AKKORD I ON (Kazakhstan)
Akkord I On is a unique duo from Kazakhstan. Two professionally trained musicians – Roman Bliznetsov (22 y.o., accordion) and Konstantin Timoshenko (33 y.o., percussive) collaborated to create this unique mini-album. The result is close to minimal techno and abstract ambient being played with accordion! Almost everything for this release was recorded with an accordion and processed harmonica, with a very insignificant use of synthesizers, sample collages and field recordings. Akkord I On makes a deep, groovy and relaxed music, with touching and calming atmosphere, but with a great feeling of experimentation. It's abstract clicks-n-cuts combined with sudden blasts of accordion.
Roman studied accordion and harmonica at the musical college in Alma-Ata, he was playing with various musical ensembles, and now he is occupied as a DJ.
Konstantin is a professional drummer and music producer; he is a founder of such musical projects as “Les Enfants De Paris”, “Pop’s Machine”, “Sample Brothers” and others. Also, he is an active member of [antiparty gang] project and co-curator of media-art festival Replica.
