About this album

  • Updated: 10/06/2009

 

 

 Ivan1984 - Voice, lyrics,  cover photo, tatoo on the back, EP's title,  pneumonia ...

Cvijaxo - Noises and synths,  lyrics, cover design (bad, bad thing), morning depressions ...

 (Don't forget that clicking on the title link of the song reveals lyrics for it.)

Here comes Ivan1984 & Cvijaxo collaboration  based on exchange of ideas and mails between the two. This EP is taken from and some kind of announcement for Cvijaxo's  Jamendo album with working title "Twilight Prayers" coming this fall which will contain some poetry readings, more from Ivan and more of sound experiments and who knows what else. 

Serpent is one of readings on album. It's Ivan's text and Cvijaxo noise. There is three incarnations here :

Serpent (Ivan) is raw skiss Cvijaxo sent to Ivan with ideas and places where "real" keyboard should came. But Ivan kind of like it and we decided that it'll be main EP version.

Serpent (Cvijaxo) - Is Cvijaxo's text inspired by Ivan's text and reading of Serpent. (Notice some kind of heaviness in Ivans voice. That's pneumonia).

Serpent Album version - Is variant Cvijaxo intended to include on album.

... and Ivan's voice who says things I can understand, I am waiting to download the album (impossible right now) to listen carefully to what he has to say. Thanks guys. The sounding music is perfect and dresses the voice perfectly. I am floating on clouds. If you enjoyed their albums, dont miss that one.

Cvijaxo's atmospheric mix of music and sounds along with Ivan's lyrics. The textures added to Ivan's lyrics really add to that atmospheric feel. I'm alone in a crowded room of bodies. I'm in an industrialized zone. I'm questioning if serpents are hiding their intelligence and secrets of the universe behind their blank eyes.

Very impressive and amazing. I prefer the first because it's the more raw and because the voice is better (for me) than the second and because the introduction is more impressive than the third, wich is more progressive but very interesting too. It's good to listen the three versions. Thanks.

Un thème: le serpent, deux textes, trois versions. Une atmosphère musicale fascinante qui évoque le pouvoir du basilic, serpent-roi, capable de pétrifier celui qui fixe son regard. Ne pas choisir, les 3 versions se complètent et se répondent. Un tout, une réflexion sur l'un et le multiple, l'infini, la différence, la connaissance.

symmetrische Schlangenbeschwörung

Schlangenbeschwörung, symmetrischer Verschlüsselungsalgorithmus oder Verfolgungswahn? Dinge, die beim Hören in den Sinn kommen. Cvijaxo zeigt uns hier also den Schaffensgang eines Songs. Serpent Ivan gefällt mir besser als die zweite Variante, da sie weniger auf Verzerrungen setzt. Der Song schafft mit minimalen Mitteln die passende Atmosphäre zu Ivans Lyrics. Um so interessanter ist es, dass die Album Version dann mehr der ersten Variante ähnelt und das ist gut so. Die wenigen Sounds sind gut gewählt und eingesetzt und durch Stereoeffekte zur Geltung gebracht. Ivan ist in einer guten Lautstärke eingemixt, er ist der wichtige Part des Songs und das hört man. Ich muss allerdings sagen, es ist wohl an der Zeit, dass wir alle mal etwas Geld zusammenlegen und Ivan ein ordentliches Mikrophon kaufen. Scheinbar gibt es nun auch die ersten Fotos des Künstlers (Cover)?
