"This is the debut of Oni Ayhun. It is the first release in an unpredictable and neverending 12" series on the self-titled label, Oni Ayhun Records. OA's music is (about) drama. OA makes records that combine disturbed dance music on the border of insanity with free dreamy drone stories without a beat. OA tries to find new structures of music in a cinematic dramaturgy and collage way of working, and wants to create emotional music that gets your mind going. Like a surrealistic musical with a narrative based on associations, abstractions and confusions, the music is a journey through different settings and scenes. Each record features a handmade engraving, unique for each release. OAR001-A is an attempt to tame cheesy fusion-jazz into a new free fusion between sharp electronics and organic textures, elastic funk and rubber set in an odd, shady environment. Is it a big animal playing its nose, a beast, or is it the myth about the ant-eater trying to play its tail? OAR001-B: is it the bees humming about their life by the concrete factory? Or is it about the people living under acid rain singin' their story? Or is it just diary notes from OA's everyday life?"

"'Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a mystical city called Tar. And at that time, all the cities were intact and flourishing -- there were no ruins, because the final war had not yet begun. When the great catastrophe occurred, all the cities crumbled. Except Tar. Tar still exists. If you know where to look for it, you will find it. And when you get there, you will be presented with wine and water, and you could play with a gramophone. When you get there, you will help harvest grapes and you will pick up scorpions hidden under white rocks. When you get there, you will know eternity. You'll see a bird that drinks one drop of water from the ocean every hundred years. When you get there, you'll understand life. You'll become a cat, phoenix, swan, elephant, baby and an old man. You'll be alone and accompanied. You'll love and be loved, you'll be everywhere, and yours will be the seal of seals. As you approach the future, you'll find ecstasy, and it will never abandon you.' --(From Alexander Jodorowky's Fando y Lis, 1968) This second release from Oni Ayhun is a 22:44 min long story, split on two sides."
