Kotra's Dmytro Fedorenko has background in noise bands
and mathematics, but even knowing that I wasn't prepared for the
experimental soundart that comprises Dissilient. On these
twenty-one brief compositions, the listener is confronted with all
sorts of noise, sometimes harsh, sometimes unbearably strident.
The experience is often frustrating, but something interesting lies
under the surface; these pieces are, in fact, strangely hypnotic. If you
let yourself lie back and listen to this in the dark, you'll notice
how well the sounds come together. Amidst the abrasive noise and
the high-frequency screeches, there is a definitive sense of precise
order; though random, these sounds work together to produce an
atmosphere that's at once mechanical and human. It's hard to
define what makes this "music" so enjoyable - indeed, I
doubt I'll be compelled to listen to Dissilient too often in
the future - but there's something about Fedorenko's
soundscapes that, if given the chance, could really change the average
listener's perception of music.
