OBYONETAOPY's MUSIC makes you think of Andreï TARKOWSKI's movies, the GENIUS VISUAL POET of Russian Cinema whom made : NOSTALGIA & STALKER and so many other Chefs d'Oeuvres.

Listening to OBYONETAOPY's MUSIC, is like watching an Andreï's TARKOWSKI film, we find in OBYONETAOPY's Music, the same PLEASURE, the same COLORS, and we have the same SENSATIONS of MAKING ONE with the UNIVERSAL BEAUTY in HIDING in each little corners of NATURE ...

and as for the FILMS of Andreï TARKOWSKI, the MUSIC of OBYONETAOPY is either LIKED or DISLIKED but there is no LUKE WARM feelings toward it whatsoever......

OBYONETAOPY, like a heart beat in deep connection with his Life in LIFE, emphasize profond vibrations, sculpts the differences of sounds with what they have complementary and he knows very well how to FUSION in Intense an Alliance between the différents instruments with an agility out of the common that curls up with ease the GRAND ŒUVRE of MUSICAL ALCHIMY, so much his albums OPEN seems all in Etherical domaines différents each times.

and all of its ALBUMS could very well be listened on after another, without any BREAKS in its AMBIENT style, most Psychedelic Shamanic...
