ЧЕРНИХОВ | CERNICHOV is an abstract and experimental ambient duet formed by the two sound artists David Gutman (notably know for his collaborative effort with Francis M. Gri and Frederico Mosconi) and Marco Mazzucchelli. After two releases published in a certain discretion, the duo is back with a new uplifting effort on Bulgaria’s Mahorka Records. This represents the most ominous-doom laden ambient-ish part of the label, next to projects such as Internal Fusion and Natura Est.
We are all deaf is a heart-moving and spiritually entrancing musical journey through deep vastness and darkened corners of the consciousness. The album architecture is mainly built around sneakily and meandering sonic textures, layering drone vibes with plenty of reverberant signals and micro noises. Evanescent and aerial then fractured melodies occasionally rise from the burgeoning and echoing background. After a brainy and spaced-out experimental introduction, the sorrowing, harrowing, bleak and emotionally piercing melodies progressively rise to the front as in the celestial funerary “October.” Abnormal-amorphous elastic electro patterns also punctuate the album with more spectral iciness, sometimes admitting pulsating kinetic grooves and flowing noisy motifs.
Recommended for fans of subterranean raw and distorted drone ambient (Treading Bloom, Ecka Liena, Saaad, Shrine, Aldinucci) with thrilling sci-fi scores and an eerie emotional edge. Also worth exploring for the sympathetic collusion with downtempo-goul-ish and suspenseful isolationism of Leviathan’s A Silhouette in Splinters. A welcoming addition to Mahorka multi-faceted musical production.
We are all deaf is available on Mahorka. [Bandcamp]
