about

Oöm

In late 2022, Emma Coleman, Phoebe Martha, Kate Mellors, Tara Reece, and Kate Smith met for one week in the woodlands outside Southampton to deep dive into vocal improv. In addition to singing to the trees and around the fire, we also went to the studio and recorded this incredible 6 track album of improvisations. In each piece 4 voices layer a chord one by one, then the first voice improvises a rhythmic loop, then the 5th voice explores and solos on top. The chord shifts with the solo, and collaboratively we find our way! The result is 5 pieces and a bonus track, each with a different soloistic flavour and chordal bed, and we are looking forward to sharing them with YOU!

This new form was invented by Emma, workshopped by us all in Portugal, and is affectionately (and utterly ridiculously) named 'Throbbing Column'... the chord column emerges and then pulses in rhythm.. yeeeesss!

It’s taken us a while to get to the point of release - including another residency together in Bristol in Spring 2023, followed by a week in Rotterdam in December, but we are finally ready to share our music with you.

Oöm is a collective of five women hailing from different locations, drawn together by their shared love of collaborative vocal improv. Meeting several times a year on creative residencies, the collective enjoys pushing at the edges of vocal improv, following threads which take their fancy, getting geeky, and probably a bit weird. Their signature sound tends to include delicious harmonic and rhythmic travels, experimental sounds, and stories spun from the air - with a healthy dose of comedy.

Oöm is Kate (Southampton, UK), Emma (Leeds, UK), Phoebe (London, UK), Tara (Rotterdamn, Netherlands) and Kate (Lisbon, Portugal)
