O Yuki Conjugate

Band, *1982 GB
Dance and Electronic

O Yuki Conjugate is an English post industrial/ambient musical group founded in 1982 in Nottingham by Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme. Their music has been variously described as ambient, fourth world, ethnic, tribal and darkwave. In truth it is none of these and the band prefer to call it 'dirty ambient'. They are currently in their fourth incarnation with just the two original members. Other members of the band have included Clare Elliot, Tim Horberry, Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford, Pete Woodhead and Rob Jenkins. Their approach is eclectic but always atmospheric, they play electronics but also found instruments. Their music was inspired by the spirit of post-punk but moved into ambient, pioneering their own brand throughout the 80s when no one else was interested in it. Their debut album 'Scene In Mirage' (a mission 1984) perfectly encapuslated their position: one half was beat driven and 'electronic', the other 'organic' and made of ambient soundscapes. They have released few recordings over their 35 year history, often going into periods of hibernation only to emerge with a new line up. They call their approach 'wilfully obscure'.
