Organically Programmed

Musical project formed by Oliver Domingo. With compositions spanning influences of electronic space disco, Jazz fusion, Easy Listening, and avant garde experimental compositions. The project takes influences of projects such as Giorgio Moroder, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Japan, Kraftwerk, Lonnie Liston Smith, Gary Wilson, Library Music, Azymuth, Cortex, Burt Bacharach, and more. The project utilizes electronic, as well orchestral instrumentation and can take place in many different forms and lineups. The project also has ties to the Elephant 6 collective in Athens GA, with members such as John Fernandes, and Max Schneider being part of the project.

from Robert Schneider: “UFO Ride: Debut album by Athens, GA, electronic psychedelic space disco jazz fusion ensemble Organically Programmed is announced today by Cloud Recordings!! Emerging from the same galaxy cluster where mid-70s Herbie Hancock and Donald Byrd, Sun Ra, Kraftwerk, Stereolab and Yellow Magic Orchestra dwell, Organically Programmed is the brainchild of keyboardist Oliver Domingo and collects an inter-generational group of Athens players — including my son Max Schneider as guitarist, and Athens legends John Kiran Fernandes on clarinet and Vernon Thornsberry on hand percussion. The phenomenal new band in various formations (orchestra, jazz quartet, Oliver solo with electronics) has been electrifying Athens for three years with smooth synthetic jazz and tough disco beats. I am lucky enough to have heard the album, both as it was being recorded and in its finished form. It is a truly beautiful and interesting work by a great new band.”
