Otomax Debut Album Magazine

Dear all, we are OTOMAX.

4 years ago we started an electronic lo-fi circuit bending improv band of five contemporary artists. We make music but we also do collaborative (sound-)art projects.

As an improv band we depend on the creative input of each member. Every artist uses his set of specialized skills to adapt and use his or her instrumentals in an original way with collaboration in mind.

To keep our experimentation level fit and challenge ourselves as an improv band, setting up the band started with 1 fundamental rule;
— Each song may only last 5 minutes! —
By use of a timer we commit ourselves to this rule, sometimes exceeding the time limit (because the groove is just too good!).

Every time we start a new song, we start a new creative journey in order to make sweet weird grooves to make you move!

We have been performing at many art venues and music events in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland throughout the last 4 years and we’ve always managed to surprise the audience (in a good way)!

Every 5 minute improv we have ever done has been live recorded track by track and mastered.

WHAT WE’RE FUNDING FOR:

Because our skill in collaborating and composing on the go kept on improving we now have come to the moment of making a selection of ‘BEST OF’S’ and present it on a LP record (with many new exclusive mastered live recordings)!

With the income of our live-performances we had the costs of the 500 LP record pressings covered, except for the outer sleeve.

Our idea is to create a sleeve sized magazine (held together with plastic sleeve protectors) to contain the record.

This booklet will be full of awesome collage’s made by the artists representing what the band is made of!

Unfortunately the production of this sleeve-magazine exceeds the bands budget with 1100 euro’s ex. transfer costs. This is the amount of money we need to create the ‘epic’ piece of work we have in mind.

We will be releasing the album at the 15th of may at the Jan van Eyck in Maastricht (free entrance).
