Alla ZagaykevychAlla Zagaykevych - To Escape, To Breathe, To Keep Silence [ns47] (February 8, 2005)

"This is a 45 minutes long record. Each track is 15 minutes long composition. First part of this trilogy is electronics with violin, second part - with voice, and third part with piano. All three parts are a hyperactive ball of sounds and their follows and consequences that are not rational at a glance. "To escape" is distorted and convulsive music, "To breathe" - muted and arrect and "To keep silence" - falling down to eternal air pits. Events happen in few dimensions at the same time: we hear tiny pricks of piano or violin shade away by electronics, or a sudden foreside blow of electronics with acoustic groans and scrabbles on the background. This is a very hard to listen "avant-guard" music, however attractive, exile, big and weird at the same time.
This music speaks with us but not on human language of suburban logic, it speaks on its own subjectively ideal tongue."
D.Kolokol "

Subject: difficult but deserves listening
i just listened to this release while reading 'The Screwtape Letters' and it provided an appropriately eerie, mystifying, mesmerising atmosphere. this is indeed 'difficult' music, at times frustratingly abrasive, abstract and strage. and yet the analogue sounds and intuitive construction contribute to the overall mood and feeling and work well. the form and structure is captivating, drawing you in and ultimately building to a startling climax. not for everyone, but an interesting listen if you're in the mood for abstract and rough experimentalism...
