VTP005 - Mart - Voltage Tension Podcast

Ophism MMXX 171220

Next up comes from Georgia born, St. Petersburg raised and Berlin based artist, musician and highly talented performer Alexey Volkov. 

Passage begins in the middle and late of nineties when subcultures were pretty strong and different. There was a shop «Пластмасса» (Plastic) on a Petrograd side of St. Petersburg, almost the only place where one could buy records in the city. No internet era, Juno and Hard Wax were unavailable. Records often went through the hands. To exchange Downwards doppelgänger for old audio system was a norm of things. A few stations with programs around of music techno, illegal raves on abandoned territories, pot-bellied cops chasing you and other trash. All in the best traditions for times of origin. 
It so happened that Alexey was a part of it and music interest turned out by itself. First records and PC, then first live performances for crowds and producing. 
After several trips to other countries no let say that Alexey was found Berlin. Rather the opposite, it was that Berlin found Alexey. 
Creation of his own independent, experimental and sometimes extreme sound made an impact to subculture by years of collaborative actions with imprints, platforms and legendary farewell of Jealous God at Kraftwerk Atonal 2016. No senseless business here at all. As for recent moment seeing eye may recognise something to expect but we keep it hided to hold internal energy that drives everything.
This mix contents broad concept that can be interpreted in two main ideas. Acceptance of Self and its Shadow and practice of manifesting of the Will. The only way to lessen shadow's power is to shed as much light of consciousness on it as possible. It governs process of individuation and leads to fullness of personality understood as unity of conscious and unconscious.
Regarding music connection there is a certain set of sound vibrations that affects listener's consciousness. Considering any personality and its shadow-side this relationship can be traced. The question is how exactly a choice is made. What makes listener choose violent music? The aim is to get as close to answer as possible. 
This is 1000% vinyl selection recorded in one take from the Master of Shadows.
