| Ivan Čkonjević - "Bardo. Vertep." (NE-019) |
 "Bardo.Vertep." is Ivan's fourth album, second for NOECHO Records.
Idea was to make linear photographic music. Andrei Tarkovsky defined film as sculpting in time. Music on this album stands as an attempt of opposite process, reducing series of impressions to inner image - to inner "photograph". First piece is titled "EXP. Bardo.Vertep.", and it was inspired by Olga Tokarczuk's story from her book "Gra na wielu bebenkach" ("Playing on Many Drums"). Second and third piece were inspired by places alongside railroad from Belgrade to Subotica. "EXP. Kroz prozor voza - svetla na horizontu" is placed from first lights on horizon when aproaching Novi Sad, to spot where last ones disapear. "EXP. Srne" is located in plains between Vrbas and Backa Topola where often, in early mornings, I see roe deers. They are always on the same side of railtracks, it seems that they don't cross over. Final piece, "EXP. Moja pesma ce ti biti smesna" is longer and rearanged version of music recorded in 2008 for same titled short film by Milica Jovcic.
Only instrument on this album is electric guitar. Sound was processed through effect pedals.
Album is released as limited edition CD |
