Circumjecta- "Ulchi Hop"
01. yaga's death
Shaman breath of
Megapolis.
Shadows of the ancient Ulchs on the heated asphalt roads of the megalopolis pursued by Andrey Zots. The Ulch people inhabiting the lands along the lower reaches of the Amur river are known for their unusual and beautiful legend about the last shaman of the tribe who refused to unveil the ancient secrets when he was dying because the spirits did not name his successor to him. If the shaman line had not broken in such a tragic way and the Ulchs could have somehow mastered the Nord Modular programming or learned to use Reaktor, their music would have definitely resembled Circumjecta, an album by young musician Andrey Zots. Andrey’s album is not another ethno pop music in the line or folklore tunes set up with a plain rhythm. Circumjecta music is an immersion, a thin undistinguishable line between a dream and reality, shaman breath of the megalopolis, of all invisible and unheard hidden in its depths. Following the Circumjecta music we all choose our own ways. Conceptualizing his works Andrey does not assign any definite forms to his music, but rather softly outlines the boundaries, letting the listeners plunge into fantasies, imagination, and create together with the author while the music is still on. Just listen…Your world is not everything. There is a totally different one out there, and it is the world of Circumjecta. About the composer Having graduated the Finance Academy and successfully fled from the sterile environment of a bank, Andrey started doing what he had always liked and been prone to– the sound - at the first opportunity popped up. He worked as a sound engineer at one of the Moscow radio production company, today he works in one of the newly appeared but already successful TV companies, and, who knows, maybe someday you will watch yet another Hollywood movie with sound effects skillfully mastered by Andrey. Besides Circumjecta Andrey manages another project titled Bip Soup which combines, as one may think, incongruous things – techno and live improvisation. Opposed to other techno bands Bip Soup performs live only with no computers involved. They create music in real time, what makes each of their concerts different one from another and, no doubt, unforgettable. Andrey’s passion for module programming environments goes beyond music projects. He also creates interactive installations. Among featured projects are remake of the popular Soviet electronic game for children - "Just you wait!" and "All-seeing Roentgen". Oleg Khazhinsky Reviews: Also out on Dars is a CD by Circumjecta called Ulchi Hop. This is quality dark electronic stuff with heavy sub bass and almost tribal percussion with clanking industrial sounds. Head nodding slow motion groovers that infectiously work their way into your consciousness. This is at the stranger more experimental end of the spectrum. Dark futurism with plenty of otherworldly sounds to keep it interesting. A pleasant surprise this one. Very Cool.
