Shkaf from Contiguity by Dunaewsky69
Label Shaped Harmonics presents a new release introducing the creative works of Olexander Gladun, resident of Kiev, Ukraine. The album Contiguity is his debut work within the project called Dunaewsky69. But by no means is this the start of the artist's creative development. A long creative search and experiments in different styles of music are already behind his shoulders. Musical past of Olexander is strongly connected with hard music and styles like grind core, death metal, noise, noise core. He's been playing in such bands as HAIMORITH and Outer Orgasm, and this pastime of "happy, hard and spontaneously recorded music" was resulted in joint release with CSSO - a band from Japan.
At the beginning Dunaewsky69 was conceived as a project for analogue noise music, but gradually the artist has moved to idm / braindance areas. As a result, comes the album Contiguity, presenting material which may be surprising for people who already familiar with previous musical output of Olexander Gladun. This CD is full of light atmospheric melodies and simple beats, floating in the air and constantly wrapping listener in warm and cosy blanket of sounds, providing great environment for dreaming.
Staalplaat/Vital:
Some time ago the label Shaped Harmonics was run by Novel 23 and Ambidextrous, both known and important figures from the Russian new stream of melodic idm influenced music, but now the label is run only by the melodic craftsman Novel 23. On this album release all tracks are written and produced by Dunaewsky69, that's Alex Gladun, another unknown Russian artist who makes classy music in the melodic style. It's definitely not typical idm, that's for sure, but nevertheless the songs are still pretty much classic and conventional, with influences from few styles and genres. The general impression is that the artist is trying to achieve the melodic moments with more firm and concrete sound, like Novel 23's album on Bip Hop. Dunaewsky69 probably uses some old Russian analog synthesizers too, I guess. I'd compare this music with the more energetic tracks from Ulrich Schnauss, this time going into shoegaze-idm direction maybe? Shoegaze with synths, not guitar distorsion, even though the guitar (alike) sound is present here from time to time. Also, there's blurry drum'n'bass rhythm in one track called Hilli Jona, and the rhythm is very much pointed out everytime. The synths add an electro flavour sometime, Solvent alike, as in the second track Haresh with it's intensively developing atmosphere and more harsher. Maybe the rhythm is too narrow sometime, as in Luo, when it sounds like it's played with drums, but it's still programed. In all the tracks all these elements are arranged in different ways and they make different shapes of the songs. So, you can choose your favourites. One of mine this time is Wyky.
