about

An Omen, was a phenomenon that refers to the advent of a change. In ancient Roman and Greek cultures, sounds were interpreted to determine the will of the gods and predict possible futures.

Omen is José Venditti's first full-length studio album, after the release of several digital EP's (Audiotalaia, 2019), Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for Dear Werner, the cassette release of live performances such as the Concerto para Plantas (Crystal Mine, 2019) exhibited at the MACBA, or the cassette The Broken Hill resulting from the live performance with Javi Cruz at the Reina Sofia National Museum (Crystal Mine, 2022).

Omen is an album composed of 7 sound pieces that seek to generate in the listener states of uncertainty and urgency, the sensation of something that is yet to come and that forces them to imagine possibilities, it is the sound representation of an Omen.

Omen is also the result of 3 years of work around the search for new sonorities with the saxophone, modular synthesizer, field recordings, percussion instruments and a special interest in dissociating sounds from the sound sources they come from, mixing them, confusing them until blurring their limits.

The work process itself has been the search for something without certainties, something that is arriving and never arrives, the beat of a techno song that never drops, in a state of waiting where the kick or the crash never arrives.
