o.m.s. - n.m.a. dot be

about

o.m.s. - n.m.a. is one of many solo-projects of andy eeckhaut, located in east-flanders, belgium.

his first steps on the path of experimental music were taken someday back in 1998, after hearing a captivating track in a local record store.

this resulted in four tracks (a1. exordium, a2. das blümchen, a3. polyphonic afterbirth & a4. track 05) under the name "sonus". those tracks were formerly meant to support poems which actually never got written. due to this fact, the aspect of voice was never added. sonus turned mute...

the will to express himself experimentaly, never ceased to exist, and found its way out in other projects, although severly bound.

one day (fall/winter 2001), he got in touch with an analogue synthesizer simulation program... did some knob-turning... and the - since long - rejected sense for musical experimenting broke lose... o.m.s. - n.m.a. was born!

he did a short try-out show on new years eve 2001 in front of some friends... with a minimal setup... improvisation... the way it would remain... ranging from harsch noise, power electronics, dark ambient, to experimental soundworks, the live shows are always different... and the setup is never known until a few hours or even minutes before the show, even not to him...

in the meantime, a lot of good reactions came from all over the world, the first contributions on compilations, split releases,...
