At the end of last year, the good folks at Denovali Records added Origamibiro to their roster and announced the release of the outfit’s fourth album. Odham’s Standard arrives on February 28th and ahead of it, Denovali have recently released Origamibiro’s entire back catalogue comprising the albums Cracked Mirrors and Stopped Clocks, Shakkei and Shakkei Remixed.
Initially started as the brainchild project of musician, soundtrack composer and producer Tom Hill, the project evolved into an audio-visual collective with the later addition of visual artist and filmmaker The Joy Of Box aka Jim Boxall and multi-instrumentalist Andy Tytherleigh. Origamibiro use unusual sources and ways to create music as the press release notes, and their live shows “involve treated books, typewriters, found celluloid, paper, eerie wildlife recordings, home movies, sellotape and bespoke visual contraptions”.
