NOW MY LIFE IS SWEET LIKE CINNAMON is the absurd combination of rogue musicianship, mad science and cosmic horror gone wrong. Being the brainchild of a collective of musicians based in Cologne, Germany, this ever-changing entity, an uncontrollable force sprawling into music, performance, media and technology, stubbornly refuses clear-cut characterization while being grounded in the traditional band format.

HISTORY

RE:REUNION

Based on Reunion by John Cage, Lowell Cross and others. A sensor-modified chess board and six electronic musicians and chess enthusiasts, connected through the moves they play.

AMERIKA

A new frontier. Ancient aliens, punk music, cheerleading and more. Amerika is a never-ending playground, combining music, performance, improvisation and general madness.

L., G. & S. + T.

The classical period. Electronic, progressive and unpredictable, the music of L., G. & S. + T. would go on to shape the band’s output for more than a year.

NYAN

Mostly music-driven (in contrast to the antecedent Legende), NYAN stands as intermediary between musical worlds and ancestor to the monumental L., G. & S. + T. era.

DIE LEGENDE DES OQKARHAGUMN

Further advancing the figure of Otamanice!, this piece of musical theatre provides the band’s principal body of lore and cosmicist worldbuilding upon which subsequent allusions to the mythos to this day build.

SONNE

The earliest work. Prehistoric and naive, though ground-breaking. Marks the first appearance of fabled Otamanice!
