Album description

English

Qwartz's second compilation presents Russian artists and labels to celebrate jamendo's Russian version. We also included some non-Russian artists, because Russian labels work with and produce artists from around the world.

This compilation is dedicated to the excellent netlabels Musica Excentrica and Electrosound that unfortunately shut down late 2008. Nikita Golyshev aka CD-R who used to run them is present on the compilation with his own compositions and a collaboration with Quest Room Project. The Test Pressing and Species of Fishes tracks were produced on these labels too.

Alexei Borisov is a talented and incontrovertible artist of the experimental Russian scene. He co-founded the N&B Research Digest label.

Also on this compilation, the very active label Clinical Archives: you can find further works of Luminous (UK), Djet (Russia), Orvonton (Mexico) on http://clinicalarchives.blogspot.com/.

Вторая компиляция Qwartz представляет российских исполнителей и лейблы с целью отпраздновать появление российской версии jamendo. Мы также включили исполнителей не только из России, так как русские лейблы работают и создают исполнителей по всему миру.

Эта компиляция посвящается превосходным нет-лейблам Musica Excentrica и Electrosound, которые, к сожалению, прекратили свое существование в конце 2008 года. Никита Голышев, иначе CD-R, прежний их руководитель, представляет на компиляции свой собственный состав и сотрудничает с проектом Quest Room. Треки The Test Pressing и Species of Fishes были также произведены на этих лейблах.

Алексей Борисов - талантливый и неповторимый исполнитель экспериментальной российской сцены. Он является одним из основателей лейбла N&B Research Digest [http://www.nbresearchdigest.com/]. Также на этой компиляции присутствует активный лейбл Clinical Archives: Вы можете найти еще и работы Luminous (Англия), Djet (Россия), Orvonton (Мексика) на http://clinicalarchives.blogspot.com/.

Qwartz présente sa seconde compilation, exclusivement composée de titres sortis sur des labels russes, pour inaugurer l’ouverture de Jamendo en Russie. Tous les artistes présents ont été pré-sélectionnés aux Qwartz 5 et la plupart d’entre eux sont russes. Nous avons tenus à présenter deux artistes non-russes, car des artistes du monde entier se produisent sur des labels russes.

Nous dédions cette compilation aux labels Musica Excentrica et Electrosound qui, malgré leur grande qualité, ont fermé fin 2008. Nikita Golyshev aka CD-R, qui les manageait, est présent sur cette nouvelle sélection Qwartz, avec des compositions personnelles et une collaboration avec Quest Room Project. Les morceaux de Test Pressing et Species of Fishes sont sortis sur ces deux labels.

Alexei Borisov est un artiste avant-gardiste et incontournable de la scène expérimentale russe, il a co-fondé le label N&B Research Digest.

La compilation présente également des œuvres du très actif netlabel Clinical Archives. De nombreux titres de Luminous (UK), Djet (Russie), Orvonton (Mexique) sont en libre téléchargement sur http://clinicalarchives.blogspot.com/.

Die zweite Qwartz-Compilation präsentiert einige russische Künstler und Labels. Ein Anlass hierfür ist natürlich die noch frische russische Version von Jamendo. Dabei sind jedoch nicht nur Künstler aus Russland, sondern aus aller Welt, weil die russischen Labels diverse Künstler auf globaler Ebene fördern.

Diese Compilation ist den exzellenten Netlabels Musica Excentrica und Electrosound gewidmet, die leider Ende 2008 den Betrieb eingestellt haben. Der Betreiber Nikita Golyshev aka CD-R ist mit seinen eigenen Kompositionen und einer Kollaboration mit dem Quest Room Project auf der Compilation vorhanden. Die Test Pressing und Species of Fishes Songs wurden ebenfalls von diesen Labels produziert.

Alexei Borisov ist ein talentierter und unbestreitbarer Künstler der experimentellen russischen Szene. Er ist auch Mitbegründer des N&B Research Digest Label.

Außerdem ist auf der Compilation noch das sehr aktive Label Clinical Archives. Zusätzliche Werke von Luminous (UK), Djet (Russland) und Orvonton (Mexico) findet man unter http://clinicalarchives.blogspot.com/.

Ta kompilacja jest poświęcona wspaniałym net-labelom Musica Excentrica i Electrosound, które niestety zakończyły swoją działalność w 2008 roku. Nikita Golyshev znany jako CD-R, który je prowadził, jest na niej obecny poprzez swoje własne kompozycje i współpracę z Quest Room Project. Utwory Test Pressing i Species of Fishes również były wyprodukowane przez te labele.

Alexei Borisov to niezaprzeczalnie utalentowany artysta rosyjskiej sceny eksperymentalnej. Jest współzałożycielem labelu N&B Research Digest.

Very appealing mixture...

We start this compilation with Luminous (You Know What I Want). It is quite minimalist in structure, an incessant beat but with a fine scattering of whirling synthetics around it, rather than falling into the 'big beat' trap and being merely repetition on a dull scale. It kind of evolves, which in a sense reflects an essence of life, except if you read Aldous Huxley, where he states (and I paraphrase) that life evolves to the point of a plateau and then is subject to entropy and breakdown. However, such a view was typically empirical when it was written in the 50s, and biological, not spiritual, wherein things continually evolve and progress albeit in different forms. Life goes on incessently, so should music if it is to represent it.

The second track, CD-R (Pyat), instantly has me thinking of Autechre, a favourite of mine, though perhaps it's the title that does it. More of a lo-fi effort, nice and open, expressive and optimistic. Like a cyborg version of Stereolab (another favourite, I have many I know, but there you go!). Again, there is a sense of progression with a constancy that is inherent in expression of any artistic endeavour. I like it and somehow anticipated, in that it seems to reach a peak and then breakdown to its end.

Djet (Spiral Trip) is next. The artist I have listened to before, I believe. Almost a dubstep style to it, heavy on the bass and a lovely energy to it as it whirls around your cerebellum. Excellent sound construction, that again has a sense of development to it. Orvonton (Para um) is a refreshingly bright, piece of creative expression, nicely playing on the piano playing. It seems to revolve around its evolving. A strong melody, interspersed with moments of almost frantic activity, that cross into quieter moments of musicality. Quite some variation within a single track, nicely done.

Track five, Nikita Golyschev (Sphere) has a beautiful scintillating start, that blossoms well into a very dynamic ambient soundscape, like a revolving sphere on an off-centre axis, orbiting a burning core of a star on a wobbling ellipsis. It is serene without being a light drone. Nice flow. Test Pressing (Murmansk Empty Snow Clad Street) has a freeform jazz atmosphere to it. Scattered percussion, and rhythmic melodiousness, with a busy background suitable to any street in Russia, as equally dressed in snow, I would imagine. Quite pleasant and positive, with a wonderful end piece.

CD-R and Quest Room Project (Part 2) offers the listener quite an abstract creative construction of sound manipulation. Very interesting and acute as it is obtuse in its musical perspectives which, with all these tracks, offer a real view into avant garde electronic musical expression. Again, never a dull or repetitive moment. Species Of Fishes (Live Four) follows on, this time more structured and easily amenable to the listener, though that is not to detract from the apparent lack of form of any of the other tracks. That is done in their own special way and relevant similarly. Here the track, develops more obviously and is quite a stark contrast. And, again progressive whilst retaining a constancy of force and stamina.

The final track of this fantastic compilation is Alexei Borisov (Cakeshop), which creeps into existence slowly, with a deep, dark atmosphere that is simply exquisite from the start. Again, abstract in design, like an aural painting that creates an ever-changing mood, as far as the mood of a cakeshop could change. There are some wonderful concoctions of sound formation and combination with a wonderful aroma of freshly baked musical creative expression. I feel like the voice is saying, 'I'll have one of those, one of those, and three of those please?' And revelling in the wonderful taste of a cinnamon pastry. It never stops changing, each bite is a slightly different textual experience and it just keeps going. Wonderful stuff. Great compilation. Fantastic concept in bringing together such amazing works, truly the vanguard of electronic music.
