First visit of Four Tet to Russia
Клубные российские · 28.10.2006
As a schoolboy, Kieran Hebden played crystal-clear post-rock in the pioneering group Fridge, then took the pseudonym Four Tet and began to create alone - by now he finds himself one of the world's most prominent electronic artists. The portfolio includes collaboration with free jazz drummer Steve Ryde and invitations to open for Radiohead, remixes of Kings of Convenience, The Notwist and a dozen other common favorites, high-profile titles from English magazines, and most importantly - four albums, each more beautiful than the other. Four Tet's music is made up of drumming, keyboard runs, and sensitive guitar strums; it fusses, bubbles, rustles, lives its own special life; it has many layers, it is full of labyrinths and mysteries - but at the same time retains innocence and pristine beauty. His tracks are reverent, fragile and tender; they keep their word of honor and it seems that they are about to crumble, turn into a cacophony - but Hebden confidently keeps the rhythm, builds sonorous melodies, nurtures samples. There is no person on the planet who is better able to bring human warmth into cold experimental electronics - and you will be able to see him in Moscow only once and only at Ikra. As a significant addition - a performance by a citizen of the world Tonearm, a New York multi-instrumentalist of Russian origin, who writes smart, precise and romantic electronics, and when the mood takes him, he arms himself with a guitar and sings.
