about

After two albums as Manufacture De Orion on Tom Val Records in 2020, this underground lo-fi spiritual jazz entity reborned as Orion Music Workshop on his new album Atmosôn.

This new album, made of four intense and elevating songs, was released in very limited edition vinyl of 20 copies on the small private press label Les Disques Omnison and distributed by Tom Val Records.

Future cult or forever underground ?

French liner notes by Maximilien / Oedipe Purple :

«S'échapper, se perdre, emprunter des voies détournées, c'est le chemin proposé ici par l’Orion Music Workshop, entité unipersonnelle dirigée par Tom Val. Les oreilles aventureuses avaient déjà croisé son nom via ses chouettes cassettes auto-produites. Une grotte de l'imaginaire, un univers flou où l'aventure règne, où vient se nicher l'esprit dada. Entre caresses subtiles, collages bruts ou percussions jouant des thèmes ancestraux, il se dégage de ce noble bricolage sonore une volonté de dépasser la machine. Ce jeune homme de son temps sait qu'il faut tenir la modernité à distance et n'utilise l'ordinateur qu'en dernier outil. Jouir des possibilités modernes mais privilégier l'âme des choses, des premières intentions, du premier geste fondateur. La jeunesse sonique fouille le passé et se passionne pour l'artisan sonore chercheur d'inouï, pour l'improvisation chère aux pionniers du free jazz et de l'avant garde. L'art (brut) de notre Homme Orchestre sur ce premier album est la technique du re-recording, qui nous permet ici d'entendre un vrai groupe. Loin des ordinateurs rutilants, un gang de trois ou quatre illuminés s'échangent selon l'humeur flûtes, appeaux, gongs et bols tibétains. Ces rêveurs d'un autre temps sont partis loin sur Atmosôn, la carte semble indiquer le Moyen-Orient mais la prochaine note vous embarque déjà en Asie Mineure. Les repères se brouillent, la cérémonie se veut totale, le voyage aussi. Invoquons l'esprit de William S. Burroughs, des musiciens de Jajouka pour décrire ce baptême discographique. Les agapes semblent avoir lieu sur une île perdue où l'esprit de Ghédalia Tazartès jouerait avec Pascal Comelade au fin fond de l'Océanie. Mais c'est encore bien plus que cela.»

English translation :

«To escape, to get lost, to take detours, this is the path offered here by the Orion Music Workshop, unipersonal entity headed by Tom Val. Adventurous ears had already come across his name via his nice self-produced cassettes. A cave of the imagination, a vague universe where adventure reigns, where the dadaism spirit comes to nest. Between the subtle caresses, raw collages or percussions playing ancestral themes, this noble musical do-it-yourself emerges from a desire to go beyond the machine. This young man of his time knew that modernity had to be kept at a distance and only used the computer as a last tool. To enjoy modern possibilities but to privilege the soul of things, of the first intentions, of the first founding gesture. The sonic youth digs into the past and is passionate about the sound craftsman seeking the unheard of, for the improvisation dear to the pioneers of the free jazz and avant-garde. The (outsider) art of our Man Orchestra on this first album is the technique of re-recording, which allows us here to hear a real band. Far from the gleaming computers, a gang of three or four moonstrucked people exchange flutes, bird calls, gongs and Tibetan bowls depending on their mood. These dreamers of another time have gone far away on Atmosôn, the map seems to indicate the Middle East but the next note already takes you to Asia Minor. The landmarks are blurred, the ceremony wants to be total, the trip too. Let us invoke the spirit of William S. Burroughs, of the Jajouka musicians to describe this discographic baptism. The agapes seem to take place on a lost island where the spirit of Ghédalia Tazartès would play with Pascal Comelade in the depths of Oceania. But it’s still much more than that.»
