‘Live at Lounge O (Tokyo, Japan) by moments of truth is out now in digital format on Bandcamp and most other major online platforms.

From a kitchen in Tokyo to the Fuji Rock Festival, moments of truth fashioned and presented their own thought-provoking take on electronica – formed from raw sound, raw emotion, and the belief that the dance floor can be a place for exploring some of the most difficult and important topics we face as human beings.

Blake Cunningham guided the narrative with his inspired use of vocal samples, accents, and leads. Conoley Ospovat’s dance textures and grooves provided the vehicle underneath.

Despite numerous rehearsal and live recordings, moments of truth never committed anything to finality in the studio. ‘Live At Lounge O (Tokyo, Japan)’ includes two of their signature songs recorded live on October 15, 2004. This represents the first official moments of truth release.

Make You Move EP – Conoley Ospovat (cdrift.011)

                                                       detailed and full of texture

                    close my eyes feel and see rivers,

                                   skies, and galaxies more vivid, epic, and colourful than in reality

everything ends up feeling surreal due to the heavily electronic sound.

Make You Move will be released on 180 gram vinyl on Bandcamp and in select music stores on November 28, 2017.

Layers Of Time – Conoley Ospovat (cdrift.010)

detailed and full of texture; close my eyes feel and see rivers,
skies, and galaxies that are more vivid, epic, and colourful than in reality.
everything ends up feeling surreal due to the heavily electronic sound.
Images are intense and colourful; rivers turn into living flows of energy,
skies turn into dimensional planes, galaxies turn into energy particle clouds,
vocals turn into the voices of higher beings, air bubbles in water become
energy bubbles in another universe; move in a physics-defying way
depending on where the music directs them.

Music is always connected to nature.
Takes the listener on a trip away from this very world and into something
deeper.

Re-Desire Me EP – Fantom Tremors (cdrift.009)

Romance. Confusion. Estrangement. Separation. Fear, and love. Weekly sessions. Daily visits. Sunshine and wind; open and locked doors – all with keys. Sometimes rivers appear to flow upstream.  Sometimes beautiful things emerge from tortured cocoons.

Artwork courtesy of Nathan Stock.  Mastered by Suite Sound Labs.  Fantom Tremors is Brendan Lee and Conoley Ospovat.  Vocals: Maiya Hirose and Conoley Ospovat.

Re-Desire Me will be available in digital format on Bandcamp and most other online stores on March 21, 2017.

Scenes In The Sky EP (cdrift.008)

These songs were written in Tokyo in 2011/2012.  Never knowing when another aftershock might move us again.  Managing fear, practicing compassion, and staying positive in a volatile environment.  Dreams often provided refuge.  In one there was beautiful, soothing music.  The music was being articulated by evolving, abstract scenes in an enchantingly blue sky.

Scenes In The Sky will be available in digital format in most online stores on January 17, 2017.
