Recorded live in Placard #7 Headphone Festival, Helsinki, Finland on May
22, 2004.

Ovro starts quietly and calmly, gradually raising volume and tension.
Her brand of uneasy listening combines digital sound manipulation,
creepy soundscapes and ominous(?!?) vocals to invoke a multitude of
feelings and a view to a world where not everything is right.

The artists change on the fly, and their sets are welded seamlessly
together by an improvised piece performed together as SkorpiOvro.

Niko Skorpio presents his mix of dark ambience, sample-ridden
psychedelia and heavy broken rhythms in a dynamic, morphing form.
Towards the end Niko invokes his twisted digital-grindcore alter ego
Reptiljan that vomits a short, fierce attack of blastbeats and breaks &
noise. Reptiljan provided the sounds for what was perhaps the first ever
incident of stage-diving in the history of Placard!

Placard is a new kind of festival where people come with their
headphones to sit down and actually listen to the music. The venues also
provide MP3 or Ogg Vorbis live streams to other listening rooms
("placards") out there. Placard #7 was a three-month, non-stop,
self-organising festival of headphones listening taking place across the
globe and streamed online. The particular event where this recording was
captured, was held in an apartment in Helsinki, with listening slots in
France, Belgium and Italy.


Niko Skorpio and Ovro continue their work both solo and together as
Skorp-i-Ovro. They are also involved in a number of other projects and
groups (Kaaos In Eccentris, Rajapïnta, Reptiljan etc.) and collaborate
with several artists worldwide.

Future releases:
Niko Skorpio : The Hidden Nameless (album, Foreshadow Productions,
Poland, December 2004)
Ovro : Mosaick the Serpent (EP, Some Place Else, Finland, early 2005)
