aa1 (Vasily Kuznetsov) - master of performances from Ural whose concepts are always unexpected and very interesting. All compositions are created by means of own musical algorithms developed in PD environment. Each performance of aa1 is unique, because it does not have in advance prepared loops, melodies, rhythmic figures. Music is created in the course of a concert, live, from prerecorded soundbites and generated sounds.
This CD is a recording of an improvised a concert at the first South Ural electronic music festival Electroline (Russia) in 2005. It's a 50-minute mix of sound-collaging, electroacoustics, ambient, and minimal noise.

Vasily Kuznetsov's main creative interests are experiments with algorithmic music generation. In particular, the "telephonenternals" CD, was created using an IP-telephone program Naumen Phone. He also participated in a project called "Water digitizer" with the art group "Where the dogs run". Installation includes a sound generator developed in PD environment.
Vasily also scored several ballets for "Kipling" dancing company and Taras Burnashev.
