Spectres EP released on @weird_nights 

Abstract electronic soundscapes exploring the concept of collective memories, wrapped in packing of the recycled medium.
The EP is released on second-hand cassette tapes with music by Russian Chanson artists originally recorded.
Side A contains 6 original tracks by Corell. Heavily processed and transformed samples and snippets of audio, turned into the unconscious flow of sound.
Side B (tape only) is an attempt at recycling of Russian Chanson music as an object of collective memory. It is a processing of the material originally recorded on each tape. So each of the 28 copies of tapes contains a unique track on Side B.

“Russian Chanson is a music genre romanticising criminal lifestyle. Hugely popular among the traumatised Post-Soviet society, it was a music of public spaces in the late 90-ies - early 00-s Russia. As a child I could meet it, against my will, in many unpleasant situations and uncomfortable places. It could be heard in public transport, in the streets, shops, out of the windows of cars driving through the red traffic lights.
Spectres is an attempt to overcome this distressing experience. Could I isolate and remove the negative associations and traumatic memories related to this music by processing and manipulating the audio and transform it into something else? And if I could, then what’s left instead?”

Corell is a moniker of Roman Kutnov - producer, composer and sound artist. During the last decade he worked as a solo artist as well as being involved in collaborative projects ranging from indie-rock bands to improv and contemporary academic music collectives. Having an art background Roman works with artists, performers and choreographers providing music for multimedia installations, dance and theatrical performances.
In 2017 he started Corell - a cross-genre project with the focus on ambient and experimental music. In his works he attempts to find a distinctive sound through combining polymetric beats, atmospheres, textures, mutating and morphing loops and rhizomatic composition structures
