About Me

The Underground band OHcy-êspé was founded by Michael Riewesel and Andreas Wiersig at the end of 1984. It was supposed to be an experimental answer to the dull mainstream of the 1980s.OHcy-êspé - Live at Lichtspiele/Hamburg in 1985 (excerpt)

Their reputation as one of Hamburg’s most innovative and most hardboiled Underground bands was rapidly established.At the beginning of the 1990s OHcy-êspé started to deal with some more complex and elaborate forms of artistic expression. So, in addition to their vanguard performances with slide projections and video installations, OHcy-êspé produced a couple of short movies that were shown at several independent cinemas.

After a good deal of improvisational concerts and studio productions the band’s sound characteristics have grown increasingly sophisticated. OHcy-êspé incorporates elements from EBM, Electronic, New Music and Dancefloor into the already existing Psychedelic-Industrial sound.Since the year 2000 OHcy-êspé have been busy composing and producing scores for independent films. In addition to these remittance works OHcy-êspé managed to place some successful tracks in the Independent Charts. “Satimata”, for example, hit number one and was elected best song of the month.

At the moment, OHcy-êspé are working on their new CD and preparing their next tour.By the way, this is a good time and place to finally reveal the secret of the band’s name: “OHcy-êspé” (speak: O.C.S.P.) is a kind of a riddle. In German the “êspé” part is pronounced like the letters S and P (the accents, not being part of common German typography, are solely there for artistic reasons). Replace “êspé” with “SP” and you get “OHcy-SP”. Read it backwards, and there you are: PSYCHO.
