Press Info:
After reissuing Stanislav Tolkachev’s masterpiece Blue Mood, the Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound comes back with two fresh pieces from Georgian artists Zesknel and Irakli.

Following a strong start with დე / DE – Sounds From Georgia, this new record explores a more abstract electronic music.
Zesknel, who is a resident of the renowned Bassiani Club, collaborates here with Irakli on two dreamy and airy soundscapes which aspire to depict and recreate the atmosphere of the Georgian capital. To do so, they asked for the help of Rezo Glonti who proceeded to make field-recordings in Tbilisi. This work served as a base in order to create something unique and true to the city.

The project is part of a sound installation which aims to blend architecture with sound. The idea of the two artists was to conceive a space where they could translate the spirit of Tbilisi. Inside that space will be found works exhibited by other Georgian artists. And this is all part of the exhibition “Lara Protects Me. Eine Georgische Erzählung” at the Museum Angewante Kunst Frankfurt (opening September 20).

“In the institute, a question has become an obsession.
Lara protects me. What does it mean?
And who is this Lara? Volatile like ethylene, the answer is a chimaera.
With our sounds that will resonate
Inside this one chamber.
We hope you’ll vibrate,
And maybe find an answer.“

Press Info:
After exploring Georgian soundscapes, the Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound is honored to reissue Stanislav Tolkachev’s Blue Mood.

First released on Aftertaste Recordings in 2008, this masterpiece is in the Institute’s opinion one of the most impressive work of the Ukrainian artist.

For the occasion, Stanislav created the artwork for the record in order to complement or maybe represent an idea behind the release. The Institute plans to ask artists to deliver also a visual on top of their sound communication on the label. Limited copies of Blue Mood will include a photography of Tolkachev’s artwork.

Absolute Limit, which finds itself on the B side, is a brand new track by Tolkachev. As usual he delves deeper into abstract and distorted techno, delivering a truly mental cut.

Limited copies of Vinyl inc. original Photography by Stanislav Tolkachev will be available at the bandcamp shop.

Press Info:
The Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound presents DE, a compilation of various artists representing Georgian electronic and ambient music.

დე / DE is a compilation of music from artists of different backgrounds getting together in order to showcase the dynamic influences within the Georgian scene. Tbilisi is getting worldwide recognition at the moment for its booming club scene, but what this project aims to illustrate is what is happening outside of the club context.

Natalie Beridze who has been performing worldwide since 2004 is known as the first female electronic music artist in Georgia, Rezo Glonti has built his studio inside the hull of his boat, and Zesknel is a resident of the renowned Bassiani club, while MIY and Severiane were discovered thanks to Myspace, Soundcloud, and word-of-mouth. All these talents manage in their own ways to present დე / DE, with murky and melancholic cuts.

Melancholia is at the core of beauty in Georgia. That is not the case in Germany and many other cultures, where melancholia is often charged and bound to a negative feeling, which some might perceive as weakness. Consequently, one could be tempted to say that even if it‘s electronic music, DE has a traditional Georgian quality. But that would be putting art in boxes or cases — because what is Georgian art nowadays when so many artists from this origin are scattered around? As Giorgi Maisuradze states in his mission statement for DE, “the world is their home”.

Home is Berlin, for Irakli Kiziria who was born in Tbilisi and has immersed himself in electronic music, not only as a producer and DJ, but also by creating various projects such as STAUB, Moments, or I/Y. For him and many others, დე / DE represents Germany, but also means mother in his native language. This duality that stems from transcending cultures is central in this art project that comes in the year in which we celebrate the Germany-Georgia friendship.

A special event will be organized with all the artists in Berlin on September 21, in a very unusual space where 250 people will have the chance to hear some of the sounds of Georgian modernity: the concert will take place at SILENT GREEN Berlin, Gerichtsstr. 35, from 6 pm.

The Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound is delighted and grateful to have the opportunity to present this project, which symbolizes the importance of art for friendship, brotherhood, and in this specific case the one between Germany and Georgia. The following is a statement from the Intergalactic Institute which marks the creation of the Georgian sound compilation, DE: “We are delighted to present the first communication from the Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound, supported by the Georgian Department of Culture, and reestablishing sound communication between Georgia and Germany in 2017, the year of the Germany-Georgia friendship.”
