andrey kiritchenko – interplays, in between (ad noiseam)

ad noiseam is one of the most interesting labels that are releasing experimental music nowadays. they are releasing various styles in electronic experimental music. from dark hop variations of horchata, sound collages of wilt, micronoise minimalistics of cordel klier, melodic and rhythmic electronics of andrey kiritchenko... after his first ad noiseam release in 2003, he is back with a new one. kniga skazok had a more rhythmic and melodic orientation with the concept of interpreting traditional fairy tales. this time he shows his sound and style interests in making a crossover with these two favorised styles. on one hand you can find microglitches, clicks, subtle melodies and controlled rhythmic clicks n cuts. and on the other hand more experimental sounds: from rough field recordings, noisy frequencies and distorted voices to sinewaves and continuous glitches. but the richness of sounds does not stop here. in all these electronic combinations you can also recognize acoustic instruments and use of strings which gives it another dimension, a human touch and emotion. the arrangements are repetitive and hypnotic giving the album trancey feeling. although this is a quite dark release, it is also very subtle, calm and quiet.
