“Shadow Work”- Oji

The unique artist and producer Oji offers us a new musical proposal for 2020, “Shadow works”. This track is part of his latest record production Sono´Theism. This album is an interesting combination of different styles like experimental music, new age, psychedelic and Hip Hop. The music is dedicated to the art of meditation.

Oji’s music is full of cultural symbols charged with spirituality. His work proposes the experimentation of acoustic and electronic sounds, which focus on recreating a very specific ultra-sensory environment. Meditation and connection with divine energies is essential in his artistic projection. The interrelation of his artistic-sensory expression is mostly a mix of music, visual art and dance.

“Shadow Works” stands out as a very well developed musical elaboration. This work seems to be inspired by musical trends such as Aleatoricism, Musique Concrète and Electroacoustic, deeply psychedelic and experimental. In addition, Oji exploits his rap influences using dissimilar vocal projections, which fit perfectly with the exotic sounds typical of psychedelic and new age music.

The sound of this artist is extremely attractive in these times of excessive commercial music. Although this music could be strange and different for some listeners, it is only a sample of unique expression and evident artistic quality.

However, it is quite difficult to popularize or monetize these types of expressions, but there are always spaces in the music industry that could be interested. Oji’s musical art could have good opportunities in the field of cinema and television.

La música de Oji está llena de simbolismos culturales cargados de espiritualidad.

Especialmente “Shadow Works”, despunta como una elaboración musical muy bien desarrollada. Una obra que parece estar inspirada en tendencias musicales como el aleatorismo, la música concreta y la electroacústica, profundamente sicodélica y experimental.
