i don't know much.. when i was in a university choir they've had several folk songs, some of them having nice simple harmony, funny love lyrics. Some of them were arranged by composers so they were not real folk any more. I don't know much about instrumental folk music of our country. Shame on me. |

I don't know much folk music from the Ukraine, I've heard some from other eastern european countries though, like Hungary and Romania. Check out a band called Taraf De Haidouks if not already, also there is an american band called Hamster Theatre who are always incorporating eastern european music into their sound. You could always check out Bartok's studies on folk music too, he loved it. |

a recent video of Kotra & Zavoloka performing together: (48 MB, *.zip) improvised noise. |

thanks for the video! it's kinda hard to see what's going on, but the music is cool! were you at this gig? |
||||||||

melodies are similar to Plaid |

yes, i've been there. that was a free gig at some music gear shop. there were three performances, Midi8, Kotra+Zavoloka, Ottosiderspunk. Midi8 sucked so much - people had to listen to a 50 minutes shit trance set with not a single good note, as for me. No good. He could cut it to 10 minutes or he'd better never played. Then Kotra & Zavoloka performed. The last performance of Ottosiders punk was almost good - we left the place after 10 minutes when they changed their punky sarcastic vocodered-voice broken rhythm techno to 4/4 umtza umtza, which we were tired of while Midi8 played. rudster: i wouldn't say that there is SIMILARITY to Plaid.. Surprising piece of information. Which Plaid track should I listen to if I wanna convince myself and if i have Parts in The Post, Peel Session, Not For Trees and Spokes + some compilation tracks? |

thanks a lot for posting this kotra ep. it's very good! i really dig this one a lot. i've only heard tracks from the bridge (besides this) and it is quite different, but still sounds like kotra... it isn't as dense-sounding - there are more dynamics and layers of different sounds. "pluck" has all these different subtle sounds happening and tiny glitches that pop out of nowhere. it's an evolving, warm-sounding piece. "twitch" is the most noisy track on the album - nice distorted sounds and feedback. "spurt" is pretty frightening and taut, horror-ambient. "tug" is built around a really rich, cinematic-synth riff and all these quieter fast noise bits. tug really reminds me of a david lynch soundtrack. great music - i hope a lot more people check this one out! |

maybe it is for referring links or something? i dunno. anyway, this is another great ep by kotra! it sort of sounds like processed feedback the whole way through, but i don't actually know what he's doing musically. i dig it - thanks for the post! :D |
