Andrey KiritchenkoAndrey Kiritchenko interprets Second Violin - VE.COND.SIO.LIN (May 1, 2003)

Andrey Kiritchenko (www.nexsound.org) is well known from his CD releases on Zeromoon, Adnauseum, and his own Nexsound imprint. Here he remixes a track from Second Violin's "Victoria", which was a live improvisation between Zan Hoffman on prepared drawer (a dresser drawer with wires and strings attached and filled with trash) and Jeff Surak on prepared violin (as depicted on the release cover). You can hear the original acoustic improv here: http://www.archive.org/details-db.php?mediatype=audio&identifier=zero107a

Kiritchenko & Surak are both members of the group Critikal, who have several mp3 releases:

Notes

"Second Violin was an improvisation group featuring Jeff Surak, Zann Hoffman, Adam Bohman and Rinus van Alebeek - I believe the latter two collaborated via the postal system. The busy as ever bee Andrey Kiritchenko remixes, or maybe more appropiate, recycles recordings by Second Violin in his "usual" laptop manner. None of the bands normal work can be easily recognized in here. It beeps and hisses, hums and hisses. Over the course of twenty minutes he works nicely through the material and transforms the pure acoustic material into pure electronic material." - Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly

Subject: Minimal

Yeah, what to say? It's not bad. During the first three minutes or so there's a really low hum and initially there isn't a lot going on. There's never going to be a lot going on in this piece either. It's all about minimal, dark humming with sudden glitches. If you like Andy's previous outings, you'll probably like this as well. I like to listen to it sometimes, since it spreads a mysterious yet quite relaxing vibe. Strange, but true... :)
