An Italian pair operating under the name Ozmotic fuses glitch-infused electronics with acoustic tools such as drums and soprano saxophone, thereby shaping sonic environments that recall both natural settings and constructed forms. Real-time digital imagery accompanies their concerts and functions as an essential element of the overall presentation. Their opening release, the 2015 collaboration AirEffect with Fennesz, preceded the 2016 album Liquid Times, which again featured Fennesz; the third record, Elusive Balance, appeared on Touch in 2018.

The Turin-based outfit consists of Stanislao Lesnoj, who contributes soprano sax along with electronics and visuals, and SmZ, who supplies drums together with electronics and assorted objects. Working jointly or apart, the two have created music and sound design for numerous films and theatrical works. In 2015 they joined Mexican musician Murcof for the multimedia piece U235 - The Era of Technology, presented at the Todays Festival in Turin. Their debut album AirEffect, also issued that year on Folk Wisdom, carried the Fennesz partnership, while Liquid Times received remix treatments from Senking and Eberhard Breitschneider. The move to Touch occurred for the 2018 album Elusive Balance.
