OFRIN
"Ofrin has a vision, a world of her own. Her music is almost a dangerously hypnotic attempt to open up and transform one from this world to another. Just when you thought that you figured her out, she jumps on you and pulls you into a trance-like, wonderfully wild strudel, which picks you up lovingly, challenges and lifts you. Ofrin is more than music. Ofrin is Odysseus and the Sirens combined.“ (Robert Gwisdek aka Käptn Peng)
OFRIN Music is characterized by her ability to create a world through thematic and cinematic composing, it holds the delicate combination between organic and electronic audio, bringing east and west together, nostalgic and modernism into a powerful, poppy and shamanic story telling.
