Initiated in 2016, Polyphony Più extends the Om Pharaoh Records family into a realm where layered ideas and shifting motifs converge. The project explores electronic expression through a blend of neo‑classical influence, global coloration, and dreamlike atmospheres, assembling works that feel both intricate and unbound.

Rather than adhering to a fixed structure, Polyphony Più treats each piece as an unfolding arrangement—multiple voices moving in parallel, intersecting briefly before drifting apart again. The result is a body of work that feels expansive yet intimate, echoing the project’s name and its emphasis on multiplicity.

Within the broader OPR mythos, Polyphony Più stands as a study in convergence: a project where traditions, experiments, and distant musical lineages meet, overlap, and briefly harmonize before dissolving into new forms.

 

"Weave a circle round him thrice, And close you eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drank the milk of Paradise." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream

"Readers may be divided into four classes: I. Sponges, who absorb all they read, and return it nearly in the same state, only a little dirtied. II. Sand-glasses, who retain nothing, and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time. III. Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read. IV. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others by it also." - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Notes and Lectures Upon Shakespeare and Some of the Old Poets and Dramatists.
