Clement warmth in old portraits 
Grin in cold frames 
Grasp of no revival 
Overgrown with reeds  
The memory is still leafing through the days 

 Soundlessly they go
 On a distant ladder, passing by
 Left without pledge, a rotten log  

The endless ground under us 
All is given
 I shall wander— 
Out of the skull-cradle, in the bustle of the city 
Though moss may overgrow, the sunlight slants in my slip stream.

ASTROWIND Kedr CD

Latvian composer, musician and sound designer Kirils Lomunovs/Astrowind is soaring up to the cosmos again with his new EP “Kedr”. An unquiet and seemingly somewhat chaotic music enshrouds deep textures of sound, micronoise of cosmos and voices of its conquerors. Atmosphere of nostalgia for enthusiasm of a gone epoch of extraterrestrial space active research and an attempt to look past earth orbit from the Earth have been explored in the terrestrial studio Tokctoka.
Voices of antique analogue synthesizers and analogue sound effects are employed to help in piercing the space: Vermona synthesizer, Roland RE-201 Space Echo, multiple artifacts of Formanta Radio Factory in Kachkanar, USSR, including Polivoks itself, as well as other exciting and legendary tools. A virtual-analogue synthesizer Oberheim OB 12 – „crazy mathematician” – plays a special role in this record.
For admirers of space music and analogue sound.

New video for A Simple Death 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrsIGR1pNtU

(Videomix by Yakob K.) 

(An alternative soundtrack to Kaidanovsky’s A Simple Death which was his diploma project. The film received an award at the Malaga film festival. A Simple Death is a film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s tantalizing novel The Death of Ivan Ilyich which, as Kaidanovsky personally acknowledged, had helped him get rid of the fear of death by accepting its inevitability. This story about dying featured Leo Tolstoy’s voice – the phrase “Nelzya tak zhit!” (one should not live like that) sounding from an old record.)
