For the upcoming Album on Sub Rosa, Pavel Tchikov will join us at the Studio and will present some of the new tracks by the octet OGIVES.

Chamber music, loud riffs, pure choirs, electronic textures, OGIVES is a myriad of contrasts.

The classical composing techniques such as tintinnabuli, polytonality and polyphony intertwine the post-rock legacy, while the electronic textures of modular synths embrace the pure classical female vocals.

Moreover OGIVES' music finds its inspiration in the ancient European music and in its inherent spirituality. Byzantine chants, baroque counterpoints, Old Roman monodies all are elements in the background of the band's composing style.

OGIVES' roots are lying in the legacy of numerous artists such as Arvo Pärt, Swans, Low, Steve Reich, Coil, Iannis Xenakis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Tool, Autechre, King Crimson, John Zorn, Amenra, Einstürzende Neubauten, Extra Life, Mono, Neurosis, Floating Points, etc.
