really own music style, putting together a blend of electronic, rock and experimental music into the fesh, cutting 21st flavour.<\/p>\n Month after month they created their first instrumental pieces: a mix of electronic, sequen- ces and samples, guitar and bass (Julien), jazzy drums, percussion, saxophone tapes and dicta- phones (Arnaud).<\/p>\n Gradually they found their common musical field and the elements of their sonic alchemy: Hypnotic atmospheres, energy of real instru- ments, experimentation on noise and sound.<\/p>\n In 2001, they started playing live, with a much successful line up which featured drums, guitar\/bass and electronic tools, with additio- nal video visual\/live projections by Thanassis Fouradoulas, gaining a solid reputation for their stunning and much entertraining live shows.<\/p>\n In March 2003, Opak released their first album, Prolog, which was followed by very good feed- backs from both fans and media alike, giving Opak a strong reputation for innovative and creative music.<\/p>\n Opak sees the release of their second album Two Sleepwalkers On A Thight-Rope, a much accomplished and excellent album putting together once again a creative and refreshing blend of electronic music and post-rock with an experimental attitude, the whole built up with sonic guitar drones, staccato and jazzy drums, digital manipulations, hypnotic bass lines, tones of samples, electronic soundscapes, to result in a much innovative album, done without any compromise, and bringing some fresh air in the Swiss scene.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":544805,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12538,31628],"product_tag":[38694,32264,32093,40162,38342],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[29676],"musiclabel":[29592],"musicstyle":[37884,37890,37931,39108,37937,37982,38439,39730,38013],"distributormusic":[10816],"musicyear":[39688],"musiccountry":[39544],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-544804","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-arrivals","7":"product_cat-yoyaku-distribution","8":"product_tag-b2b","9":"product_tag-discogs","10":"product_tag-exclusives","11":"product_tag-wavo-v2","12":"product_tag-yydistribution","13":"musicartist-opak","14":"musiclabel-creaked","15":"musicstyle-acid","16":"musicstyle-ambient","17":"musicstyle-electro","18":"musicstyle-ethereal","19":"musicstyle-experimental","20":"musicstyle-leftfield","21":"musicstyle-lo-fi","22":"musicstyle-post-rock","23":"musicstyle-rock","24":"distributormusic-yydistribution","25":"musicyear-39688","26":"musiccountry-switzerland","28":"first","29":"instock","30":"taxable","31":"shipping-taxable","32":"purchasable","33":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/544804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=544804"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=544804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
