Herandu - Ocher Red - Boomkat describes this as "something like early Squarepusher crossed with Weather Report" and that's all I needed to hear

Once again it's quite difficult to pin down exactly what's going on through Herandu's debut album, Ocher Red, but its a little bit like Metalheadz meets Weather Report out on the Siberian steppes... Herandu are brothers Evgeny and Mikhail Gavrilov from Novosibirsk in Siberia. Mikhail and his brother have played music together since they were very young eventually forming the band FPRF together in the mid 2000's. Eventually the group split as the members dispersed around Russia, but Evgeny and Mikhail continued to make music, Evgeny under the alias Dyad and Mikhail under the name Misha Sultan (some of you may remember his excellent cassette, Roots, which came out on Hive Mind in 2022). Herandu was born in 2022 during several studio sessions they managed to grab whilst both visiting Siberia. They both quickly realised that together they were making music that didn't quite sound like either of their solo projects but which was influenced by the music of their formative years. Their friend Vladimir Luchansky was invited in to add saxophone and the result is an 'urban music' that's as influenced by the gritty cityscapes of '70s TV cop thrillers as it is by 21st Century urbanism. The paintings on the album cover are by Italian artist Mauro Reggio, who kindly allowed us to use his work, and whose paintings seem to convey something of the mood of Herandu...

sr011 - Jelena Glazova & Grigorij Avrorin / Bisamråtta - Split

Вновь Спина представляет сплит-запись! Елена Глазова, гостья из Риги, отыграла дуэтом с петербуржцем Григорием Аврориным на том же фестивале Фуллдозер, где был записан релиз Сергея Костырко и Рутгера Зуйдервельта. Елена занималась созданием бэкграунда и направлением музыки для почти что соло-партий Григория на бас-гитаре. Получилось отстранённо и иногда пугающе мрачно! В противовес этому светлая вторая сторона и проект Bisamratta, за которым скрывается Владимир Лучанский из Новосибирска, с недавних пор живущий в Петербурге. Гитарный эмбиент в его наилучшем проявлении: музыка для размышлений, сна и расслабления. Spina presents a split-record again! Jelena Glazova, guest from Riga, played duet with Grigorij Avrorin, musician from St. Petersburg, at Fulldozer festival where the release of Sergey Kostyrko and Rutger Zuydervelt was recorded. Jelena worked to create a background and direction for almost bass solos of Grigorij. It turned out distantly and sometimes frighteningly bleak! In contrast, there is a bright side with music of project Bisamratta. It was formed by Vladimir Luchansky, musician from Novosibirsk which has recently been living in St. Petersburg. This is a guitar ambient at its best: music for meditation, relaxation and sleep. 

Edition of 25, released on March 5, 2015

Split by Jelena Glazova & Grigorij Avrorin / Bisamråtta

Reviews:

“SR011 with its gorgeous blue cover art is a split item. The duo of Jelena Glazova & Grigorij Avrorin came about when Jelena (visiting from Riga) appeared at the Fulldozer Festival and got involved in creating some form of accompaniment for Grigorij’s minimal synth solos. Six tracks of disconcerting bleak industrial noise were the result, music which I find impressive for its near-complete lack of humanity, unpredictable moments, and highly Spartan arrangements filled with weird gaps. I’d like to think the pair found their way to this unique, unrepeatable place through purely intuitive methods. Their grim sonic pronouncements would make ideal background music for a visit to an urban “development”, of which there seem to be a lot in London just now; it’s the sound of claustrophobia and blocked pathways. It’s rather rare to find women involved in this genre of music, so Jelena’s imaginative approach is most welcome; she comes to it from a background in visual art and poetry. Bisamratta offers a single track, ‘Beregu’, on his side of the split, some 28 minutes of advanced guitar ambient drone. Vladimir Luchansky is one of the burgeoning Novosibirsk crowd who clearly pits himself against the “stupid happy Techno music” which currently entertains Russia’s youth (he would probably see it as a blight), and instead frequents the many seedy cabaret bars in that city in search of alternative sounds. He ain’t no Robert Fripp on the strength of this recording, but his effects-laden guitar music quickly drops down to reach the ice-cold temperatures that are required for Spina!Recs admissibility. The sustained near-magnetic humming drone is undercut later on with puzzling field recording additions of speaking voices, radio samples, water effects, and solar winds from outer space. It almost becomes the soundtrack to a Russian cosmonaut sci-fi movie of the 1960s.” (Ed Pinsent, The Sound Projector)

“On the final tape we find some more recordings from the Fulldozer festival (where also Kostyrko/Zuydervelt was recorded) but all from people I never heard of. On the first side a duet of Jelena Glazova and Grigorij Avrorin, which is a duet between bass by the latter and voice, laptop, controller by the former. I think Glazova picks up sounds produced by Avrorin and the results is a bunch of pieces, or so the cover indicates, of improvised, noisy electronics around the doodling of the bas guitar. Most of the time loud and deep, but also very computer minded, this music. I wasn't too sure about this. It sounded a bit too noisy for me. On the other side there is Bisamratta, the musical project of Vladimir Luchansky. Recently he moved from Novosibirsk to St. Peterbsurg and the cover gives him credit for guitars and Soviet movies. Maybe he uses samples of the latter in his work, it seems so, but perhaps I don't know that much about Soviet movies. Not credited, but no doubt a present feature is the extended use of sound effects in the music, to expand on such themes as 'atmosphere' and 'drone'. It's a completely different side than the other, and it's great, spacious music. Bisamratta sounds like a wide-open space, in the twilight of the day: shimmering and hazy. Not exactly new, but quite exactly great music. “ (Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly)

http://fancymusic.ru/roman-stolyar-vladimir-luchansky-duets/ “Duets” is a collaboration of two most active members of Siberian community of musicians and improvisers. Luchansky and Stolyar played together for some years, mainly in groups organized by Siberian new jazz patriarch, Sergey Belichenko. Together they played with well-known improvisers who visited Novosibirsk: Assif Tsahar, Oliver Lake, Glen Hall, William Parker. That is why at the time of duet album recording the musicians were сo-ordinated perfectly and spoke the same language, even multiple-languages of contemporary free improvisation. Inquisitive listener will find different things in the music of duet: radical “non-idiomology” originating from Derek Bailey, meditative modality, minimalism, sonorous techniques and bright melodic lines. All pieces from the album contrast sharply with each other, but at the same time they are the parts of unified whole, as from a fancy curls of pattern imprinted on the window on a cold day, revealing a fabulous picture of exotic Siberian nature for many people.

Vladimir Luchansky - Cape Langeron (VULP-0220)

A Netlabel Day 2022 Release

A beguiling collage of signals, people - their thoughts and lives - drowned in a radio haze, clashing with the fragments of keys. Psychic echoes of an Odessa that can never quite be again.

Words from the artist:

Dedicated to places Of which only memories are left Stray and shattered Without a chance to be revived Without a change to be revisited Mourned forever within a skull Selective and condensed

With love

Vulpiano Records Sampler EP: Vol. 15 (VULP-0207) Welcome back for another filing in this discreetly dark era of Vulpiano, where organically recurring overtones have surfaced amongst the artists foraging herein. As per usual, we present diverse music with an experimental heart. We move through many melancholic, slow-burning hinterlands of sound collage, possessed phonographs, and transmission wave existentialism. But before that, there are hazy impressions of a never-summer, aqua-nostalgia, and acid-nocturnal driving music that scales an ambient bridge to settle outside a shimmering 2-step trance club. A revolving stable of artists with their distinct approaches once again enriches the whole.

Vulpiano Records Sampler EP: Vol. 14 (VULP-0205) As the leaves settle on the wreckage of another year, an older and wiser Vulpiano can be glimpsed between the trees with another offering: highlights from the musical ether that the label perennially inhabits.

Human voices are sparse, and the overall mood is introspective, languid, and often seemingly exiled out of time. Technique, form, and medium are all on equal footing. Treasured mainstay artists who have joined us from across the globe all get a look in: the delicate micro-dance of ish10 yow1r0, the adept New Age heart of Brevyn, the darkly vapored bedroom synth of King Elizabeth, and more.

Vladimir Luchansky - Never Exposed, Gently Nourished (VULP-0186)

Warped tape plays, echoes, dereliction. Shafts of light shine through shattered windows onto creeping ivy and peeling paint. A resonance between history and nature is felt. Radio signals point to the arrival of dissolution, the cycles of time.

Words from the artist:

"Life is coming up in many recurring ways – some call them spirals or circles, but I'd rather say it's pretty much like tape curls. Your song is played until the tape runs out, sometimes you can experience jamming, print-through or another issue but it's pretty much going until the end of side A. All these little things are making tapes very special for me and I am happy to share my new work which is about artifacts of life, random events and love. I used tape machines and peculiar unpredictable devices to capture the idea of personal development that goes through tightly packed tape that was hidden in the attic for past twenty years. Hope you will enjoy it."
