    Kryptogen Rundfunk ‎– Liquid Circuits
    Label: Zhelezobeton ‎– ZHB-LXV
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 07 Oct 2016
    Style: Drone, Noise, Experimental

    “Liquid Circuits” is the second solo studio album by Kryptogen Rundfunk released 12 years after the debut album “22.SZ” (Mechanoise Labs, 2004). The gap between these two works was filled with many collaborations and split recordings with such artists as Hladna, Lunar Abyss, Neznamo, Umpio, Forgttn, to name a few, and many tracks on various experimental and noise music compilations. Behind the project stands M.M., also known for running the ZHELEZOBETON and Muzyka Voln labels and participating in other projects such as Hattifnatter, Govorit Radio Kosmos, etc.

    The album is built on the use of analogue synthesizers and effect processors, various found sounds, samples and, of course, traditional for this project multiple kinds of radio noises and interceptions recorded both in home studio and various unusual places (the Caucasus mountains, Kola polar region, several cities of Western Europe…). Kryptogen Rundfunk combines elements of sound collage, drone and dark ambient, power electronics, chaotic and structured noise, weaving his multilayered musical fabric from them. Sonic streams radiate with all shades of frequencies, looped pieces of interference spiral out and soft rhythmic pulsations make room for scorching detailed electric noise burning out holes in sonic perception.

    Creation VI & Uhushuhu ‎– Δ
    Label: Muzyka Voln ‎– MV-XI
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 29 Dec 2016

    Improvised live-in-studio session between Creation VI (at that point Tim Six & Aloe) and Uhushuhu, recorded in May 2016 and then slightly edited by both projects.

    «Masters of the new wave of Russian drone ambient present their collaboration work. A narrative streaming out of the green thicket of a fictional forest as a cloud of purple fog pierced by flashes of resonating harmonies and ghostly echoes. A dense organic cobweb of field recordings, voices, acoustic instruments and electronic manipulations. A dream filled with bright colours or a psychedelic slumber with a whirling kaleidoscope of asymmetric images and visions. A sonic fantasy so pleasant to dive into together with the musicians and spend some time in the company of your own subconscious mind…»
