Kiritchenko - Feral
cat# DU-DTNR4

Feral is an album by Ukrainian electronic composer Andrey Kiritchenko. Since the author is an independent scene apologist, he seeks to realize the hidden potential of various sound solutions by avoiding all kinds of templates, associative truisms and hackneyed formulas.This album is no exception, its filling with a recognizable synthesis of the sound designer, consists an ordered confusion of timbres and rhythm sections.

For the first time to an inexperienced listener it may seem that he is dealing with a series of random sound collisions, but, on the contrary, this illusion collapses when the receptors begin to track orderly series of patterns, refined discipline in this beautiful technogenic chaos. IDM undergoes mutations along with breakbeat patterns, imperceptibly shifts into the ambient plane and lures us into trip-hop passages. Feral is a trickster album, in any case it does not reveal all its cards to the last, even if you try to fill the listening process with independent meanings.

The essence of the release lies in the absence of meaning as such, this artistic technique reflects the familiar state of the world, drowning in information noise. This sound is what we are all about, with our obsessive and changeable states, with a relentless movement towards unattainable constructs and false ideals. Music in Feral remains accessible despite the individuality of the author's strokes.
