What is OACEM ?
OACEM is for Oto Acoustic Emissions.
It focuses on the relation between electronic structures and acoustic sounds, and explores the potential of sound to re-de-construct ideas.
Music characterized by the heavy use of field recordings, signature structures, and a metaphysical concern for the relationship between spatiality and sounds.
Inspired by the phenomenology of space, OACEM has carved captivating compositions that question the logic of musical progression inherent to the linear trajectory of time.

Oto Acoustic Emissions takes us on a journey through hurricanes and thunderstorms.
Loose Lips, 2019
nous sommes totalement absorbé·e·s par la grande quantité de sons qui s’imbriquent et se repoussent simultanément. […] Nous ne pouvions tout simplement pas passer sous silence une musique aussi variée et sophistiquée. C’est exactement le genre de défi qui plaira à tous les mélomanes en quête d’une déroute musicale de haut niveau.
Mes Enceintes Font Défaut, 2020
