Last week, we talked about eochi.
Next on the list is the Michael Bay of music. Some would stack layers to fill up the air, while some would do it another way. Rarely letting the intensity decrease, or bring the song out of sight, here on flyoutlet is onumi.
onumi’s just a way to express what’s going on in my life, and for some reason it’s gotten an audience to express to
The title I bring you today, pack of action, mainly came from what I associated with “Before My Body Is Dry.” This was the first song I heard from onumi. The concept slowly forms in the intro, but is there for the rest of the track. Regardless of how few elements onumi makes use of in the different parts of the song, the air is constantly full of action, something happening, and there is always something that fills in to maintain this action. Relistening to be able to explain this made me want to say it was the percussion, but while it is also the percussion, it generally seems that the few elements are played at a rate where I’m not left without something to focus on. It’s all so wide and surrounding that it keeps you aware.
Of course there’s no thinking of action when looking away from the deeper perspective. There is only experiencing it. The song introduces vocals that do like the the few elements, and fill out the space to keep the air full. As a bonus, there’s an altered layer of vocals underneath. Towards the drop, the gear is shifted and the speed goes up, and instead of the slower more vocal-oriented part we’ve just listened to, the bass breaks through the drop, and the vocals turn into a sort of lead that covers what the bass couldn’t.
i agree, my music is usually very ADHD in a way. i don’t aim for that, but it comes out from how i write my music. I write it in chunks at a time and try to avoid using too many loops or repeating elements, so that usually leads to really weird / interesting places

More recently is what onumi has turned into a two track EP, the “DESTRUDO / LIBIDO EP.” With “オヌミ - デストルドー (DESTRUDO),” the intro isn’t as action-packed, but the more you hear of the drums after that, the more you know something is coming. From a small bass to one that is just destructive, I’m put back in awareness, and surprisingly still being able to listen to the music casually. A thing I really liked about this track was the glitching used in the drop. I got taste for the way onumi put something small in a glitching loop and took it far with change of effects and tempo.
the EP is 2 tracks from an album i was making, i decided to take a different approach to writing the album so i released what i had made so far as a short EP.
The second half of the EP, “オヌミ - リビドー (LIBIDO)” brought something that made me more as curious as it had made me worked up by action. Already at the start are so many different things suddenly making their way into the track, and it left me curious of what the next thing could’ve been. I was wrong most of the time. But from “オヌミ - リビドー (LIBIDO)” I gained that onumi has control of the tempo. onumi’s playing with it as changing it was nothing and it works. Opposite to “Before My Body Is Dry,” the drop here slows down and regains speed when it’s almost over, but it comes naturally when listening to it.

I looked out for “オヌミ - あなたの嘘 (YOUR LIE)” before and while writing this. When I finally got to listen to it, I knew I should’ve expected the drop but I was caught off guard. I was also caught off guard when the break wasn’t as intense as I had thought it would be like the other onumi tracks I had just heard. All those strings that introduced me to the second drop made everything chill, and “オヌミ - あなたの嘘 (YOUR LIE)” somehow became a calmer listening experience.
i actually don’t really try to aim for crazy energetic stuff, i used to not even really be able to make it (i used to make synthwavey chill stuff) i’m not really sure how onumi landed on doing crazy bass stuff but it just kinda happened and now it’s how i can express thoughts
I also looked out for “オヌミ - あなたの嘘 (YOUR LIE)” because that was the one to make me start looking more carefully at the cover arts. This track’s cover art was the first to catch my eye when I first heard of onumi, but now having listened to multiple tracks, I take a second look and discover how they could relate to how I’ve spoken about the tracks. While there isn’t so much on them, they are still made in a way that brings more than what it is at a first look. It goes again with an illustration and words that are formatted to be wake interest. I’d rather take that up with onumi.
i make all my own art, i recently remade all my old covers and now i’m using 3d models. The models are made in a character creation type thing and then i do the textures colors and lighting in blender, export them to photoshop, and edit them. The art for destrudo involved purposely corrupting the model and making it super glitchy.

Besides original tracks we’ve newly discovered, onumi also has a couple of remixes where her style goes through. The remix of Porter Robinson’s “Sad Machine” is the one I’m currently stuck on. onumi had a great spin on this song, and there are more remixes and collabs to discover for yourself. Learning that “Before My Body Is Dry” was a remix itself, was quite surprising.
before my body is dry is actually a remix of a song from the anime Kill La Kill by the same name. […] Was very fun to make, nice way to show off my more musical side that people sometimes don’t notice underneath all the loud noises
Having listened to a part of onumi’s discography, and now knowing more of what’s going on on onumi’s side, I am excited to hear what the future brings. onumi’s music is definitely something more people would want to hear, but haven’t heard yet. Maybe it’s time.
