Traumhafte Kombination zweier unserer Lieblings- Minimal & Drone-Projekte, OSSO EXOTICO und MINIT! Hammond-Orgel, Violine, Synth, eine Bass-Trommel und mit Bogen bespielte Klavierseiten formen zwei lange Drone-Mandalas, die eine überraschend rauhe Gestalt annehmen und volle Aufmerksamkeit erfordern...
" Born out of both creative empathy and chance, Organ Eye were formed in the wake of a live concert of David Maranha (Osso Exotico) and Minit (Jasmine Guffond & Torben Tilly), which took place at the ZDB Gallery in Lisbon, Portugal at the end of February 2005. With the addition of Patricia Machás (also a member of Osso Exotico), the quartet that now forms Organ Eye was completed and in March and December of 2006, they recorded their eponymous debut album.
The two raga-like tracks that comprise this first album equally reflect
the qualities of the two contributing sides – Minit's loop-driven
fragmented melancholic electronics and the hypnotic and ritualistic
electro-acoustic drone studies of Maranha and Machás. Such a union forms an intense patchwork of eternal sound vibration in which fuzzed-out organ riffs keep realigning themselves and ululating digital scree
unravels in a series of convulsive but cyclic turns, while delicate
violin descensions and processed harmonium drones draw out a pulsating soundspace.
Despite its monolithic nature there is a lot of detail, and repeated listening will reveal a moody, unfixed world of miniature vibrations,
harmonics and noise. Amidst an overall somber, foreboding atmosphere are sublime moments of ecstasy and serenity in which also a sense of directionless-ness allows space to breath.
Organ Eye is a turn towards a live improvised form that neither party
has explored on record before. Referencing not only the overdriven
noise-drone workout of VU's 'Sister Ray' but also the seminal teachings
of the Young/Conrad/Riley axis, Organ Eye expresses a unanimous interest in the transportative / transcendental power of drone music and its various improvised forms - deconstructing the spiritual trip so as to be able to repossess it and make it their own.
Organ Eye - a volatile rocket of intense drone-mutation, fleeting sonic
ghosts and suspended feedback on the brink of implosion. 44 minutes of vitriolic electric-acoustic drone. The outward and the inward eye.

"OK so David Maranha is back. After Osso Exotico's collaboration with Verre Enharmoniques (see Vital Weekly 557), and a re-issue of 'Piano Suspenso', he now pops up as Organ Eye, together with Patracia Machas and Jasmine Guffond and Torben Tilly, otherwise known as Minit. In February both Maranha and Minit played at ZDB in Lisbon and later Machas came along and in between March and December 2006 they made the two pieces that form the self-titled debut album. Maranha plays hammond organ, violin, Guffond electronics, Machas harmonium, bass drum and bowed piano and Tilly electronics. If one is a bit acquainted with both Osso Exotico and Minit, it would be no surprise that drones play an important role here, but it's quite violent ones. More say Tony Conrad & John Cale than Mirror or Monos. Highly improvised it seems to me, with lots of small strange sounds shivering below the surface: the electro-acoustic component of this music. The meeting of the acoustic instruments by the Portuguese, versus the electro-acoustic, loop based Australians. It's quite a tour de force this one. Loud, but not too much noise, present and clear, rather than lulling the listener into sleep. Very intense music and perhaps for all four involved a break with what they have been doing so far..."

"Nach den gläsernen Folk Cycles mit Verres Enharmoniques stößt man in Organ Eye (staubgold 74) erneut auf Osso Exoticos David Maranha &
Patricia Machás. Zusammen mit dem Minit-Pärchen Jasmine Guffond & Torben Tilly wählten sie ORGAN EYE gleich auch als Namen für ihr Quartett. Um zu viert in zwei langen Klangflüssen Turtle‘s Dream-Musik
anzustimmen, Maranha mit Hammondorgeldrones und Violinstrichen, Machás mit Harmonium, Basstrommel und gestrichenen Klaviersaiten,
Minit mit elektronischen Loops. Mit sirrenden und dröhnenden Schimmerklängen,
Schreibmachinentackerbeats und klackend mahlenden Gelenken setzt sich eine Klangmühle in Gang, die mehr und mehr aufrauscht
wie ein elektrifiziertes Hurdy Gurdy, infernalisch umflackert und so diskant wie des Teufels Beitrag zum Garten der Lüste. Das ‚Tema #2‘ giftet gleich noch etwas schriller, verdichtet sich unbändiger und frisst sich als Welle gebündelter Teufelstriller durch Mark und Bein. John Cales Velvet Underground-Viola, Tony Conrads Slapping Pythagoras-Geige und Charlemagne Palestines volle Grizzlyorgeldröhnung, verschmolzen
zu einem vielzungigen Drachenfeuer, kulminieren zu einer Art SunnO)))- Remix von O‘Rourkes Happy Days!!! Ein ultimativer Swarm of Drones, der kreist und malt und dröhnt und dröhnt und immer höher steigt bis auf den Gipfel des Mountain of Madness und einen in seinem Twisterwirbel, der sich in seinem Innern, in seinem Auge, wie in Zeitlupe dreht, dort hinauf
mitreißt. Das nenne ich sublim! Das nenne ich Brainstorming, das nenne ich Sturm auf die gefrorenen Winterpaläste in uns." [Bad Alchemy]
