Mårble is the alias of musician and multi-instrumentalist Anton Glebov. "1691" is his first solo long-playing album after quite a long break, and this is a great comeback! The album is filled with spiritual and spaced-out jazz-inspired music, recorded mainly by Mårble all by himself in his former studio in Saint Petersburg during the years 2021 and 2022. The studio was a big inspiration for Anton. He and his friends made a really special place, where instead of their home studios, they finally had no limits and could play and record music with ease. Even the name of the album is an homage to the studio; the number of the studio's door was 1691.

At the time when the album was in the process of making, Mårble was listening to a lot of Afro-Cuban music and Latin jazz. You start to hear it from the first seconds, and it's such a unique blend of these genres and his rich musical experience and vision. "1691" is full of different moods and echoes, and yet it is a really complete work. The album starts with the track "Unified Force" and ends with "Magic", those are two "new-agy", spiritual tracks where your mind just wants to drift on the soundwaves peacefully, but in-between you get a huge variety of compositions. Each one has its own unique story that needs to be heard. Some of the tracks on the album are more intense, like "Chomga", "3th of December" or "Pedritto", where suddenly you get sounds of slightly distorted trumpet or singing in Portuguese/gibberish, and other tracks with a more relaxed atmosphere, like "Jr. Pomidor" you can almost call Balearic. Also, can't forget to mention the great work of saxophone and flute player Slavik Ipatov who has recorded parts for tracks "Boss Latinoss", "Yog Cave" and "Pedritto".

The artwork for this record was made by an artist Alisa Gvozdeva, who's been working on previous Mårble releases a lot. On the back of the "1691" vinyl record cover, you will be able to see the drawing of the studio, thanks to which the recording of this album became possible.

"1691" is a truly great and unique album from start to finish, and we hope you'll enjoy it just like we do.

This project is an attempt of creation of artistic, pictorial and acoustic metaphor of pre-cognitive space, which gets into field of our vision for the first time, which there is probably outside of it that is nonlinear, unexcited and absolutely opaque (or absolutely transparent, that it is the same thing technically). In this state the space exists for a few moments – nearly at once it starts to be filled with our reactions, reactions to reactions, the comments and reaction analysis. The whole space begins to split into the signal elements, be structured, be compared with potential counterparts with varying degrees of swiftness, but pretty quickly.

It starts to be filled with a text, turn into the text until it disappears, finally, in whole inside any random category. Being two-dimensional it can be get lost forever in indistinctly created file for something similar.

If separate fragment of space-text starts to return with unalterable regularity it can be removed out of main context, appropriated and turned into lyric episode of private or collective autobiography.

In this project I tried to create pictorial and acoustic sceneries maximally free from linear development, from narrative and didactic component. I would like to remember or approach again amazing moment of sincere surprise, which causes any space found itself within of our attention for the first time. Or, rather, sincere noticed for the first time.

At this moment, before the space starts to be shared and scattered in our systems of denominations, it, breathless, retains its stunning integrity and impermeable non-dimension.

Этот проект является попыткой создать художественную, пикториальную и акустическую, метафору 'пред-когнитивного' пространства. Пространства, каким оно впервые попадает в поле нашего зрения, каким оно, наверное, является за его пределами - нелинейным, невозбуждённым и абсолютно непроницаемым (или абсолютно прозрачным, что технически одно и то же). В таком состоянии пространство существует в течение нескольких мгновений - почти сразу оно начинает наполнятся нашими реакциями, реакциями на реакции, комментариями и анализом реакций. С разной степенью стремительности, но довольно быстро, цельное пространство начинает дробиться на сигнальные элементы, структурироватся, сравниваться с потенциальными аналогами.

Оно начинает заполнятся текстом, превращаться в текст пока, наконец, не исчезает полностью внутри какой-нибудь произвольной категории. Став двухмерным, оно может навсегда затеряться в невнятно созданном файле для 'чего-то-похожего'.

Если отдельный фрагмент пространства-текста начинает возвращаться с устойчивой регулярностью, он может быть вырезан из общего контекста, апроприирован и превращён в лирический или героический эпизод личной или коллективной автобиографии.

В этом проекте я попытался создать пикториалный и акустический ландшафты максимально свободные от линейного развития, от нарративной и дидактической составляющей. Мне хотелось бы вспомнить или снова приблизиться к восхитительному моменту искренней оторопи, которое вызывает любое пространство впервые оказавшееся в пределах нашего фокуса. Или, скорее, впервые искренне замеченное. В эти доли секунды, перед тем как начать делиться и рассыпаться в наших системах обозначений, пространство на последнем выдохе сохраняет свою ошеломительную цельность и непроницаемую не-мерность.
