The Fader: "'Keep Your Word,' is both her most unstable and most arresting yet. Just when you think you're settling into an electronic daydream, she blows the whistle and lets the frenetic rhythms of jungle reign."

Kedr Livanskiy is Russian for Lebanese Cedar.

Kedr on growing up in Russia and the influence that had on her music: 
"Of course the big problem was perpetual drunkenness—people would drink themselves to death. I was born on October 4, 1990. It was a very interesting but critical time for Russia—a time of great change. The Soviet Union was no more, and old values were anathematized because of the reconstruction.

In my early teens no one seemed to understand me in this world (I thought), so I read Washington Irving novels and listened to The Cure. At around 20 years old I felt a real need to find myself, so I entered the directing department of the Moscow School of New Cinema. At the same time, electronic music fascinated me completely.

A small circle of my friends formed around a mutual interest in music. We always went to concerts together, of which were mostly international artists: Inga Copeland, DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad, Legowelt, Death Grips, Florian Kupfer, Dean Blunt, etc. It wasn’t long until we organized the community and DIY record label known as John’s Kingdom. It’s not only about music; it’s also a channel for art, videos and lifestyle. Now it’s the most alive and honest thing in Moscow.

My music is strongly inspired by Autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but with the lyrics and mood of Mazzy Star. I admire contemporaries Inga Copeland and Laurel Halo, however, my songs are more pop-leaning because of the powerful influence MTV had on my adolescence."

Тальник - Родной Cry (Summer 2016 Remix)

https://soundcloud.com/kedr_livanskiy ’s second album, Your Need, is a celebration of life and rebirth. It’s about a fighter’s spirit, and if you will, a little audacity and courage. DJ’ing and early forms of dance music inspired a furious burst of creative energy after months of melancholy, sadness and reflection to record the album in only a matter of weeks.

After her first album, Ariadna, Kedr felt lost with her identity and was searching for the direction of her next chapter. For a while she felt trapped by her own image and needed quite some time to resolve this internal dissonance – to grow, to evolve.

DJ’ing was the main catalyst to pull her out of this rut. The art form shifted her inspiration to mainly old school styles of dance music: ghetto, house, breakbeat and UK garage. For the prior year and a half she was listening to ambient, kraut-rock and more experimental genres – one can hear the brighter, more energetic influence of early electronic music in the songs on Your Need versus Ariadna.

One day she was talking with her friend Flaty (Zhenya), a very talented artist from St. Petersburg who’s signed to the GOST ZVUK label, and they decided to do a single together. He came to visit her in Moscow, but they ended up spending 10 whole days writing music together, from dawn to dusk.

They vibed off each other’s musical ideas perfectly and understood each other even without speaking. Zhenya is a beatmaster and pays attention to even the smallest details of a track. He brought incredible richness to the composition and Kedr considers him her teacher in this area. Kedr was in charge of the melodies and vibe of the tracks, and the vocal elements.

Your Need is like a chapter of life. It’s a story that illustrates different scenarios and moods that our mythical hero experiences, living in an urban jungle. From lost love to a bad trip on the dancefloor, from euphoria to deep introspection. Our hero sometimes feels bold, lost or devastated, but also tender and full, like all of us at some point in life. The ending is joyful and bright. The last song gives hope and faith that a new day will come and wash away the old. You can feel like new every day.

Your Need reflects an array of genres and a mix of cultures -- a harmonious combination of differences. Everything Kedr loves about ghetto music, in the traditions of house, dub, breakbeat, 90s electronic music and modern sounds – she’s embraced and expressed it all throughout. Your Need is Kedr’s ode to music from different eras and changing periods.

2k19 is a good year!

В самом грустном городе
На улице Грусти 
Впустила тебя  в гости , умыться от злости 
Слезы твои вытираю, для тебя сияю , 
Звезды собираю, наш сон охраняю 

В самолете мне в живот воткнули нож
Это было не к добру 
Как ты без меня сейчас живешь?
Я все не пойму

Кто теперь с тобой на кухне танцует 
Лежа на полу?

Оказалось я тебя ( совсем)  не знала 
Лучше я уйду 

Хочешь буду сильной а хочешь нежной
Буду элементом твоей одежды 
Хочешь без надежды, поперек и между, старше или младше , 
ближе или дальше?

Хочешь буду тихой а хочешь громкой?
буду притворятся твоей футболкой
Хочешь  ... Я забуду кто ты?
ведь тебе со мною страшно 
и все уже не важно 

В самом тихом городе 
На улице Счастья 
Не знала что приехала с тобою прощаться
Холодный взгляд , снежное предупреждение
Ты мне не рад , это не вопрос а утверждение
 
В самолете мне в живот воткнули нож 
Это было не к добру 
Как ты без меня сейчас живешь?
Я все не пойму 
Кто с тобою утром газеты читает?
Сидя на полу?
Оказалась я тебя совсем не знала 
Лучше я уйду

Xochesh?

2k19 is a good year!

1663 ты реальный или это мне все просто сниться ?
Пролетает синица , все знают то , что это птица 
А ты кто?

Привыкший к холоду греться не спешишь 
Наполняешься веселящими напитками
Наверно, любишь поцелуи пылкие 
Предпочитаешь заниматься  пытками 

 
1663 живет у меня внутри 
1663  ты ты 
1663  мое любимое число
1663  вроде близко но так далеко

1663
