OGDL is a duo of Ozan Tezvaran and Gundega Graudina. They met during their Postdigital Lutherie studies at the University of Arts Linz. OGDL merges noise, ambient and deconstructed club in experimental music performances, often held in unusual locations ranging from zoos to churches. Their concerts are a mixture of lullabies, screams, sad pop tunes with an oomph, tape loops, field recordings, feedback and layered string textures, to name a few.
