CD-R and Quest.Room.Project — “Digital Snow”
This free compilation/collaboration, released today, is well worth
your time - if you can actually hear it. The opening track is barely
audible and undoubtedly the quietest piece of music on this site. Its
authors describe it as the introduction to “electroacoustic glitch or
‘post-noise.’”

“Pre-noise” would be equally accurate.

Nikita Golyshev, shown above and known professionally as CD-R,
authored “Digital Snow” together with Bogdan Dullsky
(Quest.Room.Project [below]). They worked togehther on this recording
virtually, not physically, merging pre-recorded files with real-time
performances over a peer-to-peer connection.
In a recent interview, Dullsky explained the interplay between file
swapping and improvisation as follows. He tried defining a balance
between the limits of prerecorded sounds and the limitless choices of
absolute, aimless freedom.
Somewhere in between lies creativity: ”When it comes to improvisation,
this is what I do… The first things to consider are the given
circumstances. It’s a bit like an actor trying to relive something
with his [boundless] heart, albeit inside the limits of the stage. He
tries both to relive his character’s experience and to allow it
‘through’ him. In the same way - in those same circumstances of an
amorphous [yet restrictive] room - you’ve got to hunt down the main
thing. It’s what people sometimes call ‘liberty.’ The driving force
behind this project was something similar; we were looking both for
stimuli and for reactions to them. If you spend most of your time with
a musical instrument in your hands, then a musical syntax, a harmony-
based view of the world in all its depth and spatial modes will come
together. What I mean is… there’s no need for [desperately-sought]
originality… Originality is something you simply cannot avoid!”
The result of this give-and-take is what these two musicians call “a
collage of both acoustic and digital pieces, gathered in one
snowfall.” Their light, almost unnoticable touch is evident in the
opening and closing tracks, simply titled “Parts One and Eight.”
The first and shorter of the two seems a fitting embodiment of the
wonderful cover art by Grigorii Kochenov: a light dusting of
fractured, twinkling elements through which other distant structures
(other songs, perhaps?) can barely be discerned.
