Extra Information:
Aviarica is a concept album about the birds of central Russia. The tracks, full of electric grooves, acid sequences and catchy melodies, also use samples of the voices of herons, kingfishers, owls and other birds. This album is also an attempt to prove that electronic music can be used to go beyond soundscapes of future, space and high technologies, but also create, for example, works dedicated to the animal world. Aviarica is also a combined musical and artistic project. Along with the six tracks dedicated to specific birds Nickolay Fedorenko painted the creatures with acrylic on canvas and wood. Cards with this pictures in high resolution are included into the download package.
The album includes six tracks dedicated to great grey owl (Lat. strix nebulosa), ruff (philomachus pugnax), kingfisher (alcedo atthis), great spotted woodpecker (dendrocopos major), grey heron (ardea cinerea) & eurasian nunhatch (sitta europaea), as well as the title track Aviarica to finish up the album. While the latter is an example of Nickolay Fedorenko's classic sound, the bulk of the album is full of experimental features never or rarely used before.
