Ilia Belorukov - Miguel A. Garcia - Alfredo Costa Monteiro - Etwas

Three artists combining together for a very focused odyssey into an unfamiliar aural world. Although these sounds melt ends and amalgamate into a drone environment, this is not that kind of composition. Listening closely, the sonic fabric Ilia, Miguel and Alfredo weave together is made from finely crafted individual threads. Each sound stitch in a braided pattern with infinite beginning and ends. The details are beautifully apparent, yet incredibly subtle. Brought to life from mediums yet to be fully understood.

If you can imagine a noise record with two side long tracks, each over twenty minutes in length, this would be a good start. Now take this aural image and create the negative of it in your mind. Colors are gone, dark shades of grey scale taking their place. The features easily heard, loud and almost violent, have been reversed. New aspects have become audible, these are faint, connecting together in a way so extremely different. Somehow the remnants of noise still can be heard, but there is a unfathomable murkiness each component drifts in. The process produces an ambient fluidity, but maintains individual aspects from start to finish.

Released on Tanuki Records in an edition of ninety. This is release number thirty two for the Belgium label. With the combination of experience and talent Ilia, Miguel and Alfredo have, it is rare to see a coalescence so understated and graceful. Tanuki Records maintains a vanguard station on the thresholds of aural creativity. Copies are currently available.
