about

OCA is a collaborative project by producer and musician Yo van Lenz (Through My Speakers, Monkeytown Records) and artist Florian T M Zeisig (Important Records/Cassauna, No Disk)

Their debut effort 'Preset Music' is the result of an engagement with freely available video and audio material on YouTube.com. The source material for these compositions - resulting in music in album-form – are videos by YouTuber's presenting synthesizers showcasing the instruments' preset settings.

At the intersection of music being presented in a certain framework, questions regarding musical quality, intentionality, virtuosity and purpose arise. The work ‘Preset Music’ engages with questions regarding compositional intentions. Notes, chords – and often times improvised snippets of music – are exclusively serving the purpose of showcasing the instrument itself.

‘Preset Music’ aims to display the juxtaposition of intentionality and non-intentionality in music and composition. With the gesture of intentionally sampling and composing, using non- intentional musical material – in the sense of purposive presentation regarding the instrument – the seven compositions stand in direct contrast to the. presenters’ original intentions.
