September 4, 2024 - The Russian production duo Ryaska, comprised of Anton Fedorov and Evgeny Komolov, is gearing up for the release of their new album "Лесотундра" on September 6 via Yekateringburg-based label Faktura. This project represents their journey into the ambient genre, infusing it with a blend of evocative soundscapes and meticulously textured productions.
The duo's sound combines ethereal guitar layers with experimental field recordings, creating a captivating auditory experience reminiscent of natural landscapes. The album's essence draws inspiration from the serene beauty of the Ural mountains, reflecting themes of balance and peace through a sound palette that evokes timeless memories.
Featured prominently in the premiere is the track "Лесотундра" - translating to "Forest-Tundra" - a five-minute exploration of dark ambient and sci-fi drone. The track channels the gradual transformation of snowy vistas into a haunting expanse of sound, broadcasted as if through a long-dormant radio transmitter. It paints a vivid picture of frozen landscapes evolving into oblivion.
Ryaska's innovative approach to ambient music signals a noteworthy addition to the contemporary experimental music scene. The album is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp, offering fans insight into the sonic journey embedded within this fresh release.
