Fia Fiell
https://www.fiafiell.net
Fia Fiell is Melbourne synthesist Carolyn Schofield, whose intricate and improvisatory compositions for multiple keyboard synths derive from meditations on growth and transcendence. Silk-gentle and immensely powerful, her nebulous and dreamlike sonic worlds bathe audiences in lush melodic cycles and spectral drones. Time and rhythm become elastic – like an organic membrane breathing and pulsing. A prolific performer in Australia, she’s performed at festivals for Berlin Atonal and Room40, supported artists such as Merzbow and Laurel Halo, and released music on Longform Editions and Nice Music.
Kiritchenko presents "X0R"
https://kiritchenko.ws
Andrey Kirichenko is a key figure in Ukrainian electronic music. He began his career as a singer/songwriter and is renowned for his work in experimental electronic, electroacoustic music, IDM, and ambient. Kirichenko founded Nexsound records and directs the Next Sound festival. He was nominated for Qwartz Electronic Music Awards, winning in the Discovery category. He curated the Detali Zvuku festival and participated in the 52nd Venice Biennale. He also taught Sound Design/Sound Art at V. N. Karazin National University. His work spans IDM, ambient, and quirky dance music.
"X0R" by Ukrainian electronic composer Andrey Kiritchenko is a daring departure from conventional music norms. Kiritchenko's penchant for innovation shines through as he deftly avoids clichés and templates, crafting a tapestry of sound that blends IDM, breakbeat, ambient, and footwork elements. While initially appearing as a chaotic collision of sounds, "X0R" reveals a hidden order upon closer inspection, drawing listeners into its mesmerizing rhythms and textures. With its elusive nature, this album challenges interpretation, reflecting the complexities of our modern world drowned in information overload. Despite its avant-garde approach, the music in "Feral" remains accessible, offering a unique listening experience that resonates with our ever-changing realities.
