about

In the summer of 2021, during a week-long stay in New York, Dionisaf collected an impressive collection of the sounds of this city and, after returning from the trip, recorded this album in just a week. The sound density of the tracks is explained by the rich urban soundscape, after all, New York is a very large city with a high level of noise. Some tracks consist almost entirely of field recordings, while they cannot be called non-musical. In some tracks, you can hear quite melodic harmony. And sometimes it is a very dense and deep drone that literally plunges you into a trance.

Dionisaf (Dionis Afonichev) is a sound artist who has come a long way from a rock-band guitar player and an academic avant-garde composer to an ambient music producer and a multifaceted musician. He adopted a sonoristic approach to musical composition that relies on repetitive, meditative, nuanced musical structures often taken from the environment. Dionis Afonichev received professional music training at Kyzyl College of Arts, the Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory, and the Krasnoyarsk State Academy of Music and Theater. Apart from his music career, Afonichev studied Vedic philosophy and astrology for over a decade and received a brahminical initiation from his guru in India. His interests in different countries and cultures often find their reflection in his music. He now runs Chitra Records.
