система | system continues to act in wartime anyway!
Right now this is the most difficult time for Ukraine we decided to continue to share and promote Ukrainian artists' music and to develop the Ukrainian electronic scene. So today we're back to our audience with an incredible album "Kombimezon" by Ukrainian Odesa-based artist Polje aka Viktor Konstantinov. Here is what the artist's saying about his own material:
~ "My name is Viktor, I am a self-taught musician from Odesa, Ukraine. I started recording and posting my first songs on the Internet somewhere around 2013.
Polje is my main alias, under which I release music and perform in the format of electronic live or as a DJ since 2017.
"Kombinezon" (“jumpsuit” in English) is the first LP under this name. This album is a soup that took time to gather ingredients: traveling, sitting at home, trying to experience life in the capital, the opportunity to look at the context of the hometown from the outside, catching influences from art, literature, and more.
It turns out that I belong to the type of musicians who find it difficult to work in one style. I rarely manage to do something whole and at the same time relatively large in volume. But this time I solved this problem for myself: gradually I identified the basic set of sounds, instruments, and ways to use them. Then the sound produced easily absorbed the rest of the colorful community - as a comfortable jumpsuit.

система | system все одно продовжує діяти у військовий час!
Зараз це найскладніший час для України, та ми вирішили продовжувати релізити та просувати музику українських артистів і розвивати українську електронну сцену. Тож сьогодні ми повертаємося до нашої аудиторії з неймовірним альбомом «Kombinezon» українського одеського виконавця Polje aka Віктора Константинова. Ось що артист каже про власний матеріал:
~ "Мене звати Віктор, я - музикант-самоук із Одеси. Свої перші пісні почав записувати і викладати в інтернет десь у 2013-му році.
Polje - мій основний псевдонім, під яким я публікую свою музику та виступаю в форматі електронного лайву або як ді-джей з 2017-го.
«Kombinezon» - це перший LP під цим ім'ям. Цей альбом є таким супом, збір інгредієнтів до якого потребував часу: мандрування, сидіння вдома, спроби відчути життя в столиці, можливість подивитися на контекст рідного міста зі сторони, виловлювання впливів з мистецтва, літератури тощо.
Так вийшло, що я відношуся до того типу музикантів, яким важко працювати в одному напрямі. Мені рідко вдається зробити щось цільне і водночас відносно велике за обсягом. Але цього разу я вирішив для себе цю проблему: поступово я визначив основний набір звуків, інструментів та шляхів їхнього використання. Далі вироблене звучання легко вдягло в себе решту різнобарвної спільноти - як зручний комбінезон.

GASOLINE GUEST MIX: РАДІО ХВИЛЬ 02/10/2022

This mix is a collection of Ukrainian ambient music made to feel safe, relaxed, and for yoga practice. 

It is so important to stay strong when our home is under the attack of ruzzian aggressors. Yoga discovers endless power inside body and mind and it is for real an eternal source of strength to fight evil. 

Please, help Ukraine to fight evil. You can donate to save children's lives, help with medicals, or help with energy supplies. A lot of civilians in Ukraine are suffering now without electricity and heating. Also, you can donate to military volunteers.

You can find different ways to help on STANDFORUKRAINE.COM also you can check @kyivangels and @livyj_bereh volunteers who provide help with supplies and house reconstructions.

Ukrainian Yoga Mix

"The eighth record of the Ukrainian label Muscut bursts into consciousness like a psychedelic van which is flying at all pairs, leaving behind a sultry cloud. Meet the Chillera - new girl-band from Odessa. Three young witches mixed together the berries of surf rock, dub-rhythms ripened on the southern soil and greens of funky ornaments. It sounds juicy, naturalistic, relaxed and, most importantly, fresh. Heady maiden trio plays bluntly, from the heart, unexpurgated spicy dub music without a single synthesizer, only a duo of bass and electric guitars in a company with percussion. The very title of the headline track - SCHAX, sounds simultaneously as a spell and as an order. SCHAX - and you bud something went to the Californian beach in the late 60's, SCHAX - and tailwind carried you by canoe to the harbor of Kawaiha in the first half of the 80's, SCHAX - and you dive into the sparkling Black Sea sand. The composition of the gang also stupefies the imagination: Ganna Brizhata, known of her solo project Bryozone and collabs with Vakula and Indirect, Polina Matskevich, working in the field of experimental electronics under the moniker p.m. And a real girl-vamp in the style of technopunk, Ira Lupu. Take care of your hearts, for they will be melted inevitably!" - Artem Ikra, Krossfingers.com

A2 - Why
Lyrics by Vladimir Riabtsev
Vocal - Lilia Pliam

Why are there stars over the planet
Why are there winds over the planet
Why are there tornadoes on the planet
Why are there dreams on the planet, why

Why are there waves in the ocean
Why is there the fish in the ocean 
Why is there a sail over the waves
Why are there seagulls over the waves
Why are there green leaves
Why are there blue sunrises
Why is there the golden sun
Why are the children being born?

Why, why do people date
Why do people explain themselves
Why do they love each other
Why do they lie to each other
Why

Why, why do people date
Why do people explain themselves
Why do they love each other
Why do they lie to each other
Why

Reviews:
Muscut's second EP in September is as hot as the first, and comes from Polina Matskevich, who is part of the Chillera band behind the label's other offering this month. Her trippy electric guitar rings out at the heart of each of these cuts while an experimental approach to sound collage, studio effects, field recordings and dub all colour the spaces around. "Gryaznly Sled" is a mysterious cut awash with warm southern guitars, then things get heavenly and soul soothing thanks to the gentle chords of "Avgust Na Zakate Dnya". "Toyota" is a more traditional but superbly slow and cavernous dub, and the flips explores more harmonic melodies and fatter rhythms. It all adds up to a rather refreshing EP.

Liner notes:
Historically informed violin player, prize-winning street musician, new age experimentalist, chamber ensemble performer and conservatoire deviant. The career of Valentina Goncharova (b. Kyiv 1953) shares parallels with those associated with the broader new music movement of the 20th century and the dissemination of home recording technologies. Valentina’s was a youth spent immersed in the world of classical music study under soviet rule, first in Kyiv and later in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) from the age of 16. With the supervision of professors M. Vayman and B. Gutnikov she learned concert violin and developed alternate playing styles alongside skilled pianists. A student of the Leningrad conservatoire during the years 1969 through to 1983, her repertoire included music for violin and later expanded to contemporary music composition. The improvisatory nature of free jazz and then-budding experimental rock circles also intrigued Valentina during this period in Leningrad. Departing from the rules of the conservatoire, she briefly performed in underground rock clubs alongside future members of the industrial group Pop-Mechanika (Popular Mechanics). This perpetual state of flux is central to the variety found within ‘Recordings Vol. 1’, though as opposed to any degree of uncertainty Valentina’s practice is one in flux by way of earnest curiosity.
						
Pushing further into an exploration of solo electro-acoustic sounds, she took to home taping on a modified Olimp reel to reel recorder. Intrigued by the manipulability of dubbing and the fresh sounds of DIY effects chains, Goncharova developed pickups alongside her husband Igor Zubkov. Her infatuation with the music of Stockhausen, Xenakis, Ganelin Trio and Pierre Boulez channels through considerations of space and erratic sound design, the three movements of ‘Metamorphoses’ embodying this textural approach to musique concrete. The compositional skills developed in Leningrad unfold in the romantic gestures of ‘Higher Frequencies’, whilst manipulated cello combines with synthesise keys across ‘Passageway To Eternity’. The slow, pulsating drone soundscapes recall the likes of Robert Rutman’s US Steel Cello Ensemble or even deep listening pioneer Pauline Oliveros.
						
The juxtaposition of written notation and improvisatory flare is central to Goncharova’s sound world. This period of home recording documents a confluence of minimalism, free form and flirtations with new age tropes (inc. bell chimes and cavernous vocal mantras). Experimenting with unusual performance techniques, such as shouting into amplified cello strings, Valentina’s home studio functioned as a place to foster full artistic and creative freedom away from any academic strictures.
