Novocibirsk
Television 1945 (volume 1)
Novocibirsk is the product of experiments conducted by Hervé Isar between 1982 and 1993 in his home studio. Connecting a network of synthesizers and analog sequencers to synchronise their messages, to test their communications or speed multiplication, testing multi-oscillator pads out of mono generators, trying octave distribution, voltage additions and substrations... The result is an artificial and hypnotic music, inspired by pionneers of '70s and raw minimalism of the underground of the '80s - reminding of the likes of Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze. A unique metronomic combination where long floating instrumental tracks follow nervous sequences and vocoder chants. an almost incidentally born music, then forgotten for ages.
