Album Notes

Eight moons from eight planets. From Mars to the distant dwarf planet Eris. Caught in an infinite path around their master. Carrying only a spear to protect them. Passing over the same places, counting the time, defining the cycles. "Eight Moons" is a music inspired from these bodies.

Omnimi is a music project aiming to create a blend of classical, choral and world music. With propulsive rhythmic eastern percussions, a rousing orchestra and a choir singing primitive earthy tunes, Omnimi explores a musical language that fuses ethnic with classical. The mood of the compositions spans across dramatic, epic, cinematic style to purely relaxing.

The basic instrumentation of Omnimi is a classical orchestra, a SATB Choir extended percussions, drums, electric guitar and bass and a female vocalist.

"Omnimi" means "take an oath" in ancient greek.

In 2010 Omnimi released the debut album "Eight Moons". An album about the eight moons of eight planets.
