origami OLYMPIKA > next OLYMPIKA

---

or_/olympika creates a blend of noise music usually performed over a backdrop of religious fundamentalism and other sport events.

or_/olympika often performs music to silent movies, among their favourites is Riefenstahl's "Olympia".

or_/olympika started up by playing weird sounds from a balcony when thousands and thousands of women ran by in a marathon.

"Now I'm Gonna Start Watching Sports On TV!" - David A156 (or_/elliptika) after experiencing or_/olympika live

After another or_/olympika gig at origami's Klubb Kanin:
A173: "So, what do you think of the evening? Good show?"
A088: "Everything was good except origami."

Origami Olympika is part of the Origami Republika network. The band was founded in 2000 when they played pure noise from a balcony in Trondheim, in front of an audience of 8000 running women. Olympika has several times played live soundtracks to Leni Riefenstahls legendary films Olympia I - fest der vˆlker and Olympia II - fest der schˆnheit, in different filmclubs in Norway. They toured Denmark and Germany in 2002. Others acts on the tour were KA, Tore Boe and Kobi. Latest live act's were The Arne Treholt Show and Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu tribute. Their music is electronic sportsnoize. Mensch - sport - teknik. Discography: CD:
