Critical. Graphorrhea.

Critical is, as known, a joint project, a mobile construction. Participants in it may be replaced from one event to another – however, not all of them. Thus, in this release Andriy Kyrychenko and Dmytro Kotra are accompanied by Tobias Astrom and Jeff Surak – and the joint work by so diverse musicians, maybe, just could not be homogeneous, unambiguous. Therefore, having paid attention to the black-and-white design of the cover, also pay attention to that actually it is saturated with delicate patterns of various degrees of complication. Just as the content of the disc – it is only at first sight that it seems rather simple... However, gradually – almost unnoticeably but persistently – the number of lines, layers, bands, aftersounds, parallel and independent steps grows. And all of that flows, sounds, disappears without pressure without transforming into structured noise – with appearance of new details previous ones somehow modestly grow transparent, after which they disappear in the English manner. This is not city graffiti – but urban graphics, if you like. Simultaneously rich and ascetic, quiet and swift. Self-sufficient.

this time Critical were:
Dmytro "Kotra" Fedorenko - track constructions and arrangements, bass, drums, programming, synthetics
Andrey Kiritchenko - computer, acoustic guitar, field recordings
Tobias Astrom - feedback/effects, manipulated recordings of long lost cities/memories
Jeff Surak - autoharp, microcassettes, processing

Dunaewsky69, Zavoloka, Kotra. Kallista. /eco-pack/.


"Kallista" is an hour-long journey through contrasts. Sometimes muted, soft, sometimes – quite sharp. But, in any case, these are deep, voluminous sound miniatures, in which there is space for meditative immersion, and for purely urban drive, and for futuristic fantasies, and for essentially shamanistic experiences.

Alla Zagaykevych, CAT. Zymovy sat. /digi-pack/. (Winter CArTen)


This world is separated from others with only a thin veil – the veil of our perceptions. And such albums as "Zymovy sat" – they make this veil visible, tangible. Re-present it. Thus, they make it possible to move it apart...

Ojra, Andrey Kiritchenko. A Tangle Of Mokosha.


The space remains clear – decorations appear fragmentary and absolutely unobtrusive. They afterwards form their own layer of fragile patterns – but the space all the same remains clear and transparent, therefore the general picture acquires depth, immensity, extraordinarily lots of warm, light, heartfelt overtones sound in it...

Viktor Pushkar, Serhiy Okhrimchuk. [chomub.ini].


This space lives at the level of such free, indirect associations that it seems almost impossible. It is quite possible that, when listening to this music, you will finally learn to dance architecture...

Viktor Pushkar, Serhiy Okhrimchuk. [chomub.ini]. Court music as it could [not] happen.


Is it really so [im]possible to imagine a Court, where the could [not] be exactly this court music? One of answer options – [chomub.ini]. ..It is time to start producing one's own blocks for the game, or to radically change the methods of their combining. It is time to search for harmony in combination of the Infrared with the Ultraviolet, the Hard with the Fluffy, or the Wavy with the Rectilinear...

Zavoloka, Kotra. Wag the Swing. /eco-pack/.


It thrills. Cool and warm, tart and sweet, quiet and agitated – that is sounding of this disc. Joyful and straightforward – children in love whose feelings are reciprocal can be like that. As to my taste, of course – because who know...

Tom Carter, Vanessa Arn, The Moglass. Snake-tongued Swallow-tailed...


And due to active use of live instruments, this music is called post-rock. And due to how exactly and in what combinations they are used – it is named ambient and psycho-folk. It is a live, warm matter, and it bears a long, tangible, contemplative feeling – of coziness, growth, flow...

Andrey Kiritchenko, Francisco Lopez. Mavje.


...his space does not wait till you make the first step – it shrouds you at once, leads, rolls, pushes unnoticeably – warm air over tarred railroad ties – and you do not dive and do not enter, but at once... you stay here so as if it has been and is and will be so – naturally – you are there, you find, you know...

The Moglass, Andrey Kiritchenko, Anla Courtis. Courtis/Kiritchenko/Moglass.


The one who accumulated spaces for one track plays the guitar for another track, and from the others' sounding creates something third in the fourth track – they switch places, roles, world... There arises a strange feeling – you seem to see familiar things, but in unfamiliar combinations, at unexpected angles.
