The
history
2021. After a few years of very small
autoproduction of CD-Rs and tapes, label thinking-head and artistic
director Tom Val produced a
lathe cut of the first Orion Music
Workshop's LP, Atmosôn.
Les Disques Omnison was born. Omni could mean « Objectif musical non identifié »
or be a synonym of « poly »,
« son » is obviously
french for « sound ».
Then the rest is history, next release was the 2nd LP of my Orion Music
Workshop project, Mâlemort,
for the first time getting a small local distribution in Paris &
co, playing live… After those Tom Val's
records, Turner Williams Jr.
was the first artist signed to the catalogue, with his fantastic Ensoleillée, then Leandro Barzabal & Céleste Gatier’s for their stunning Meditate & Destroy. We did more
LP, with Shelter, Turner, also with Lotte Van Dyck for Tone Vitmn C… Organizing some
parties in London (with Infinite
Expanse) and Paris (with Stereogramme),
co-produced two LPs with Shelter’s Protopost
label and that’s how the first 10 Omnison
were born. We are happy that all of our releases made their way through
home of people we love and people we’ve been respecting for years.
People we know, people we don’t. What’s the next steps ? We don't
really know. Records we released are, we hope, eternally living in your
home and in your mind. At least they’re living forever in ours.
