Estonia-based sound archivist Dmytro Nikolaienko has announced the release of his fourth album in April via Jan Jelinek’s hyper-experimental record label Faitiche.
Consisting of eleven blurred, repetitive and rhythmic patterns, ‘Rings‘ opens up a treasure trove of tape-loops, resulting in “a collection of dreamy glittering gems, masterfully presented using the compositional possibilities of analogue tape machines.”
Some may consider a tape machine to be limited as a musical instrument, but Rings makes a convincing case with its sure-handed use of the available parameters – moving tape over the tape head mechanically and manually, cutting loops, manipulating timbre and creating noise by means of saturation.
‘Rings’ is scheduled for release 16 April via Faitiche. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
