"Magical Tone Tricks" was created during the silent night hours by the two core members of Ontayso, Koen Lybaert and Esther Santoyo. For this release they mainly focused on electronic manipulations and field recordings. The overall atmosphere spread over the 4 long tracks comes close to the well known early Basic Channel sound, but "Magical Tone Tricks" still keeps it's unique experimental Ontayso sound. It is also their response to Rod Modell's releases on Silentes and shows their mutual love for this early 90's Berlin sound and their joy of working with field recordings and minimal sound manipulations.
