Monokle

There is a fine line between day and night that seems visible on Fama87’s (@fama-87) debut cassette on Gost Zvuk, aptly named День, ночь (Day, Night). There is no difference between “daytime” and “nighttime” tracks. They are always somewhere in between. Fama87 is no stranger to the label family. He has frequently played at our parties, has collaborated with Flaty and Nocow as part of Wax Paper Cup and has done a few releases with Flaty alone (as Underwraps and FFAA). Both of them featured as guests on this tape. rforest seems like a dialogue between Flaty and Fama87, with a melancholic melody and a persistent beat. Nocow’s gentle voice enriches both Останься со Мной (Stay with Me) and Проснуться на Восходе (Awaken at Dawn).

Despite Fama87’s background in the world of instrumental hip-hop, it’s definitely not a beat tape. He just seamlessly glides back and forth between genres in a continuous stream. On the album you can feel the echoes of ambient, electro, house, hip-hop, R&B, IDM, field recordings and old film music. The hidden plot of the album reveals itself after a few listens. It’s all about the eternal cycle of time: day follows night and night follows day, and so on and so forth.

GZC005: Фама87 "День, Ночь"

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.

Автор о подкасте:

«Я обычно составляю миксы из треков, которые мне нравились в последнее время. Выбрав условную тематику (т.к. мне нравится разное), из своих плейлистов я собираю часа на два полотно и свожу иногда в реал тайме, иногда в Reaper. В этот раз тоже все так. 

Тематику, вайб старался выдержать эмоциональный, но отстраненный, не напористый, скорее чувственный. Я не старался над отсутствием ритмов, т.е. по задумке это не эмбиент-микс, но, кажется, просто само так получилось, что весь час более-менее абстрактный. Ну, и плюс что-то ностальгическое, наверное. В общем, посыл довольно не заморочен, местами кинематографичен — на такое осенью меня тянет обычно. Музон разных лет. Есть один нерелиз с нашего будущего альбома с Ens Dormir, треки с недавней компиляции Fuselab «PIECE OF IT», есть Дэвид Боуи и Gigi Masin, немного Японии, немецкого эмбиента и наш любимый X.Y.R.».

Author about the podcast:

«I regularly make mixes from of tunes I've lately appreciated. After deciding on a topic (since I like to experiment), I assemble two hours of music from my playlists and mix them in real time or in Reaper. This time is no different.

I tried to keep things emotional yet distanced, not forceful, and quite seductive. I didn't intend to create it beatless, so this isn't an ambient mix on purpose, but it just so happens that the entire hour is more or less abstract. Plus, I think, it was something nostalgic. In general, the message is not ambiguous; it is a little theatrical, which is what interests me in the fall. Music from many eras. One unpublished track from our upcoming album with Ens Dormir, tracks from the current Fuselab collection "PIECE OF IT," David Bowie and Gigi Masin, Japanese, German ambient, and our favorite X.Y.R. may be found here».

Embers

The occasional fisherman and graduated psychologist Vlad aka Monokle is responsible for the third LP on Ki Records. The Title of the Record is „Saints“ and it will be available on Vinyl, CD and Digital.
It’s already the third LP release for the 26 year old producer from St. Petersburg. He’s been making music since the mid-00s and has a massive creative output. As he says, he takes his inspiration from silence and Eric Satie is one of his biggest idols. His favorite label is Warp, so it’s no wonder that some of the nine tracks do have reminiscences with the British label (e.g. Holt Found, Arrows or Homesick). But instead of quoting the sound of his big idols, he gives it an individual touch and continues the evolution of that certain kind of sound. His main Influences were IDM and Glitch, before he became more in touch with Ambient and Drone. All these different influences can be heard as sound fragments in his tracks. Like in a kaleidoscope, these fragments unite; get torn apart and in the end melt together again. Monokle says that “Music with simple rhythms and catchy beats gets him bored pretty quick”. So he got rid of static listening and producing structures, to go his own way when creating music. The Vinyl version of Saints got three bonus tracks in the form of remixes by Fybe:one, WOLS and Milinal. The illustrations for the cover were made by Argentinean artist Carolina Nino. Just like Monokle she works with different shapes and pieces, bringing them together in a new context.
