Comment: the more I got into this 10-notch issue by Yavor Grancharov the more I felt some sort of confusion which had fallen over my head. The structures of these compositions used to be complex by using quick transitions from one style to another or just by running multiple stylistic elements at the same time. One can hear spectral human voices coming in from a remote distance while subtle locomotive sounds are set up in front of the listener. In another track an exquisite droning which tends to vary throughout the course is embellished with glitchy shards. And it just goes on and on until it will be finished off sometime without any determination. It is like an antidote to a nowadays human being's life. At times droning gets intensified in volume and in the frequency of chords being meshed with spiky noises and ghostly electro-acoustic clatters from far beyond. Yet it is somehow warm and tempting as if a glimpse into the future, towards futuristic record charts. All in all, it is an overcoming outing in any sense. The issue is a joint release on Mahorka (digital release), and Amek Collective (tape release).
