BIOGRAPHY :
Mario Landry started playing guitar at the end
of his adolescence. In 1989, with the help
of a friend, he forms "Clockwork 7", his first group. Three years
later, after few shows, the venture ends. Too absorbed by the management
of a small enterprise, music is shelved. Then comes an artistically unproductive
period which will last six years. In 1998 he takes private classes in guitar
and singing. During that period, he shares with an old member of Clocwork
7, Christopher Cousineau, many evenings where they mutually enrich their
respective musical universe. These encounters, although periodical, will
remain a major influence for him.
In the year 2000, he's brought together again with a
friend from way back, Viviane Lamy, who has a few compositions up her sleeves
without any precise career plan. After having cumulated a few private classes
in singing, guitar playing and drawing she is thinking more and more seriously
about giving a direction to her artistic skills. It is in taking the decision
to actively search for new opportunities that she decides to call her old
friend to make a demo. The demo ends up turning into an album project bringing
together their respective "répertoire". Before beginning
the recordings, they decide to fly to Europe, a way to gain inspiration and
play with a few ideas. These ideas will add themselves to the material already
developed and will favor the birth of Osmosaic. Once back, they transform
a section of the house they both now live in, into a real laboratory. They
play around with images, texts and music. A recording studio is set up. Just
the time needed to gain a few technical notions about sound recording and
graphic design and the launching takes place. The result of this first project
comes to life in September 2004 and is called "Un",
Their first album.
