.:: The legend of Soviet and Russian underground Alexei Borisov comes to the net with a selection of two astonishing abstract tunes.
It is an exclusive recording of live sets performed by Borisov during his combined American tour with Jeff Surak (Violet). "Artworks" is a name of a gallery in Richmond and "Cakeshop" is a club in Manhattan, NY.
Abstract electronics in the realm of the avant-garde is the forte of Russian sound artist Alexei Borisov. Two online albums feature live performances of this creative and sometimes perplexing underground figure.
The appropriately titled Abstractionist features two lengthy tracks of noise and tones. Often the sounds appears to have no real connection and are seemingly random although I suspect this is not the case. “Artworks” is the more abtract piece and requires your full undivided attention to appreciate it.
However “Cakeshop” is a little more accessible. A melody can barely be deciphered among the odd electronic drone but even this is soon lost is a bewlidering by fascinating collage of electronics and found sound. This is a challenging but rewarding listen.
