Material for her third studio album, the moscow musicians recorded in the june-september 2009 period. Album entirely made up of studio improvisation jams, all 6 tracks was live performed, mainly on analog equipment. Minimal use of computers and software synthesizers allowed the authors to get a powerful and even aggressive sound. Stylistically а new work Ugol Ratmanova duo can be attributed to the electronics of 70's of the 20 century, with a strong bias in the "old-school industrial" late 70's-early 80's.
Материал для своего третьего студийного альбома московского музыканты записывали в период июнь–сентябрь 2009 года. Альбом целиком составлен из студийных импровизационных джемов; все 6 треков исполнены "в живую", преимущественно на аналоговомоборудовании и с минимальным использованием компьютеров, благодаря чему авторам удалось получить "живое" и даже агрессивное звучание. Стилистически новую работу дуэта Ugol Ratmanova можно отнести к электронике 70-х годов 20 века, с мощным уклоном в "old-school industrial" конца 70-х – начала 80-х гг.

The duet of electronic experimental music and sound-art Ugol Ratmanova has been created by Sergey Kniazkov and Igor Orlov at the beginning of 2008 in Moscow, Russia. It took only a few hours to record the first live album of the project, called “Live Sessions 100308”, as the result “live sessions’ conception” was born, in the frame of which most of Ugol Ratmanova’s musical material has been created.
These musicians constantly experiment with many handmade synths and unusual sound sources, using nonconventional methods and creatively different techniques. Ugol Ratmanova works in several music styles: from glitch and idm to drone and dark ambient. Harsh broken rhythms overflow with the atmospheric noise patterns and microtonal minimalistic sound structures.
Since 2008, Ugol Ratmanova took active part in many live acts, performing at various Moscow stages and becoming members of numerous mutual projects in cooperation with video-art performers and laute-poets. Since October 2008 they launched the new media project “Nanocast by Ugol Ratmanova”, in which they publish different kind of studio experiments and sound art sketches, as well as live concert performances.
Дует экспериментальной электронной музыки и саунд-арта Ugol Ratmanova создан в Москве в начале 2008 года Игорем Орловым и Сергеем Князьковым. Первый альбом проекта Live Sessions 100308 был записан живьем всего за несколько часов, в результате появилась концепция "живых" студийных сессий, в рамках которых и появляется музыкальный материал Ugol Ratmanova.
Стилистический диапазон очень широк - glitch, dark ambient, drone и idm, жесткие ломанные ритмы сменяются атмосферными шумовыми зарисовками и микротональными минималистическими саундструктурами.
Музыканты активно экспериментируют с хэндмейд синтезаторами и необычными источниками звука, используют различные необычные и нестандартные программные решения. Начиная 2008 года Ugol Ratmanova активно выступали на различных московских площадках, а также стали участниками ряда совместных проектов с видеохудожниками и laute-поэтами.

"Soltar... Saltar"
A CD created as pictures of historical moments, readings, trips, and neighbours’ bad customs that should be legally punished.
All tracks composed, played & recorded by Humberto Luis Schenone
Recorded at “Living Records Studios”
Buenos Aires – Argentina
Humberto Luis Schenone was born in the British Hospital of Buenos Aires on september 6th 1955.
Since his childhood had some school trouble for his pleasure of beating over anything making “candombe-batucada”. But first steps in music were in his teens singing and playing guitar in folk and rock groups.
Dedicated to other kind of professional activities after university years and to study Spanish guitar with jazz &tango player Claudio Gomez. But it was many years later, in 1990, when he assumed his role as percussionist in music, after different periods travelling and living in Brazil. He settled in a house 30 kms away from Buenos Aires where he built his first “percussion-room” and started his studies of afro-american rhythms. His teachers in the art of percussion were Bam Bam Miranda, Abdoulaye Badiane, Ricky Olarte, Pocho Porteño, Hugo Nuñez among others. He has been part of several bands related with afro-percussion, bossa nova, samba, salsa, rock, south-american folk, tango, etc. Nowadays, again living in B.A., works on his solo project collections: “Human Tracks”, “The Rhythms of Life I & II”, “Human Fights”, etc. and participates as guest musician in different groups.
