Freedom of the Star Corsair   

“Whoever wishes the eternal, must leave the temporal behind”.

While meditating on the concept of our next album, we listened to the soundtracks of our favorite movies and dreamed of composing our music for the films. What could the film be like, what would be the story, what would be the idea? What would we like to say this time?
 
And one day such work appeared and suddenly for us, it was not a movie. The book “Star Corsair” by Ukrainian science fiction writer, philosopher, and dissident Oles’ Berdnyk emerged from our distant memories. We even remembered the original cover of the old edition of 1971, a copy of which was immediately found, as if sanctifying our idea and adding a touch of eternity to the process. We decided to read the book again and right after that make our soundtrack to it.     
 
We began to dive. And it immediately became clear that in the case of Berdnyk it is impossible only to read his works without reading about his life. Therefore, the reading of “Star Corsair” and its sequel “Kamerton Dazhboga” turned into an in-depth study of a unique phenomenon in the Ukrainian spiritual, art, and political space – Oles’ Berdnyk. 
 
From the first pages, the book resonated as much as possible with our ideas about true freedom and personal development. An incredible concentration of powerful ideas, subtly set on multilevel spirals of the modeled future intersected with the myth-created past, in projections of bright explosions and degradations of societies and civilizations, in the unconditional possibility of impossible revolutions and eternal deep struggle with systems, in the fire and explosions of liberation ignited by the freethinkers.  
 
“Star Corsair” naturally intersected with our feelings and understanding of the interdependence of personal development and inner freedom, with the vision of the world around us and the direct action. It naturally complemented our vision of how, through the inner realization, we can contribute to the implementation of freedom, and then live it in our own lives. 
 
And so, this album became not only music for the novel, but also our reflection of the work, observation of our own transformation in the process, and what new ideas and vectors we will formulate for ourselves and offer to those who want to listen to the album.  



This album is dedicated to the genius Ukrainian and free man Oles’ Berdnyk and all seekers of true freedom.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Kotra. "Self-credence Compressio" comes off the 7 track "Radness Methods" LP on Ukraine based Prostir records. 

Radness Methods” initiates a flow of invoking contrasting conditions and offers an artistic method of extreme urban meditation, and a fierce sonic driver for the ultimate sledgehammer dance. It is a shamanic ritual for the sorcerers of concrete and asphalt, an ecstatic hymn for the philosopher warriors debating the power over life and death. 

Out April 7 in CD and digital formats. Pre-order yours on Bandcamp: https://kotra.bandcamp.com/album/radness-methods

Natural Selection: In Aid Of Ukraine

Natural Selection: In Aid Of Ukraine - V/A [Previews]

@ZAVOLOKA та берлінський лейбл I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free — гості третього епізоду нашої серії Label Sound Series. Тут ми запрошуємо засновників і кураторів лейблів записати для нас мікси, складені виключно з релізів їхніх імпринтів — уже виданих або тих, що ще готуються до виходу.

Українка Катерина Заволока aka ZAVOLOKA, як співзасновнця I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free, презентує на DTF Magazine майже півторагодинний мікс з треками українських та іноземних артистів, зокрема Ujif_notfound, Ruslan Viter, Anna Pidgorna, Muslimgauze та інших.

Лейбл виник як реакція на повномасштабне вторгнення Росії в Україну і як спроба допомогти захисникам, волонтерам та всім, хто продовжує протистояти агресору, об’єднавши музикантів з чіткою позицією.

«Нас тішить, що I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free став чимось більшим, ніж просто лейбл і збір коштів на оборону — це спільнота митців у всьому світі, які усвідомлено допомагають Україні», — пояснює Zavoloka.

Щодо звучання, то, за словами Катерини, їхній лейб фокусується на різножанровій експериментальній музиці — від мелодійної, ритмічної до важкої гітарної, нойзу та академічної електроакустики.

Solid Steel (23rd November) In Hour 1 we welcome Frank Bretschneider who was raised in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz) in the German Democratic Republic. He is the founder of the influential East German underground band AG. Geige and co-founder of the prestigious Raster-Noton label. He lives as a musician, video artist and producer in Berlin. He had this to say about his mix;
"The mix is to promote the SICHTEN 1 album I had the honor to compile, so it contains mainly the music of the artists represented there on. But instead to just repeat the tracks from SICHTEN, I thought to chose new, partly unreleased material as far as available: the title track of Zavoloka’s brand new PROMENI album, new material by Benjamin Brunn, two tracks from Warnecke’s 2016 album COMPUTERMUSIK EINS (FÜR DIE OHREN), and some collaborative work by Retina.It.
The mix includes as well two tracks by raster label mates Island People, resp. AtomTM (in its ’94 incarnation Lassigue Bendthaus), plus some music I enjoyed recently.
Hope you enjoy too."

Free Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Cluster Lizard – an interdisciplinary mixed media project by two Ukrainian artists Dmytro Fedorenko and Kateryna Zavoloka, based in Berlin.

Cluster Lizard uses experimental electronic music as its main element, integrated with analogue and generative video, photography, abstract paintings, and computer graphics.

Conceptual inspiration for Cluster Lizard was driven mainly by futuristic ideas of some prominent science fiction writers, experimental and radical sci-fi movies, abstract painters, futuristic techno-activists, and many other great artists, who offered their view of the future, far and near, social and esoteric, technical and spiritual.

Cluster Lizard creates a dystopian soundtrack for a bizarre sci-fi movie that has not been filmed yet.
