O.M.THEOREM (NO) - LIVE
Bergen-born, Berlin-based producer and live artist Tobias Sørensen Urhaug, aka @o.m.theorem , has carved out a distinct corner of bass-heavy electronic music - exploring the spaces between soundsystem culture, dub, techno and intricate polyrhythmic structures.

His live sets are built around a hands-on approach to sound. Working directly through a mixing desk, tracks are pulled apart and reshaped in real time using dub techniques, heavy low end and interlocking rhythms. Moving fluidly across tempos, his music can stretch from spacious dub and techno into footwork, jungle and drum & bass - trippy, physical and made for movement.

Through his own O.M.Theorem label, Tobias has steadily built a strong catalogue of releases, including the Lemma series, Corollary1 with reinterpretations by DJ Sotofett and Ossia, and his debut album Eruption, released in 2025. And word has it there’s a new O.M.Theorem release in the works, so there’s plenty more to look forward to.

Together with Aarti Kriplani, Tobias is also behind Dub & Dal, a project rooted in Berlin that brings together soundsystem culture, bass music, food and community.

We’re very excited to bring O.M.Theorem back to Bergen and experience the project where it really comes alive - live, loud and in full effect.

The evening also features Japanese artist @lemnamusic , currently touring Europe with From The Cave - an immersive live work moving through experimental drone, techno, textured noise and shifting rhythms.

LEMNA (JP) - FROM THE CAVE
We’ve been following Lemna’s productions for some time, drawn to the singular way she works with rhythm, space and texture. We’re incredibly stoked to finally welcome her to Bergen as part of her current European tour.

Japanese artist Maiko Okimoto, aka Lemna, has developed a sound that sits somewhere between experimental electronics, techno, ambient and intricate rhythmic structures.
With a background stretching from classical piano and sound engineering to Tokyo’s drum & bass scene, her music dives deep into rhythm while constantly pushing at its edges. Her productions have found a home on labels including Horo, Samurai Music, KHIDI and Delsin.

Since making her live debut at Berlin Atonal in 2017, Lemna has approached each performance as something unique to that particular moment, creating new material rather than relying on a fixed live set.

At Landmark she presents From The Cave - an immersive live work inspired by the role of caves in traditional Japanese mountain worship, where darkness becomes a space for transformation, introspection and rebirth. Moving through experimental drone, techno, textured noise and shifting rhythms, the work traces a journey from darkness and the subconscious towards an emergence into light.

Deep, detailed and uncompromising - we’re very excited to experience Lemna live in Bergen.

The evening also features a live set from Bergen-born, Berlin-based O.M.Theorem (NO), taking the night further into trippy, bass-heavy and danceable territory.

Thank you so much to everyone who is hosting me, and to everyone coming to the shows.
I am truly looking forward to visiting each city and seeing you all there!

On Friday October 2, Ideophone and Bergen Kunsthall come together for a special live program at Landmark, bringing together Lemna (JP) and O.M.Theorem (NO).

@ideophonerecords has always been interested in exploring the outer edges of electronic and club music, and this night brings together two artists who share a deep and exploratory approach to sound, rhythm and live performance.

@lemnamusic presents From The Cave, a deep and immersive live project currently on tour, moving through experimental drone, techno and textured noise. A more introspective and listening-focused performance, drawing inspiration from darkness, transformation and rebirth.

Later in the night, Bergen-born, Berlin-based @o.m.theorem turns up the energy with a trippy, bass-heavy live set built around dub techniques, intricate polyrhythms and shifting tempos - moving through soundsystem music, techno, footwork, jungle and drum & bass.

From deep listening to full-body movement, we’re very excited to present these two artists together at Landmark.

The weekend is closing in, and we can’t wait to welcome the fabulous Haya back to Bergen this Saturday - this time behind the decks at Østre.

So what happens when Haya’s bouncy basslines, hard groove, cheeky dembow and unexpected turns meet Julie Silset’s hypnotic techno, dubby rhythms and deep percussive grooves?

We’re about to find out!

Expect a warm, trippy and seriously bouncy night, with Julie kicking things off on vinyl before Haya takes over the booth.

HAYA (PS) + JULIE SILSET (NO)
