Revisited is a rethought, reworked, remastered - revisited - second incarnation of the well-received, quite rare 2006 release Estraier .
Revisited is an aural travelogue of Ovro's Russian minitour of 2006 (with Niko Skorpio as a travel companion and on-stage bass-abuser / guest vocalist) with a tad of location recordings in Turku and a backbone of later studio material.
CD is packed in beautiful 4-panel digisleeve. Edition of 1000 copies.
cheerfulThey're Here! - Revisited & Half Born in Half Light
22 July 2008| 10:14 am
Waking up today was easier than most mornings - courier arrived early, carrying boxes filled with Some Place Else's two latest releases! These are, of course, my Revisited and Niko Skorpio's Half Born in Half Light.
Ordering isn't possible quite as yet, so you'll just have to wait for a while to get your hands on these two. The Some Place Else site will have information on and I'll post ordering information here, too.

Buzzing...
02 July 2008| 04:15 am
The arrival of summer brought along a wave of inspiration. Being prone to sprees of artistic monomania, my hours at home are spent either stuck in the studio or sleeping. A tad too litter of the latter, I'm afraid. There are more tracks demanding being made than waking hours available - not that I'm really complaining, having spent way too long a time doing practically nothing musicwise.
As a little taster of what's been cooked up lately, there's a brand new track (note: more or less still a demo) up at Ovrian MySpace.
Uh-oh, it seems to be about time (read: it was about time few hours ago) for me to get to bed... More news on releases front when there's news to tell!

Grand Re-Opening!
08 May 2008| 12:22 am
For quite a long time my site simply said:
It turned out to be a longer while than I had intended... Then, having to do something as my school's portfolio class assignment, kicked me back into site-building gear and the results are out there for all to see.
So, it's time for a grand re-opening! It's an all new site, with loads of new information on releases and past gigs & whatnot! go forth and peruse!
artisticSomething Old Turned Something New
25 March 2008| 03:46 am
2007 flew past without a single Ovrian release - or gig, for that matter. However, I didn't just settle down living quietly in the countryside, forgetting about the follies of making music! While keeping a (relatively) low profile, I've been working. Mostly on non-solo stuff, but still.
Some fruits of this work is coming out in 2008. One of them is the 7” that’s going to come out on Drone Records (see their site for up-to-date news on when its coming out). Another one is the “something old turned something new” mentioned in the topic.
In 2006 I put out a very limited edition CDr called Estraier, an aural travelogue of my Russian mini-tour (with Niko Skorpio aiding me on stage). The CDr was sent to those who pre-ordered Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea 2EP, with a small number of copies given away to Russian gig organizers and a few copies sold to those who knew to ask for it. This CDr was well received and there were queries about releasing it properly. I wasn’t quite as easily talked into that as with the “first release consisted only one copy” Gegendurchgangenzeit, but mulling the thought over, decided to take a new look at the material and seeing what would happen.
What happened is a seven track album (Estraier consisting of six tracks) called Revisited. It is still an aural travelogue and the opening track stayed pretty much the same – the rest of it got reworked. Revisited will be released on Some Place Else this year, “soon” as the Management says. Stay tuned for further info! There’s a taster track available at myspace, do give it a listen.
Oh, sorry about the state of my site, that will get a fresh look in April.
(but a tad tired)New Release Coming Up!
04 November 2007| 11:30 am
Now that the news is up at Drone Records site, it's finally time for me to dare mentioning it myself!
There'll be a new Ovro 7", Horizontal / Vertical coming out on Drone Records this winter! A taster is available at my myspace thingy.
When it comes to other releases - well, we'll see what'll happen...

The Wire & a T-Shirt
20 June 2007| 05:36 am
June 2007 issue of The Wire did a review on LARM: From Mouth Cavity to Laptop double CD (check the LARM site for information on the album), noting my contribution as follows: "Ovro's dark "Mortal Strangers" is a compelling canter through an electronic forest." Nice to be noted, in such a positive way!
On other news, there'll be a Ovro T-shirt available at Some Place Else Shop soon. To wear me over your heart, do place a pre-order. The shop info will tell you how to do it. D'sign by yours truly, here's what it'll look like:
and the back will sport the SPE logo. A T-shirt, my my. I'm feeling like a rock star!
Niko Skorpio has made some very good looking tees with his sigil, as well as a few Thergothon shirts.

Something new, for a change. A track called "Vertical" got uploaded to MySpace yesterday. Better tell about it a tad late than never, yes?

For Your Watching Pleasure (or something of the kind)
16 May 2007| 05:18 pm
For those of you who either dislike MySpace or can't view videos over there, a mysterious critter called "SPEMedia" has uploded my "Equation Impossible" video to YouTube. See it, comment as ye will, here or there.

It's Out.

Preorders have been sent out and received. The release is now available for general public (of course, without the bonus CDR...).
If you're one of those who already have Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea, feel free to post a comment on it on SPE forum. :)
Equation Impossible in Moving Images
03 September 2006| 06:09 pm
Every artist should have a video out, they say. So, I made my own!
My first ever take on video making (excluding one made for gigs) is now up at MySpace. Don't expect lip-sync or anybody pretending to sing or play an instrument... ;)
Huge thank you to the track's male vocalist, who also acted on the video and co-shot it. Couldn't have done it without you, Niko Skorpio!

The new Ovro album consists of two distinct parts, each independent yet linked to each other. Ovro started working on Mosaick the Serpent already in late 2003. In the early stage it was to become an independent EP, but the appearance of Gegendurchgangenzeit delayed its release. Meanwhile, a companion EP started to take form, namely Vipera Aurea. These two EPs, Mosaick and Vipera, are twins – independent yet entwined like the snakes of a caduceus. They support and compliment each other and form a new whole, a third being that contains both its makers and in itself is something more. Vipera Aurea is ´coagula´ to Mosaick the Serpent\'s ´solve´.
Some of this material has been performed on Ovro´s live performances in 2005/06. Those lucky to have witnessed any of these will know the album is calm yet intense, vocal-flavoured Dark Ambient mindscapes in the highly regarded Ovrian style.
Mosaic the Serpent / Vipera Aurea features contributions from Massimo of Black Sun Productions, Niko Skorpio and Mockingwyrd (Kaaos in Eccentris etc).
Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea CD comes with two gorgeous 12-panel foldout sleeves, full of lyrics, liner notes, photos and artwork all created by Ovro herself.
PRE-ORDER edition includes exclusive CDR called Estraier.
Tracklist:
1: Sidéral
2: Conpulsions
3: Iconoduliclasm
4: Repositions
5: Marqaha
6: Altarai
Estraier is an aural travelogue from Ovro´s Russian tour (March 2006), a wonderful dark-ambient album, masterfully crafted out of location recordings. Estraier is a 35-minute trip to Russia and way beyond. It would definitely deserve to be heard by a wider audience, but respecting Ovro´s plan it is offered as an exclusive bonus item only!
The pre-order offer is available until September 11th, after which the pre-orders will be shipped and Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea will become available to wholesale dealers etc. (without bonuses).

Sort of, at least.
Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea double-EP is finally heading towards the factory next week. So, this particular beast should be out and about in August.
Pre-ordering information will be posted later on when the time is riper, but I can tell this much: there'll be extra goodies included.

Upcoming Release a Step Closer
05 June 2006| 05:19 pm
Right. Having just handed over master copies of Mosaick the Serpent / Vipera Aurea double-EP to Mr. Some Place Else, I'm beginning to realize that that's it with that release. Music-wise that is. No more fiddling with the sound material, doing "just one little change" - or simply sitting on it. The feeling is one of relief, but also somewhat nervous.
Next up: fine-tuning the covers...
