Cisfinitum - Tactio

Vital Weekly review (by Frans de Waard, April 22, 2008) :


CISFINITUM

"TACTIO" (CD by Mechanoise Labs)

One of Russia's older forces of all things dark, ambient and at times a bit
industrial is the work of Evgeny Voronovsky, who goes by the name of
Cisfinitum. He has released his music on Monochrome Vision, Waystyx, Ewers
Tonkunst and Drone Records. In November 2005 he played a concert in Bremen
in the St. Petri Dom and the recording here presents his music, using both
the acoustic environment of the church as well a direct recording of the
music. Cisfinitum's music is a blend of synthesized drone/ambient sounds
much along the lines of say Lustmord. But to top things of Cisfinitum adds a
blend of pulsating sounds, which over the course of the concert becomes to
live. First, half way through as church bells but towards the end things are
almost minimal techno like pulsating, with a fat drone like synthesizer
still heavily in control of the mood. On tape there is the addition also of
a baroque violin (an instrument which Evgeny is formally trained in), but
that is stretched out to an
extent that they fit the drone like capacities of the rest. The six pieces
flow into eachother and form one long piece, which is, I must admit, nothing
new under the ambient drone sun, but Cisfinitum's work can easily meet the
best in the genre, and is one of Russia's biggest talents. (FdW)
