Omnipresence
Music from Omfostan!
Omnipresence is the opus magnum of the explorer and discovererOMFO. Years of travelling far and wide, making hundreds of recordings,delving into ancient musical cultures, learning to play strange andunfamiliar instruments, have culminated in this experimental electro-acoustic masterpiece. An unprecedented combination of sound andinstruments takes us on a journey through time and space, captivatingthe imagination from the very first moment.
His first album on the Essay Recordings label, Trans BalkanExpress, put OMFO in the international spotlight. Sacha Baron Cohen(aka Borat) even chose two tracks from the album for the soundtrack ofhis latest film. On his second album, We are the Shepherds, OMFO led avirtual flock of sheep into orbit and let the shepherds make music inzero gravity.
After that, he concentrated on developing his stageperformance according his maxim of “back to thearchetypes”. Collaborating with artists and musicians fromaround Eurasia is his greatest passion; traditional cultures and theirconnection with cosmic metaphysical forces his greatest inspiration.OMFO wants to introduce western audiences to what he regards as the“intrinsic modernism of the Orient”. This includesextending the listener’s experience of music beyond theboundaries of mere entertainment and taking it into the realms ofritual.
His Primitive Equations project, with DJ Goldfinger– a series of events featuring the music and art ofindigenous people – uses “fieldrecordings” accompanied by video projections of relatedimages. In October 2007, thanks to the Aga Khan Music Initiative inCentral Asia, OMFO was able to visit Tajikistan, where he had theopportunity of working directly with musicians from the remote Pamirmountain region of Badakhshan. This led to a series of multimediaevents throughout Europe and Central Asia: Falak - the Heavenly Musicon Stage. It is from this wealth of experience that OMFO has drawn theinspiration for his latest album. In his quest to resolve the issue oftraditional cultures and their role in the age of technologies,Omnipresence is a catalyst for the fusion of these two seeminglyirreconcilable concepts. At the same time, OMFO continues to work inthe field of film music, mainly creating soundtracks for the videoinstallations and performances of leading Kazakhstan artist AlmagulMenlibayeva, whose work will been shown again at the Venice Biennalethis year.
Expeditions into Central Asian Dub Space
OMFO’s reflections on his new album
It all started in a chaikhana somewhere in Central Asia. As Iwas enjoying a bowl of tea, suddenly the east of my brain started tosend strange signals to my body. And then my vision of the world turnedinto the abstract motif of a Turkmen rug. The whole universetransformed into a carpet ornament. The sound of prayer calls, noisybazaars and barking dogs dissolved into the eerie desert wind.
The next moment I found myself sitting on the back of a camel.Our longcaravan was drifting through a bright yellow space, toward an invisiblehorizon, where sand dunes and sky merge. Where we came from, what wewere, and where we went, nobody could tell. No-one spoke a word. Wewere in a dreamlike state.
Suddenly, one of the camels started to sing and soon the wholecaravanwas humming along. With a sudden jerk, the western part of my brainhurled me back into the tea house. The beautiful song I had just heardslowly faded away.
I took another sip of tea and when I looked up, I saw amountain rangeflashing by. I was on the bullet train to Dushanbe. Next to me was agirl with eyebrows curved like the crescent moon, and a little birthmark on her cheek. Her sensuous eyes radiated love and she smiledmysteriously while listening to her turquoise iPod. On the smalldisplay I saw the secret of her joy: she was listening to OMFO.
Just as I was about to say something to her, the train stoppedin themiddle of nowhere. When I got off the train, I saw a long carpet thatleads me to a richly decorated yurt. It was as though I was expectedthere. A group of nomads dressed in colorful chapans offered me a bowlof fresh kumis. Their vintage Russian world receiver played some mellowPamiri Dub, and a few electronic arabesques, until it broke down. Thehorse milk had made me very tipsy and just like a djinn, I flewstraight to the Pamiri Mountains. I landed in a deserted kishlak, whereI was welcomed by an almasti. Soon a whole family of these six feettall bigfoots joined us in some Neolithic ritual. We were chanting someabracadabra and as we were circling around a huge tree, going fasterand faster, we heard the sound of thunder. A bolt of lightning struckthe tree, and from its center a Siberian shaman appeared. While beatinghis drum he invoked the spirits of my innumerable ancestors. In a splitsecond I realized that I was able to go wherever I wanted to, at thespeed of my wish. The drumming transformed into countless songs andmelodies that spread through my vast brain like a blazing fire - Music!Incredible music filled the whole universe! Omnipresence!

The first Remix to be excerpted from the upcoming Omnipresence albumfeatures a very special remix by Viennese super heroes Makossa& Megablast.
OMFO always had a strong following in Austria, where his first albumwas an underground bestseller. Now Makossa & Megablast - whorecently scored with their fabulous “Kunuaka” album(G-Stone Recordings) - reworked the OMFO track Baghdub, which washailed being one of the most outstanding tracks on the popular“Dub Club” compilation (also onDorfmeister’s label G-Stone). Makossa & Megablastasked for the original tapes and crafted BUGDUB - housy dancefloorstomper.

The Shepherds Manifesto
Shepherds of the UniverseUnite!
Comrades! It is not a coincidence that the first man in spacewas a shepherd (Yuri Gagarin). In fact most of the cosmonauts wereshepherds as well as some of their American colleagues (astronautsWilliam Shepherd). And what about shepherd dog Laika? Who would nothave longed to hear it bark from the orbit…? Is it all amere coincidence? Certainly not! I shall explain.
The USSR was the first country to put man in space. But alsothe USSR was the first to proclaim the absolute power of theproletarians, peasants and…. Yes! Shepherds! Using their'Pure Shepherd Logic' (PSL), also known as the Logic of the Shepherds,they achieved a great success on Earth, expending their pastures intothe stratosphere and beyond, flying the space rockets. Shepherds, starsand the Milky Way were always friends. The flute of a shepherd used toaccompany the falling meteors and eclipses of the Moon. That is how ashepherd turned, enriched by the Morse code, dissolved in pulsatingclicks and the bubbly electronics, sounds into the SpaceSymphony, glorifying the primordial qualities of the shepherd's live.
This is the album for present day shepherds. You can enjoy itlistening alone, immersed in your own shepherd fantasies or dancingwith a fellow shepherd or shepherdess. These incessant rhythmicpulsations, captivating tone colors and sound effects of electronic andacoustic instruments, as well as unpretentious and plain melodicpatterns, create an uncommon but contemporary feeling. Even your flockof sheep might experience a cosmically unreal and transient state,resulting in good production of milk'n'wool.
Shepherds fall in love and then they sing… theysing slow melancholic melodies with naive and beautifullyrics. Even surrounded by eerie reaches of space, deprivedof the local disco clubs, they take up to their own innovativecharacter and invent the new musicale instruments. This is how simpledrum, flute, mouth harp turned into theremin, synthesizer and samplingsequencer. This is how old songs from all around their motherland,found its new meaning in the new environment, surrounded by whirlingsatellites, brilliant galaxies, streaming comets and mysteriousplanets.
Where to go from here is the question we are pondering overalready now.
The Shepherds of theUniverse – unite!
Our Man from Odessa
The master of crossoverpar excellence.O.M.F.O. Our Man from Odessa Born in the port of Odessa (Ukraine),German Popov emigrated to Amsterdam in 1989.
As an explorer German Popov loves to travel around CentralAsia making live recordings of everything from the traditional songsand melodies of the steppes to the modern restaurant bands of Tashkentwith their tinny keyboard sound.
So welcome to electronic Walachia, where folk meets Kraftwerkand where bizarre instruments and electronic sounds combine to create awhole new musical dimension.
With his ideas and his musicians he bravely goes where nohuman ear has dared to go before. Futurism meets folklore imaginaire:Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in Eastern European space.
His first album on the Essay Recordings label, TransBalkan Express, put him in the international spotlight, andnone other than Borat has chosen two tracks from the album Money Boneyand Magic Mamaliga for the soundtrack of his latest film.
Biography
A line-up ofextraordinary peopleOMFO is German Popov's stage name. He wasborn in 1966 in the port city of Odessa, USSR. Growing up in thebiggest country in the world and being brainwashed by communistpropaganda he proudly marched through the glory and misery of Sovietreality until all this came to an end. Unable to endure the paininflicted by Perestroika G. Popov headed for the west, arriving inmulticultural Amsterdam - a city associated with tolerant cannabispolicy and frivolous behaviour.
That was where G. Popov rediscovered the rich culturalinheritance that was left to him by the past. Utopian ideology, themoral and cultural decay of the Brezhnev era, the pathos of spaceexploration and ethnic diversity: all this made him ready to becomeOMFO. G. Popov began his musical career playing gangster ballads andprison epics in caviar restaurants and fugitive hangouts together with AlecKopyt. Taking advantage of world music lovers they playedunder the name The Children of Lieutenant Schmidt.After a while when this became no longer tenable G. Popov shifted hisfocus of interest towards space and cosmonauts. Jointly with a group ofSoviet expatriates he created a band called Sputnik.Noticed by the adepts of electronic extravaganza Sputniksoon released their only album The Favorite Songs of SovietCosmonauts.
While the band was beeping around glamorous clubs and privateparties G. Popov explored another path musical folklore. During one ofhis solo performances he was approached by a producer of a major Dutchnew age label, who offered him his studio to make a recording. Shortlyafter, Oreade Music released an album under themysterious name Isirik. To G. Popov's surprise thiswork was classified by the label as World Healing Music. Paradoxically,the album continues to inspire young intellectuals to experiment withpsychedelic substances all over the former USSR.
The secret of its popularity lies in the mix of Russian lyricsof exotic Siberian and Central Asian melodies, skilfully played onweird instruments and sung with quaint vocal techniques. Probably thiswas when G. Popov fully realized the inseparable unity of ethnic wisdomand electronics as the true folklore of the 21st century.
As the nineties were wrapping up their legacy OMFO focused onhis solo project, Our Man from Odessa,collaborating with various electronic labels. Most of his early workswere released on the small Dutch label Kidnap,founded and run by members of the ex-Soviet diaspora. During thisperiod he also collaborated with a controversial diva from the remoterepublic of Tuva Sainkho Namchilak - travelling theworld and playing at big international venues.
As the new millennium kicked in, G. Popov and his friendsfound a new platform for their futuristic vision of sound and music.This is how Solaris was born. Presented not asrecord label, but as an art lab, this project was clearly inspired byRussian constructivism and utopian romanticism. The glamorous alias OurMan from Odessa gradually turns into the more succinct andenigmatic OMFO.
During this period, OMFO comes into reactive contact withprojects and artists such as Metamatics, Aavikoo,Jimpster, CiM and FelixKubin. All these names appeared on Solaris’releases such as Aelita, Cheap ElectricParadise and Omnipresence. Musicdistributors and record shop owners still treat these impeccablydesigned albums as collector’s items.
A few years ago OMFO was contacted by VladimirLomberg a like-minded person who was invisibly present behindvarious projects including Solaris and Kidnap. He put OMFO in touchwith Essay Recordings - a record label that isexploring the hidden potential of Eastern European music. OMFO's worksbegan with a successful remix of a track written by Shantelthe man who pioneered the fusion of Balkan music with electronic beats.
After the remix was included in the internationally acclaimed BucovinaClub album, OMFO was commissioned by Essay to work on his newalbum. Responding to the demand for something new in this field, OMFOcreated Trans Balkan Express. Shortly after itsrelease this album became popular throughout Europe and beyond, scoringhits; it was played on the radio and covered by the media.
Experimenting with fresh concepts and ideas, OMFO immediatelydistanced himself from the rest of the producers working in this genre.The peculiar and somewhat humorous vision of a Carpathian villager,playing a native tune on an analogue synthesizer, made OMFO's musicnatural and accessible for people from all walks of life and religiousor ethnic backgrounds. Only this quality could attract an audience thatincludes criminals, shepherds, astronomers as well as taxi drivers andeven terrorists. Regardless of the simplicity of the album, many musiccritics hailed Trans Balkan Express as cuttingedge.
The songs from Trans Balkan Express were licensed by otherlabels and included in various compilations. It also came to theattention of famous comedian Sasha Baron Cohen better known as AliG. Two tracks from OMFO's album arefeatured in the new 20th Century Fox film production Borat's'Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of Glorious Nation ofKazakhstan'.
Due to its very strong Arabic influence, one track called Bagdubwas not included on the album. It was released by Dorfmeister’sG-Stone Recordings, becoming one of the most outstandingtracks of the Dub Club compilation.
Last spring G. Popov was introduced to SeñorCoconut himself. The Sound Wizard kindly agreed toparticipate in the production of the new OMFO album. Separated by theAtlantic Ocean but united by a common goal, the two men started toexchange midi and audio files, to manipulate sounds, pushing to thelimits of their software and hardware. As a result of their efforts,the album was ready within one month! Under the name We arethe Shepherds, this project became the logical continuationof the previous Trans Balkan Express. The ironic reference to Kraftwerkin both titles was intended to underline the electronic concept ofmusic.
To promote his projects, OMFO put together a line-up of fiveextraordinary people: the Transylvanian gypsy wunderkind VasileNedea on cimbalom and accordion, the Azeri sci-fi writer andvirtuoso Rassul Kazimov on tar and guitar, thefreedom fighter and storyteller Bakhtiyar Eybaliyevas percussionist and singer, often compared to a nightingale, and FayLovsky, The Lady from Beyond, who plays extremely rareinstruments such as theremin and the singingsaw, adding an eerie and mysterious mood to the music. Allthese musicians took part in the recording of We are theShepherds.
The spectrum of OMFO's works is wide. He produces soundtracksfor adult video clips and composes jingles for Turkmenradio stations. OMFO contributed his tracks to the russianmade blockbuster 'Manga' by Pyotr Khazizov.For the Venice biennale he wrote the soundtrack forthe first ever Central Asian pavilion. Also, OMFO gives solo concertsand performs as a sound artist, as well as collecting field recordings.One of the new forms of using sound by OMFO is creation of a“sonic horoscopes” which are a peculiar way oflinking astrology and music. In order to able to present his musicalideas avoiding European stereotypes he is constantly searching for theright venues and conditions to present his music to the audience. Thisbrings OMFO in interaction with art galleries, theatres, cinemas,planetariums and botanical gardens.
OMFO is now looking forward to your comments and suggestions.
Atom™ on OMFO and their collaboration
When listening to OMFO for the first time, I wassurprised about the fact that someone was working on a similar 'theme'with me, yet dedicated to a totally different cultural zone. At firstglance, what OMFO does seems to be so far away from, for example, mywork with Sr. Coconut, Lisa Carbon or projects such as 'Flanger', yetto me that difference does not really exist. It is music that somehowdenies the dominance of certain cultural stereotypes by bending andtwisting them into something that appears to be familiar, yet isn't. Itis music that questions both familiar locations in time and space andexpands them towards new horizons. Musical themes and topics thatseemed to be lost in time and were already closed away in dark,abandoned closets of history are brought back as a valid option, as anew path we may start to take NOW. At the same time what we arelistening to evokes a certain doubt inside us: is it fiction, or fact?We seem to be able to pin the music down to a territory or, if notthat, at least to a historical moment, while at the same time we cannot be 100% sure if it is reality talking, or just what we thinkreality is...a mere projection born deep inside us, fuelled by longingsor prejudice. On a purely musical level OMFO knows which territories,both in form and content, he is walking through and this is whatenables him to be playful.
The production was done entirely by sendingaudio data back and forth between Amsterdam and Santiago and hundredsof phone conversations, talking about which steps to take for whichsongs. In spite of the distance, I think we developed the final pictureof the album together, inspiring us back and forth, playing verbal andnon-verbal 'ping pong' of ideas. Santiago, 11/09/2006
The press on OMFO
The press on 'Trans Balkan Express' (Essay Recordings AY CD02)
It’s rumored that cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the firstman in space, came from a family of shepherds. Forget space travel andmoon landings, the very idea that dub pioneer Lee“Scratch” Perry can live on the surface ofSwitzerland, opens a universe of musical possibilities.O.M.F.O.’s merging of Eastern folk and Kraftwerkian dub onthe Essay label is therefore only as surprising as, say, finding Osamabin Laden in his cave listening to Joe Meek.(PopMatters D.M. Edwards, 9january 2007)
Could German Popov be the Señor Coconut of theBalkan states? Our Man From Odessa is armed with a trusty 808, avocoder and lots of digital synths to create a disc that is bothentirely sincere and a freakin’ riot at the same time. Onecould imagine these ultra clean digital versions of traditional andpost-modern Balkan sketches being PSAs on a state run radio station ora floor-filler in some breathlessly hip Brooklyn club. I've yet to heara neo-electro album that so successfully balances the robotic fun ofdrum machines with such inspired songcraft. It’s not allwhimsy though 'Cucoo Dub' is one of the great dub tracks so far thisyear. (Exclaim)
With flutes and stringed instruments, Jamaican dub techniques,laptop producing, kosmonautic lyricism and electronic soundengineering, Trans Balkan Express mixes the musical spice of theSoutheastern European provinces with the club culture of the West.O.M.F.O. travels from Amsterdam via Berlin to the hinterlands of theEU, the Karpates, the Black Sea, right into the front garden of Asia.The result is an album featuring music located somewhere in-betweenspace and a Balkan wedding, happily ignoring musical boundaries of anykind.
Trans Balkan Express is where modernism dances with tradition, andwhere the 'old' Europe flows into the 'new.' (Tonevendor)

Is there such a thing as traditional Eastern Europeanelectronica? There is now! The album varies from knees up music to softand gentle, beautiful melodies, but all done in such a unique style.You’re unlikely to hear anything quite like this anywhereelse. (smallfish.co.uk)
A great album and one of the best examples of how traditionwith modern rhythm makes a perfect marriage. (Progressive Homestead)
German Popov pulls off a startling stunt here. The Kraftwerknod of the title hints at what's inside - sharply flavoured EastEuropean instruments and melodies getting a highly tweaked electrotreatment. Add to that a penchant for Jamaican riddims and dubproduction and you've got an incongruous amalgam that works amazinglywell. (RupertBottenberg/Montreal Mirror)
