O+S are Orenda Fink (of Azure Ray and Art in Manila) and Scalpelist, aka Cedric Lemoyne (of Remy Zero).
The group started as a friendship nearly two decades ago in Birmingham, Alabama. “Orenda and I have been friends for 16 years,” Lemoyne

O+S are Orenda Fink (of Azure Ray and Art in Manila) and Scalpelist, aka Cedric Lemoyne (of Remy Zero).
The group started as a friendship nearly two decades ago in Birmingham, Alabama. “Orenda and I have been friends for 16 years,” Lemoyne
offers. “When Remy Zero was just starting and becoming successful in Birmingham, Orenda and her musical partner Maria were a 16-year-old
songwriter duo that would just hang around. We quickly recognized a talent in them and knew they would do well.” Many years later, an
artist-in-residence program in Omaha provided them with unusual creative control, resulting in several recordings of experimental pop songs.
Fink had moved to Omaha because of her involvement in Azure Ray and their Omaha-based record company Saddle Creek Records. When the
local Bemis Center of Contemporary Arts offered Fink a musical art residency, she accepted, and with no guidelines in place, Fink considered
using her collection of field recordings (recorded in, among other places, Omaha, Haiti, and an Alabama church) as source material for loops
and pop songs.
Fink invited her old friend Lemoyne to participate in the art project and he soon took residence at the Center in Omaha, where their early
meetings took place in the basement. « hide |
