Ervin Omsk
Ervin Omsk is a pseudonym of Germany based musician and visual artist Sven Fritz. His music is based on a spatial approach, using oscillators, percussion, speech fragments and noise to approximate a sense of texture and terrain through sound. Forming acoustic and electronic images of varying dimensions, expanse and density, Omsk’s work is the epitome of seamlessly moving between clear structure and total abstraction. Omsk has been releasing on Orange Milk Records and International Winners since 2020. A new album titled Schmalster Point is out on Orange Milk Records in April 2023.
