Conoley Ospovat

Conoley has spent a large part of his life in Tokyo/Japan, where he was deeply enmeshed in and helped shape its fascinating underground dance music scene. Regularly playing at Tokyo’s most iconic clubs and at festivals of all sizes in the forests and mountains of Japan, his sound is profoundly influenced by this intersection of city, nature, and mind. Hypnotic, groovy techno performances that are entirely self-produced and improvised take the audience on a journey through texture and emotion, to distant places, and back home again. These musical journeys weave together the variety of styles that comprise his vast and growing catalog of original material. Drawing from a diverse range of influences including techno, house, early electronica, synth-pop, post-punk, jazz, and improvisational jam bands, Ospovat creates uplifting dance music that is an interpretation of the world in sound. From hardware synthesizers and drum machines to ethnic acoustic instruments, field recordings, and chopped-up audio to guitars and vocals; Ospovat brings a finely-honed musical sense to his productions and live performances based on more than 25 years in the studio and on stage. He has worked, played, and learned with Move D, Pier Bucci, Gerald Mitchell (Los Hermanos), and John Tejada. He has shared bills with Extrawelt, The Wighnomy Brothers, John Tejada, Guillaume and the Coutu Dumonts, Robag Wruhme, DJ Nobu, Modern Deep Left Quartet, Akufen, Aril Brikha, and Marc Schneider. Conoley Ospovat delivers a live-performed set of all original music for Bespoke Musik.
