about

Базирующийся в Бельгии и сербский по происхождению проект Damaskin избегает публичности, оставляя простор для самостоятельной интерпретации его музыки: по преимуществу угрюмого зашумленного техно, тесно связанного с тематикой сакрального, если судить по названиям треков. Для альбома «Жертвоприношение», впрочем, автор сделал некоторое исключение. По его словам, запись вдохновлена одноименным фильмом Андрея Тарковского. Комментарием к релизу может служить цитата из эссе режиссера, опубликованного в 1986 году во французском киножурнале Positif: «Предъявить истерию, которая заключается в желании высказаться и самовыразиться любой ценой. Это безумие. Каждый желает славы просто в качестве утешения». Треки «Жертвоприношения» словно демонстрируют, как истерия парадоксальным образом переходит в кататонический ступор: ритмичная электроника Damaskin замирает в статичной репетитивности, словно бы желание высказаться парализует речь и оборачивается немотой.

***

Based in Belgium and Serbian by origin, Damaskin avoids publicity, giving space for an independent interpretation of its music: a predominantly grim and noisy techno, closely related to the themes of the sacred, judging by the names of the tracks. For the album «Жертвоприношение» ("Sacrifice"), however, the author made some exception. According to him, the recording is inspired by the film of the same name by Andrei Tarkovsky. The following quote from the essay of the film director, published in 1986 in the French magazin 'Positif', can serve as a commentary to the release: "To expose the hysteria which consists in wishing, at whatever the cost, to speak out and to express oneself. It's madness. Everyone desires fame simply as a source of comfort." Tracks of "Жертвоприношение" seem to demonstrate how the hysteria paradoxically turns into a catatonic stupor: the rhythmic electronics freezes in a static repetitivity, as if the desire to speak out paralyzes the speech and turns into voicelessness.
