Ok_01 - Oleg Kovalchuk who is a member of the Moglass
band, responsible for their synths and self-made effect
boxes actually does the music under this moniker since
1998. Using hometaping techniques, his custom and
unique sounding effect boxes, soviet drum machine with
altered DAC and sometimes playing guitar and synths
himself in two hands he creates very worm and touchy
lo-fi music about his life. The ep greets us with
a shortwave melody, a pleasant wake up call filtering
in through the static. The morning sun peaks through
and bird songs tweet over a dusty out of tune guitar
with added analog electronic wonderment, reaching
an almost Faust-Tapes like quality. The third track
finds us outside speeding down icy slopes, a ski version
of Autobahn with glitch rhythms and flashing pulses
of a metropolitan landscape. Mass transit for the mind.
The fourth track is a dead ringer for the old Insane Music
group Pseudo Code with the over flanged guitar and analog
drum machine-a wonderful composition. The ep ends in a
similiar spirit, music from a different era in a
different place.
