ah, ok, "Live album recorded in 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine." which makes sense (kvitnu are based in kiev)

I ordered from the label. We'll see how long this takes, as it's coming direct from the Ukranian postal system!

such a beautiful and enrapturing recording
drinking lots of coffee on a preternaturally dark rainy spring afternoon and letting this proliferating noise envelop the place
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 25 April 2014 16:57 (ten years ago) link
does anyone have other recommendations from the kvitnu label
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 25 April 2014 16:58 (ten years ago) link
i like zavoloka's stuff, the lead track on Svitlo ep especially. and the Viter / Verdena lps. Plaster and Sturqen also (think emptyset)
some of the other bands like the loud white noise thing, which doesn't appeal to me.
(lots of samples on amazon.co.uk)

I really like Mika's Konstellaatio release this year.
― autumn reckoning faction (xelab), Wednesday, 6 August 2014 20:49 (nine years ago) link
that one is minimal even by mika's standards and it took a few listens to sink in. it's really pretty, I go back to it a lot now.

It certainly rewards more from return plays, the first track Otava feels like the imaginary soundtrack from Vonnegutt's unmade Cat's Cradle movie. I know that sounds like absolute bollocks, but that is how it sounds to me!

This is terrible news, I saw him play only a few weeks ago.

Oh no. Fuck.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:20 (seven years ago) link
Damm, RIP. Last saw him performing a couple of years ago as part of a trio and he made the nastiest noises with the least effort - very cool dude.
― Bernie Lugg (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:33 (seven years ago) link
I saw Pan sonic (they may not even have changed the name yet) in 2000 or 2001, opening for Wire in New York. Two anonymous-looking dudes sitting behind a table loaded with what looked like homemade electronic junk, making these unearthly, building-rattling sounds. It was really amazing, and kind of opened my eyes in some ways as to what live music could be (I was still very much in a rock band/jazz group mindset in terms of what a show "should be").
― Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Violent J (誤訳侮辱), Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:37 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, building-rattling is exactly right - saw Panasonic supporting Suicide in a pretty small London venue and distinctly remember going to the gents toilets during their set and finding all the cubicle doors vibrating quite violently on their hinges.

Man, that's a shock. Figured he would just keep on for decades. Never did see him or Pan Sonic live in the end, and now regret it.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 April 2017 15:18 (seven years ago) link
In recent years I thought his Konstellaatio and Kilo albums were both so great, and still not sounding like much else.
― calzino, Thursday, 13 April 2017 15:19 (seven years ago) link
Have listened to so much Ø stuff this year, I think that project was some kind of platonic ideal of minimal techno.
― Dominique, Thursday, 13 April 2017 15:25 (seven years ago) link
absolutely, agreed

I was able to see him live once and was sad when he cancelled an appearance at a festival I was at a couple years later because I was really looking forward to seeing him again. Such an incredibly influential musician

― the late great, Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:00 (seven years ago) link
RIP. The first ever laptop-only performance I saw was him, Peter Rehberg and Christian Fennesz at the LMC experimental music festival in London, 1998 I think. All the crusty old jazz dudes walked out within about 5 minutes, it was great.

― j., Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:18 (seven years ago) link
really devastated by this.
indeed. i think he helped kill my love of techno as almost everything that came afterwards felt old and redundant in comparison, to my ears.

Such a shock. I've had Kulma (sides C and D) sitting on my turntable for the last 48 hours and disc 4 of Kesto was sat in the CD player overnight so that's a bit freaky. It's not like I listen to his work all the time but I had a binge this week.
RIP.
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 13 April 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link
Reports coming in that he died accidentally while on holiday in France.
― heaven parker (anagram), Thursday, 13 April 2017 20:26 (seven years ago) link
:-(
Simply gutted by this. All the Ø stuff is so great already, but Kesto was essential, formative for me. He had so much brilliant music in him still. We'll never get to know it. RIP.

I've been listening to 'Virta 1' on repeat. It's taken on an almost requiem-like quality:
