about

Back in 2020, OEM Compilation 1 started as a way to offer the experimental musicians of Ottawa a space to virtually share their creations. COVID took away the opportunity to experience that creative drive in person but the Compilation provided a different kind of space; not a replacement for in-person experiences but not a distant second choice either. OEM Compilation I provided many windows into the Ottawa experimental music scene while also offering all proceeds to local charities. OEM Compilation II Side A and Side B, open many more windows not only into Ottawa but across the river, and around the world as well. This release also marks the 10th anniversary of OEM's existence.

The inspiration and power of the solstice sun shines brightly on this release day. It highlights the remarkable talent that has been revealed in OEM Compilation II. There is vast and immense talent in this new compilation. Each contribution shines as a reflection of drive, will, and creativity.

Enjoy the collective space of OEM Compilation II alone with a set of headphones, organize an intimate listening party, or blast the sonic selections across the city, and beyond! Let the music resonate far and wide! -Lloyd Keane

Please be sure to click on each track to find out more about the track and the artist/band.

All proceeds from the sale of OEM Compilation II have been donated to Kids Help Phone (kidshelpphone.ca). We had to end the fundraiser earlier than expected as Bandcamp has implemented a new tax rule that requires users to submit tax information if an artist or organization earns or will likely earn more than $600 in a calendar year. As OEM does not make money from releasing these compilations or selling merch, we wanted to avoid doing this. In total, fans and artists were able to raise $479.21!

Special thanks to graphic artist Exovedate for the incredible album covers and all other artwork associated with this release. An interesting note about the image used in the design is that it is based on a photo taken on the corner of Bank Street or Elgin, in Ottawa, way back when. To follow or contact Exovedate for any graphic needs please check out the Instagram page here: www.instagram.com/exovedate/.

Special thanks to all the artists who contributed a track to the compilation. Your music matters and is food for the soul.

It has been a great experience getting to interact with so many people over the past 10 years. The OEM page started out as just a place to interact with like minded music lovers and it soon blossomed into a hub for artists, promoters, pr, and venues. What a ride it has been. Thank you!!

nothing but victims left
by ænorex

supported by 4 fans who also own “OEM Comp II [Side A]”

There are many haunting riffs on this record--sequences of notes with nothing behind them but atmosphere--that seem somehow related. I don't know if it's in my head or it's some kind of musical trick,but they seem so closely related that I found myself checking if the piano riff at 3:49 of funeral][am was the same series of notes at the beginning of dispassion, or if either of them was the same as the one in carri on. They're not, but they call each other to mind and unify the record. It's great 12212012
