Igor Krutogolov - Muzika Elektronika [T'an ! kaven ! Ash! - 2006]

Muzika Elektronika bangs and forces together jackhammer beat work, electro noise discharged, screwed up and corrupted melodic elements, and watery & rich ambient sound exploitation, that more often then  not, becomes  soured.

Igor Krutogolov will be know by many for his work as part of both Agnivolok and chaos as a shelter and many other projects. But here he seems to step away from his familiar sounds into something quite different. Starting off  with deeply angered , rapid and erratic take on Merzbow more electronic beat based  material, then slowly but surely he adds more subtle melodic & ambient  touches till we come to midway point of the album with  the  track white which is all out lush string ambient loop with shadows of noise corrosion  at the sidelines. Before  He once more turns up the intensity  with the particular nasty breackcore via noise on  red + Brown. And this is how the rest of the disk plays out- a crossbreeding of  beat heavy noise to  more subtle and lush elements, making an interesting and rewarding contrast of sounds, which  you don’t quite know were it will go next. He also managed to breed into the material elements of demented advertising jingle and abused music box tunes, which fits nicely into the TV testcard cover concept.

A different and rabid take on sound from a very versatile and talented musician. This was released on the noise/ experimental sub label of the eastern front. To find out more go directly to here.
