about

This collaborative product by [S] and M.M. is a black twin of their previous work [W]interloop[s] – kryptogen.bandcamp.com/album/w-interloop-s. If [W]interloop[s] is dominated by a filigree play of frequencies and a needle-frost coziness – “Dissoluteness” opens the door into anarchaos of technogenic frustration pressed by purposeful randomness.

The recording comprises fragments of radio broadcasts, EV-phenomena living their own lives, haunting signals and phantom sounds. It almost took years to create the opus, as the experiment was very time-comsuming. All sources went through the tape again and again with one and only purpose – to amplify defects and artifacts to the utmost. Repeated re-re-re-recording of the phonogram resulted in a canvas of unpredictable landscape, woven from interferences of ornate structures.

A modest masterpiece of degenerative arts and crafts, a discreet monument to unkown victims of psychotronic wars – in a form of an art object.

Новый совместный продукт [S] и М.М. – это черный близнец их предыдущей коллаборации [W]interloop[s] – kryptogen.bandcamp.com/album/w-interloop-s. Если на [W]interloop[s] царили филигранная работа с частотами и морозно-игольчатый уют, то Dissoluteness распахивает дверь в гуляй-поле техногенной фрустрации, где свищет оголтелый произвол.

Запись собрана из фрагментов радиоэфиров, электронных голосов, живущих своей жизнью, навязчивых сигналов и звуковых наводок. На создание записи ушли чуть ли не годы в силу трудоемкости поставленного эксперимента. Все исходники пропускались через пленку снова и снова с единственной целью: как можно сильнее усилить изъяны и артефакты. В результате многократного пере-пере-переписывания фонограммы возникло полотно непредсказуемого рельефа, сотканное из помех витиеватой структуры.

Скромный шедевр дегенеративно-прикладного искусства, неброский памятник безымянным жертвам психотронных войн – в форме арт-объекта.

33 кассеты помещены в жесткую книжную обложку формата А6. Черные корпуса с двусторонней тампопечатью примотаны к обложке 40-сантиметровой киперной лентой, нарезанной вручную. Лента навевает приятные воспоминания о медицинских бинтах и одновременно о завязках советских папок для дел (конечно, совершенно ОСОБЫХ дел). В обложку вклеен шнурок, за который, словно вкладыш в дипломе об образовании (надеемся, но без особого энтузиазма, что речь об образовании доброкачественном), заложен листок А5. Он согнут пополам и содержит критически важную, но частично засекреченную информацию. Каждый из 33 листков пронумерован вручную. Артворк обложки выполнен в смешанной технике с минимальным использованием цифровых инструментов художником Иваном Спицыным (Нижний Новгород).

Использованная для (де)генерации звука аппаратура найдена на железном стыке современности и технологий прошлого времени: Degen DE1103, Polyvox, Dave Smith Tetra, Tesla Studio Echo, Sochor Echo, Jupiter-201-Stereo, Astra-110-1-Stereo, Philips EL 3548.
