about

“Телооператор” – это привет из Ростова-на-Дону лихих девяностых, пахнущий портвейном “Агдам” и раскаленной на солнце жестью.

Единственная запись проекта, Crions, густо замешана на научной фантастике. В то же время это молодецкий комментарий к российской реальности конца тысячелетия, где было весело и страшно, пока мир стремительно расползался по швам.

Однако ценность Crions не сводится к архивной – это нечто большее, чем образец отечественного пост-индастриала первой волны, продукт эпохи нет-зина RWCDAX и рассылки СЕВЕР. Это демонстрация того, как незнание карты и жанровых границ способствует открытиям. Минималистичный шквал силовой электроники, сбивающийся в кататоническое техно, звучит люто, местами наивно, но неизменно бодряще и своевременно.

Записано Константином Мезером в 1997-1998 годах. Первая версия Crions выходила на покойном московском лейбле Grief Recordings в 1999 году. Ремастеринг 2015 года: Arnold_pR . Фото: Полина Врублевская.

***

Телооператор is a ‘salute’ smelling of low-end port "Agdam" and iron red-hot with the sun from Rostov-on-Don of Russian "dashing nineties".

The only record of Телооператор, Crions, is soaked in science fiction. At the same time this is a full-blooded commentary on Russian reality of millennium end, which was fun and scary as the world was bulging at the seams.

Still Crions value should not be reduced to an archive value. It is something more than a sample of an early wave of Russian post-industrial, a product of the age of net-zine RWCDAX and СЕВЕР mailing list. This is a demonstration how absence of map or ignorance of genre boundaries promotes discoveries. A minimalistic burst of power electronics slipping into catatonic pseudo-techno sounds fierce, sometimes naive, but always refreshing and well-timed.

Recorded by Konstantin Mezer in 1997-1998. First version appeared on now defunct Moscow label Grief Recordings in 1999. Remastered in 2015 by Arnold_pR. Cover photo: Polina Vrublevskaya.

I caught S. English down at one of the SXSW sets recently and if you're into well-crafted, inventive, and danceable experimental-industrial music, you need this. I believe he has multiple efforts available, and this is a great place to start to explore his work. Eve McGivern
