OKAPI: World PREMIERE

Written by . Posted on February 7, 2012. Filed under boomarm. 1 Comment.

I have been a long time fan of the work of Italian Turntablist / Sampler / Sound Artist Filippo Paolini AKA - OKAPI.  My first run in with his rich blend of glitchy micro sampled classical music, and superb orchestral moodiness was on his 2005 full length "Wheres The Beef". (Recommended!)  

OKAPI is a maestro of the  sample. Twisting hundreds of tiny sounds into a dense and emotive fabric, rich with as much left-field avant leanings as micro techno head nods. We dig..! Heady but also for the heads.

The good folks at the ILLEGAL ART Label have asked us to participate in the release of OKAPI's new opus OPERA RIPARATA. The music will be released in a staggered simulcast of 3-5 song batches once a week for the next several weeks via various online music hubs.

Boomarm Nation is stoked to present to you the 4th instalation of OKAPi's OPERA RIPARATA.
