This weeks featured Artist at Belgian Ambient:







OK so it became time I gave you a new featured artist. And this artist is really worth your attention. He plays a variety of styles going from breakcore to really beautiful ambient. But what really tickles my senses is the way he introduces acoustic instruments and post-rock in his electronica. It's not the obvious way of making drones with the guitar. He makes these beautiful melodies and wraps a nice electronic cloth around them.

Omyiga is a ‘hobby producer’ from Ghent, Belgium. In general he makes a mix between ambient, post-rock and electronica. You can find his music on http://www.myspace.com/omyiga and also on http://www.electrobel.be/artist/6365. His music is influenced by electronica/ambient artist like Helios, B. Fleischmann, Crisopa, múm, Eluvium and The Flashbulb as well as postrock bands such as such as Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai and Mono.

Recommended Listening:

When the sky bleeds
Drowning in a sea of people
We cannot defy it
My Hand Fell Asleep
