Oren Ambarchi

Oren Ambarchi is an electronic guitarist and percussionist with longstanding interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. Born in Sydney in 1969, he has been performing live since 1986. His work focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, “re-routing the instrument into a zone of alien abstraction where it’s no longer easily identifiable as itself. Instead, it’s a laboratory for extended sonic investigation”. (The Wire, UK).

His recent solo releases Suspension and Insulation (Touch, UK), have transcended the guitar into a zone of alien beauty and sonic impossibilities to critical acclaim. In 2002 alone he has made 7 extensive international solo guitar tours.


Oren Ambarchi, together with Alison & Brendan Walls have co-produced an experimental TV series called SUBSONICS. The six part series will be broadcasted nationally in Australia on the SBS network in June. For more info click here.

Featured artists include Harry Partch, Faust, Francisco Lopez, Keith Rowe/AMM, Sachiko M, Leif Elggren, Masonna, Scott Horscroft, The Thai Elephant Orchestra, Otomo Yoshihide, Fuckhead, Sun Ra, Gcttcatt, Fahalim Ooshcasky, Sue Harding, Phill Niblock, Joyce Hinterding, Ai Yamamoto and others.


headz, thejapanese label, has just released the sun album (with the original album + the remix disc both on one disc)
