Three untitled tracks

This 3”CD-R is limited to 250 pieces and seems to be some kind of split between Kryptogen Rundfunk and Hladna, two Russian projects. It consists of 3 untitled tracks.

The first track begins with low synths sounds, with a repettive pattern consisting of parasites and rawer sounds, the whole being lowly evolving. We note some sounds stay on one side while others stay on another side. There are few variations of patterns, sporadic steady rhythmed smooth beats. The second tracks follows on with small noises, distortions, parasites, while a lower bass is still used. Then the track goes on focused on the pusling synth bass while other weird 'as random' noises are developped on the other side. Sound is often torn apart, deformed, sinking in ultra-low frequencies, before going high again. The third track is closer to the first with a more hermetic structure. Again we find this total separation of several noises between left and right canals. We notice changes between both, while other noisy digressions are developped...

Tracks' length goes from 5 min to 9. Although some patterns and some repetitive sounds, it's often difficult to find some coherence, some clear strucutre within tracks. They remain minimalists, deal rather with atmospheres, thus deserves the qualificative of ambient. The atmosphere sounds really electric, indus, but not brutal at all, with few or no aggressive sounds. It's ambient, really experimental, but not that original.

Sounds manipulations are rather subtle. Sounds seems to be fine for such a non demanding music style. The striking and maybe disputable element is the strong lateralization of some sounds: while you have a pulsing bass in one side/ear/earphone, you've distorted noises on the other side. The whole can be qualified as highly experimental and hermetic. For connoisseurs and afficionados only.
