Re-pulse for oboe and accordion (2012)
Pulse is the possible metaphorical entrance into the existence and filling the space with self. The heartbeat, day and night and the trajectories of planets are the different forms of emptiness. The emptiness slowly fills in the space and transforms into the familiar shapes of color, desire, fading glance. Thus we recognize ourselves in the emptiness and achieve our nothigness.
re-surrection, re-building, re-order, re-flection, re-jection
Reflection of time slowly dissapears in the pulsatory emptiness. (Maxim Kolomiets)
We believe that Free Improvisation and Contemporary Classical Music are just two dialects of the same language. That is why
we start this series within the NoBusinessRecords Label: to create more synergy between these musical circles and to create opportunities for fans in both aesthetics to discover one another’s treasures in music.
