Spending her youth studying classical music first in Kyiv and then in Leningrad, Valentina began her musical career with rigorous compositional study and concert violin performance. This long player of duets as such casts a light on Goncharova’s experiences with early free jazz, democratic improvisation and introductions to pure electronic sound. Where Vol. 1 explored her home studio experiments and flirtations with musique concrete and new age, this volume seeks to give audience to similarly DIY recordings developed in collaborative environments away from the conservatoire. Properly documenting sessions revolving around smoky jazz cafes, art galleries, salons and theatre venues across Riga and Tallinn, these seven pieces add to the historical narrative of the soviet era avant-garde and show the broader spectrum of Valentina’s work.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe begin in Riga with an adapted score for a delicately unfolding violin drone, voice and saxophone performance produced by Valentina and Alexander Aksenov.

He composed here and now music that was so intellectually advanced that it was quite comparable to the compositions of my fellow students. Only, to achieve such a result, it took months for them.

They strike ultimately as private, freeform experiments with sound, never intended for the listener but documenting a practice which explores the dichotomy of improv’s ‘non-professionalism’ and its potential freedom from trained performance. Just one curious corner of Valentina’s musical path, they are included as a deliberate variance to the tapes with Pekka Airaksinen, an already well-regarded composer, early synthesiser fanatic and Finnish radical.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt their time of meeting, Pekka had diverted his attention from punk-indebted noise and free jazz groups to a pursuit of spiritualism via contemporary electronic technologies. Already familiar with the ‘Buddhas of Golden Light’ LP, Valentina found in his work an attraction to the sacred and, after an encounter at a 1988 Helsinki festival dedicated to futurist art and literature, she prepared to visit his studio. After a failed attempt to record a joint album, fragments of the tapes are presented here, highlighting Goncharova’s first real experience of electronic music making in a compositional sense. The result is a marriage of stunning organ tones, processed violin murmurs and progressive minimalism a la Terry Riley or La Monte Young. Fragmented guitar and additional keyboard patterns push and pull through delay units in unison with Valentina’s two violins, at times mimicking the howl of the wind or even the human voice. Once again, the duality of the indistinguishable unfamiliar vs. the harmonic familiar.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecordings 1987-1991 Vol. 2 completes Shukai’s dive into the sound world of an important yet overlooked artist working within Soviet era electroacoustics.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eartist : Valentina Goncharova \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elabel : Muscut\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-03-27T07:45:09+09:00","created_at":"2022-03-27T07:45:09+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","jazz","lp","muscut","recommended"],"price":274500,"price_min":274500,"price_max":274500,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42572719423738,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Valentina Goncharova \/\/ Recordings 1987-1991 Vol. 2 LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":274500,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/a3461724671_16.jpg?v=1648334933","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/0026914636_10.jpg?v=1648334934"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/a3461724671_16.jpg?v=1648334933","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29395604766970,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/a3461724671_16.jpg?v=1648334933"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/a3461724671_16.jpg?v=1648334933","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":29395604799738,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.5,"height":800,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/0026914636_10.jpg?v=1648334934"},"aspect_ratio":1.5,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/0026914636_10.jpg?v=1648334934","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eウクライナ・キーウの音楽家Valentina Goncharovaが1987-1991に録音した楽曲をコンパイルしたレコードを、同国実験レーベルMuscutのソ連音楽再発ラインShukaiがバイナルリリース。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアンビエントドローンからアヴァンギャルドなインプロまで7曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1633953606\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/muscut\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/muscut\"\u003eこちら\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/muscut\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/muscut\"\u003ehere \u003c\/a\u003eto see more Muscut releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFollowing the unpublished works of the Ukrainian\/Estonian musician Valentina Goncharova, Volume 2 of Shukai’s archival project sits in direct contrast to the solo works of Vol. 1.
