Description: here is the recording of my intro at the Rote Fabrik

The Chizhevsky Biotic Institute of Ecological Music welcomes us with its magnificent glass cases as the sun shines through them to illuminate the wide space inside. It’s decorated with various plants. Deciduous, coniferous, exotic—all of them have made themselves at home in the institute’s hall. A junior researcher we stumbled upon during the walk has assured us that the plants are in great shape. Along with the sun—the beacon of life—they are supported by the music researched at the institute by the composers Vladislav Dobrovolski and Vasiliy Stepanov.

Dobrovolski and Stepanov’s colleagues state that they are the leading specialists in biotic solar music—locally and worldwide. And the music itself is, first of all, a triumph of Russian science and thought. Long ques of researches, thirsting for knowledge of the extraordinary music that has healing properties and is able neglect the effects of time, would line up after the composers at numerous international exhibitions where they presented their findings.

Behold the fruit of Dobrovolski and Stepanov’s labour. These are their latest projects—the very recordings broadcasted continuously via the radio system in the corridors of the Biotic Institute of Ecological Music. Flowing into one another, they spread along the sun-scorched light spaces like a sonic carpet. Thanks to it, the institute’s staff don’t seem to experience any stress. The music, which primarily works with the body (“at a basic level,” as the composers note), paradoxically heals the soul.

GZC004: САД "Дети Солнца"

Saint Petersburg-based Kuzma Palkin returns to GOST Zvuk with a new series, Memont. GOST has been expanding its presence for several years through sublabels Instrument and Archive, as well as releases from GOST family members on their own labels. Flaty's experiments can be found on the ANWO label, while OL has issued a number of releases through Asyncro. For Palkin, Memont represents a return to his roots. The artwork for the first release, stadion sever, features the original packaging of Moment universal superglue, something that will be familiar to every Russian who lived through the 1990s. The album is named after the eponymous stadium in Palkin's hometown of Severodvinsk, which is displayed on the back cover. Sever represented a kind of playing field in childhood, but has now come to stand in as a metaphor for daily life. The visual landscape of modern Russian life points back to Sever.

Musically, stadion sever is also a return to Palkin's roots. The echoes of early IDM that kickstarted his career in the beginning of the 2000s are on display here. While the music is thoughtful and attentive to detail, traces of irony can be identified among the seriousness, not least in the title of the series and the track synth1 power user. The same ironic touch makes its mark on the album's sound. Palkin borrows the recognizable textures of club music, but drastically modifies their context and transforms them into something altogether more thought-provoking and inscrutable. Palkin's unique sound and the beauty of his music can be found in the balance between retrospection and looking ahead, where austerity meets humour.

MEM01: Kuzma Palkin "Stadion Sever"

Sorang, the debut album of Yalta native Wulffius (@wulffius), represents his work over the last eight years. The playful creature on the cover, Stone Eater, is based on childhood sketches of the producer's father. The album's name alludes to the first collection of his father's poems, which took its name from a short story by Konstantin Paustovsky, a master of nature writing in Russian prose. Sorang is the name of the south wind that "blows once in centuries," and you can hear its unique warmth in these tracks. There is a sense of wholeness here, a palpable style and atmosphere that permeates the individual pieces.

Wulffius creates what he refers to as "B-sides": something too strange to be danceable, with "complex ease" and rhythmical variety. The music has a charming serenity and beauty thanks to Wulffius' intuitive approach, which is childlike and whimsical in the best possible sense. By the way, Paustovsky wrote Sorang in an hour and a half at a speed writing competition. You can hear a similar spontaneity here, but make no mistake, this is the work of a master that has been crafted over a period of years. It all comes from experience.

________________________________________________________________

«Sorang» — дебютный альбом ялтинца Wulffius, собранный из его работ последних 8 лет. Забавный персонаж на обложке, Камнеед, основан на детских рисунках его отца, а слово «Sorang» дублирует название первого отцовского поэтического сборника. Впервые появилось оно в коротком рассказе Константина Паустовского. Соранг — это название жаркого южного ветра, который «дует один раз за многие сотни лет». Вы действительно можете почувствовать тепло от предложенных музыкальных композиций. Точно так же вы можете ощутить цельность альбома, его особый стиль и атмосферу, которая передается от трека к треку.

Wulffius создает музыку, которую сам называет «би-сайдами»: слишком странными в своей «сложной простоте» и ритмическом разнообразии, чтобы быть обычными танцевальными треками. Спокойствие и красота этих композиций очаровывают — в том числе благодаря интуитивному подходу Wulffius к музыке, по-хорошему непосредственному, детскому. К слову, Паустовский написал «Соранг» на конкурсе по письму как упражнение в скорости — и всего за полтора часа. В музыке Wulffius вы тоже можете услышать спонтанность, но не ошибайтесь — это работа мастера, которая с годами становилась все лучше и лучше. Все приходит с опытом.

GOST017: Wulffius "Sorang"

Gost Zvuk presents the first vinyl release from the hidden gem of the Moscow electronic scene – Dmitry Drozdov. Under the shadowy alias of @dx2ov, on Interzona he plays with an array of fairground-like melodies, lo-fi house motifs, buoyant space-age optimism, and old-school UK breaks. Along with the strong emphasis on melody, at the forefront of his style is a keen ear for off-kilter, scattered percussion, with 'Voices' shining as a curious example of polyrhythmic, synthetic metallophone meshing with gritty Roland rhythm box styles. The album glides between these sharper moments and experiments with gloopy, submerged aesthetics and Madlib-like phone call snippets ('OK') as well as minimalist, Detroit-inspired funk on the microhouse-esque 'Loop' - another highlight with its perfectly placed and skewed vocal lead.

'Eliseus' runs close to 130bpm with a tight drum pattern reminiscent of the excellent 'Gesicht Aus Diamant' by 100Records, a minimal gem from 2005. Dima's track channels similar ecstatic synth propulsion, with what sounds like a warped choral disintegration washing in and out of the stereo field. More trippy vocal distortions all around! The influences run wide and deep across Interzona, from beat tape hip-hop to US house/techno and library music. The ambient closing cuts also tread a similar path at points to label mate Flaty's AEM Rhythm Cascade & Dices collaboration.

Hardly anyone can play effortlessly from one genre to the next. The styles in which Marcism feels at home seem almost inexhaustible. In addition to his great musical knowledge, the Zurich native plays his sets with a confidence and naturalness that makes you buy everything he does as a dancer. His strength, however, lies in house and techno - groovy tracks with lively synths that get even the last person on the dance floor to dance.
