustic intimate songs of voice, piano & harmonium.

A long player of her musical adventures can be found at her own website for full enjoyment.

Bubu

Bubu.
bubuuu
(drummer, multi instrumentalist, and wicked composer)

a bit from the man himself:
I am a musician, composer and producer, based sice some time in London.
I play drums, percussions, and several other instruments. Towards the end of my Art school course I started as a jazz drummer at 17 attending Berklee summer courses and joining a local school of music. After some experience with a big band and some projects with people of the jazz avant-garde scene, in the 1991 I entered the classical school of music in order to study classical percussions ( timpani, marimba, vibraphone, and all the other friends ), piano, etc..After the degree completion in 1997 and some activity with classical orchestras and contemporary percussion ensembles I decided to expand the musical horizons exploring african, brazilian and cuban drumming, travelling and at the same time beginning to dig composition,orchestral arrangement and electronic music. With the spirit of a researcher in a musical heritage scattered whitin global roots, my own productions are the result of a cultural and musical cross-over without limitation of style and prejudices.
Current projects in which I am actually involved:

Conil
the BrassVolcanoes
Qdos

He also made the sound track for the full length feature film;
‘Chant Down Babylon’.
