. When you take off your synthetic clothes and throw them .
. on the floor covered with khaki wall-to-wall carpeting, a .
. spark may slip and dissolve in space right there. Then .
. you push the play button and think: "OK.... .
. Electronica... Riga... 2002 record... made in the city .
. centre by a restrained young man well-versed in deep .
. mellow sound". If you really had a thought like this, .
. then you are a connoisseur, if not it does not matter .
. much. So, you have your own, totally different .
. associations there is enough space for them in this .
. music. .
. .
. The "Blue Planet Chill" album was recorded by Andrew .
. Eigus, who performs under a code name Selffish. He has .
. become one of the most active members of the Riga .
. electronic scene over the past five years. He does not .
. only give his own concerts, but he is also engaged in .
. organising modern music festivals in high-grade locations .
. (old ancestral castles, floating art-galleries etc.) and .
. developing websites for Latvian electronic music artists. .
. .
. He is one of those young men who do not really care about .
. such words as "underground" or "avant-garde". He just .
. makes the music which allows his world to be heard; music .
. that helps his thoughts to dance ("Dancing With My .
. Thoughts" the name of the last track in the album). And .
. it makes him glad if your own ideas interplay with these .
. rhythms. And so, he releases albums and gives concerts. .
. .
. His sound is undoubtedly "nordic". His music comes from a .
. land where it often rains and where some routes lead to .
. the sea. You just have to follow them at an unhurried .
. pace of compositions on the album, all these rhythmic .
. clicks and buzzes form a precise and adjusted rhythmic .
. pattern. It's a sound architecture of twinkling .
. electronic objects, pulsing in the unfolding web of .
. dimensions. .
. .
. Everything is in its right place here. If you take at .
. least one single sound away, everything will stop or .
. collapse. And there is nothing to add, just like you .
. would not want to add anything to a vast snow field or .
. the sea-line. .
. However, this minimalism has its own speed, energy and .
. dynamics, as well as its own admirers and analysts. One .
. of the Latvian reviewers of the release, Mr. Prolix, .
. makes an attempt to categorise it down to the genre .
. components: "Eigus's music is hard to characterise with .
. some standard definition; it is constantly and .
. imperceptibly changing in form. It is rather a certain .
. manifestation of "intelligent" techno in its second wind .
. these days; however, there is also a lot of noise .
. ambient, dub elements and even echoes of club lounge, .
. wrapped in an IDM polythene bag". Basically, this style .
. could get its own definition by borrowing the name of one .
. of the album tracks, say, "Hypnotic Audio". The main .
. thing is that it sounds good and does not bear too much .
. of a concrete sense, because names and labels do not mean .
. anything. What matters, is, perhaps, holding a glass of a .
. nice and cool drink, having a leisurely conversation on a .
. terrace on the top floor of some Riga house with a view .
. of numerous roofs, domes, chimneys and aerials. At the .
. same time, a soft voice over the speaker is ready to .
. share: "There's something everyone should know about .
. life..." as heard in the "Illusions" track. .
