Kedr Livanskiy - Liminal Soul - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2019 repress; 2017 . Moscow's Kedr Livanskiy (real name Yana Kedrina) confesses, InchSynthesizers help me maximally feel the present moment.Inch Livanskiy was born into a shifting and critical time for Russia. The Soviet Union had exhausted and old values were anathematized because of reconstruction. A sense of displacement drove Kedr to find herself. She's escaped reality repeatedly in her explorations into the imagery and ideas of romanticism, mythical, and fairytale themes which visibly bleed throughout her work and especially on her debut full-length Ariadna. The title track which was named after the Greek goddess, Adriane, debuted via Thump who've stated it Inchanchors it's elegantly drifting shoegaze melodies with a knocking electro beat.Inch Ariadna marks a change in her recording approach her critically-acclaimed breakthrough EP January Sun was written and recorded completely in Ableton, while Ariadna was written using the Roland SH-101, Roland Juno 106, and Korg Minilogue synthesizers, then mixed down in Ableton. According to Kedr, InchThis way, one gets into a flow of live interaction, here and now, with the instrument.Inch There is a definite leap in production values this time around, but Kedr manages to keep true to her sound despite the greater Polish and depth. InchACDCInch features Martin Newell.

Kiska is the lead single off Kedr Livanskiy's sophomore , Your Need. The album is a celebration of life and rebirth. It's about a fighter's spirit, and if you will, a little audacity and courage. DJ'ing and early forms of dance music inspired a furious burst of creative energy after months of melancholy, sadness and reflection to record the album in only a matter of weeks. After her breakout album, Ariadna (2017), which put her on the forefront of Russia's burgeoning electronic scene, Kedr felt lost with her identity and was searching for the direction of her next chapter. For a while she felt trapped by her own image and needed quite some time to resolve this internal dissonance - to grow, to evolve. DJ'ing was the main catalyst to pull her out of this rut. The art form shifted her inspiration to mainly old school styles of dance music ghetto, house, breakbeat, and UK garage. For the prior year an-a-half she was listening to ambient, krautrock, and more experimental genres - one can hear the brighter, more energetic influence of early electronic music in the songs on Your Need. One day she was talking with her friend Flaty (Zhenya), a very talented artist from St. Petersburg who's signed to the GOST ZVUK tag, and they decided to do a single together. Zhenya is a beatmaster and pays attention to even the smallest details of a track. He brought incredible richness to the composition and Kedr considers him her teacher in this area. Kedr was in charge of the melodies and vibe of the tracks, and the vocal elements. Your Need is like a chapter of life. It's a story that illustrates different scenarios and moods that our mythical hero experiences, living in an urban jungle. Our hero sometimes feels bold, lost or devastated, but also tender and full, like all of us at some point in life. The ending is joyful and bright. Your Need reflects an array of genres and a mix of cu

Their debut, InchNoumenaInch ventured into the darker, lonelier regions of jazz, dub, and ambient rock and was praised as one of the most creative, forward-thinking jazz-rock hybrids in this millennium, drawing comparisons to everyone from the Necks and Isotope 217 to Miles Davis and the Upsetters. InchCeiling SkyInch collects rare, vinyl-only tracks on CD for the first time, such as the two extra tracks on the double vinyl edition of InchNoumenaInch, as well as remixes by Four Tet and Sybarite. In addition, the limited edition Inch(rmxs)Inch 12-inch released earlier this year (featuring remixes by Four Tet and Sybarite) is included. Enchanting, haunting music.
