1. PACIFIC 231 is the brainchild of
French multimedia artist Pierre
Jolivet, currently residing in Dublin,
Ireland. While Pacific 231 has its
roots in the 1980’s industrial noise
underground, Pierre Jolivet has
since then consistently sought out
and found new sounds and new
compositional themes, venturing
into unfamiliar aesthetics but
always maintaining the rare quality
of a steady evolutionary path.
Bardoseneticcube was formed by
Russian artist Igor Potsukaylo in
1998. In his work, surrealism is key:
“pure psychic automatism willing
to express the real functioning of
the reflection orally, written or in
any other form. Dictation of mind
without any control from the intellect, outside of any aesthetic of
moral considerations.” (André Breton)
One of Russia’s leading experimental drone acts, Bardoseneticcube has
a quite extensive discography, having released on labels such as Drone
Records, Aquarellist and Monochrome Vision.
This collaborative composition consists of 6 movements, leading
the listener through a utopian sonic maelstrom in a modern re-
interpretation of some sections of ‘New Atlantis’ (Francis Bacon, 1624-
27). Psychedelica, field recordings and abstract electronics create a
‘New Language’ with a slippering affect from quietness and by dint of
colliding utter chaos.
NOTE: Preferably listened to in total for coherence and surreal storytelling projection.
