AKIKO KIYAMA - Deviation

 The new album by Akiko Kiyama, consisting of 2 vinyl records, has become the long-awaited debut for Nervmusic Records, to at once fully demonstrate the musical philosophy and vector of the label. Deviation is not just a random selection of tunes, but a whole theatre act, made of sound patterns and melodies, a fantastic journey into a subspace of inner images and memories.
 The story of "Deviation" begins with "My Day" and "Erasers Talk" a classical show for Akiko; with deep and enveloped base; ideally accurate percussions on the trippy background of strings covered with the fog of delays and reverbs. Straight after that appears "Gabriel" – a touching minimalistic allegory on tango with the shivering fans of shakers and the polyphonic accords of an invisible piano.
 The second record plate includes "Nothing's Left Besides Iron And Chef" - a bouncing construction of ragged rhythms and crunchy hi-hats. It is also an interpretation of the track "You Are Pinocchio", which was released on Nervmusic Records previously with the single "If I Had a Pair of Shoes" powered by such remixers as Benjamin Fehr, Alka Rex, Laurine Frost and Alexkid.
 "Go For A Walk" concludes the first vinyl record. The genre classification of "Der Wald Erzählt Geschichte" and "Whereabouts", from the second vinyl, are not to be described. But if you have a strong desire to do so, then you could consider it as a mixture of trip-rock and click’and’cuts. These tracks consist of jazz-harmonies, strings arpeggios, and oriental rhythms; and are more about 60s atmosphere than contemporary club dancing. However they  play a significant role in the inner space of the album; and its dynamic, bringing together different moods and shapes into one united and complete composition.

Fragment taken from our improv set for Signal festival at Nikola-Lenivets land art park.

Zoya Zerkalski & Lisokot aka Cotenius Z live @ Signal festival 17.08.17

»winter, or a time which represents that season, in a metropole that appears to be moscow. the visitor is taking metro no. 6 at leninsky prospect as he is on his way to the ballroom close to gorky park. the air is icy, the sky is grey. a cat, previously hidden among the dirty snow, is crossing his way. the closer he gets to his destination, the clearer he can hear music, music that reminds him of future days.

the dimly lit room is only sparsely filled. on stage a graceful singer, capturing the room with her presence. captive voices merge with chords played on yet unknown instruments – machine rhythms cycle in 3/4 time. the vigorous peasant dancers, following an instinctive knowledge of the weight of fall, utilize their surplus energy to press all their strength into the proper beat of the measure, thus intensifying their personal enjoyment in dancing. here, in the transhuman ballroom, time stands still and values are being dissolved by numeric progressions. spiritually allied, the visitor, the singer and the peasant dancers short-circuit the present moment while the last falling snow slowly turns into rain.«

with »walzerzyklus«, atom™ returns to raster to complete his series that has once begun with »liedgut« and continued with »winterreise«. the 7 tracks, created in collaboration with russian singer lisokot, are subdivided into 3 pieces of 2 minutes each and 4 pieces of 3 minutes each, intentionally reflecting the 3/4 time of a classic waltz.

throughout the release, lisokot’s delicate vocals are put into different relations to atom™’s rather cool machine music, either complementing or contrasting each other. in the same line, the 3 shorter “leitmotifs” provide the main theme that is taken up repeatedly in the course of the release.

the EP will be released on CD and as special vinyl edition limited to 300 copies.
