..our reason seems to aspire to harmony, but for some reason interprets it as rest in which it is no longer able to identify itself, and that is why it avoids this state. Therefore, each time, having attained certain rest, some next step is undertaken to break the equilibrium, provoke motion, in order to discover, to come to know oneself in this motion. Searching for harmony it constantly escapes it..

Acquaintance simultaneous with farewell, and consequently endless and vanishing, with all possible plenitude of emptine... A strange black-and-white flower that one needs to break in order to see all colors of the spectrum on the stem fracture. In an instant a drop of night juice oozes there..

We could say that it is a disc rather easy for perception so easy that even almost a dancing one. In any case, rhythms pulsate stably here, do not break, do not disappear all of a sudden. The other way round they develop, flow, grow in. But, at the same time, the melodies induce not so much to entertainment and loud conversations as to reflections, attentive perception.

It is exploration of Water Element. It is inspired by knowledge about Ukrainian Cossacks-Magicians, so-called Kharakternyky, that could control forces of nature, particularly water. They used to drink spring water to purify their energy and to became undistinguished and fluid as water. To reach inner melting.

...And now it is that subtle dancing music which excites the desire not to dance but to listen carefully. Of course it doesnt deny dancing) What is more, its full of interesting acoustic effects and live performance makes the musical canvas clear, fresh and very warm at the same time.

...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...

This is the dimension of fairy-tales those, real, in which there is always incomparably more of truth than in daily news. However, such stories are usually named not fairy-tales, but legends and myths some wisdom, which no shallow knowledge is able to overcome, always stands behind them. And at the same time, Sniff, Humpty Dumpty or Horseshoe Bird feel perfect there...

..the spaces of, in particular, Andrey Kiritchenko regardless of what exact mixtures he prepares this or another time are always an invitation to a very intimate, that is friendly, calm-and-attentive dialog. Exactly a dialog the audience's attention creates this music together with the musician, that's why each time this music may be substantially different. And must be different.

Just an ideal balance between affability to the listener and self-absorbed contemplation. Conditionally, a sort of semi-acoustic, minimalist trip-hop. But far not any trip-hop would afford so much fresh, transparent air in sounding as here.

"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.

Every new work by Dmytro Fedorenko aka Kotra is something interesting, non-trivial. But this time his new album, probably, will most of all entertain fans of the minimalist discrete noise if this sort of a definition makes any sense at all. However, it does not describe all compositions on the album there are rhythmic structures, and structured noise...

..the monotonous repetition of the structure of formal motions results in that you stop taking this structure into account, noticing it from now on you see quite different things here. This, if you wish, can be compared with Buddhists' reading of mantras: first you set a structure, and then you go beyond its scopes. So, Kotra has not abandoned the quest and again tries to fit the listener into a situation of liberation.

..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.

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.

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...

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...
