Masterly Carvers of Sound 

They are both masters of carving out delicate sound structures. Following their first collaboration for Andrey Kiritchenko’s album Misterrious and an initial concert in France in the summer of 2012, the two musicians are now set to take to the stage together once again. The performance was preceded by several intense days of work in Martin Brandlmayr’s studio in Upper Austria that also laid the foundation for a joint release that had been in the planning for some time. 

The duo concert at the musikprotokoll festival is our return invitation. In May 2013 Andrey Kiritchenko invited us to Kiev to hold the third ECAS Partner Meeting at the NextSound festival, which is organised by the avant label Nexsound. Founded by Kiritchenko 14 years ago, Nexsound has become the most important label for Ukrainian experimental electronic and related music. The success of the label is to be credited to its director Kiritchenko, who has not only an open but a finely tuned ear for new forms of avant music, whether they be from Ukraine, Russia, France or the USA.
