Transliaciya
A post-minimalist album inspired by the chaos theory
Transliaciya can be translated as “broadcast” or “transmission”, but I mean it in a more physical sense. Force passing from one body to another, from one decision to the next, from one life into the next life.
At the core of the record is a small obsession of mine from that time: certain numbers keep repeating in people’s lives. I talked to different people about their “important” numbers and wrote pieces that relate to them. Some tracks are portraits; others are short interludes - moods between the conversations.
Sonically, this is where I started to bring together a few worlds I cared about: contemporary classical writing, the timbral focus of electronic music, and the emotional weight I associate with post-rock and shoegaze.
The album was released as a hand-assembled limited edition of 150 copies by Preserved Sound.
Press
“…elegant and exceptionally crafted suite of warmly affecting music for sparse strings and electronics.”
“Spannend, melancholisch en bovenal wonderschoon geheel.”
