MAEROR TRI - 'The A.V.E. - Tapes / Live In Nevers' CD (Zhelezobeton)
Maeror Tri existed from 1988-1996 (members now recording as Troum and 1000schoen). Over those nine years they made a serious contribution to the development of the European post-industrial scene, focusing on the transcendental quality of sound, its ability to expand consciousness and to awaken timeless and non-personal spiritual experiences. They recorded their industrial drone ambient music with the use of guitars, percussion, tape loops, various objects and effects, turning everything in a coherent flux of unconscious drones. This CD contains the last unreleased recordings by Maeror Tri. Four tracks are fragments of the band's 12-hour concert at the Audio-Visual-Experimental festival in Arnhem, Netherlands in November 1995; the fifth track is a part of their performance at the Musique Ultimes festival in Nevers, France in May 1995. The material was remastered from the original DAT tapes by Sergey Uak-Kib (Kshatriy). Ltd x 500 hand-numbered copies in a digifile with artwork by Vresnit.
A collaboration of two congenial projects dedicated to the Symbols of Creative Rotation. A retrospective journey by a bird through smells of melting herb songs and contemplation of the mysteries of Life. They flow with Water, from Ice to the boundless lakes dancing in moss. Following to Earth, walking the dense forests, winds and marshes, meeting the Heart Guardians. All the cycles of nature follow each other, Fire goes to Water and Earth goes to Heaven. All invocations in the name of Life. Many praising voices of people and animals merged into a rhythm that glorifies the Natural Order, eternal and endless. Field recordings, woodwinds, strings, percussion, voices, tape noises and electronics were used in this work. They all merged into a single timeless canvas. The spirit of every living thing awakening runs through it. An atmosphere of Ritual crossed with cosmic primordial Drone Ambient. Standing in awe of Majesty and experience of true Beauty. Tradition, vibrations for a New Cycle. One 49 minute track. Ltd x 484 copies in a 6-panel 7" sleeve.
The new Vresnit album was recorded in autumn/winter 2010 in cooperation with Kshatriy, Hladna and Neznamo. A five-part space ambient piece dedicated to the sun and the transformation and dissemination of seeds. Vresnit's art has turned to the research of primary experiences - the human consciousness and the human condition resonating with nature. Sparkling cosmic Drone Ambient created from voices, string and wind instruments, bells, singing bowls, electronic instruments and field recordings. Ltd x 484 hand-numbered copies in an outsized 6-panel card sleeve.
Vresnit is solo project of the man behind the Kerpg label. A vibrating flow of crudely woven Shamanic Drone Ambient atmospheres. "Tunvet" appears as a primitive experience for co-breathing with Earth, diving into the twilight forest and flowing into its beyond. Slow and endless movement in a Circle that appears as Eternal Order. A Myth of the World-Man Creation, a dreamflight, a meeting with the Forest Spirits preying on the flesh and substituting it with metal and stones, giving life to the Ancient Co-knowledge. Created using field recordings, voices and woodwinds, metal gongs, percussion and "concrete" sounds. Gripping, saturating and transforming experience of raw wind, celestial chariots and chthonic naturalism. Ltd x 484 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.
Vresnit, the project from Yaroslavl, is devoted to harvesting, separation of grains from weed. Six Dark Drone Ambient mysteries grown from processed tape field recordings, live flutes, analogue electronics, hand bells, trance rhythmic structures and voices. Cause and effect... We reap what we sow. The meditation over fire as the breathing of Space Itself... comprehension of the greatness of action and oneself in it... Balance, transition, watching the light, and watching the watcher of Light. Ltd x 363 hand-numbered copies in a 6-panel outsize sleeve with insert.
