█▀░░ PsyCZ group was formed in spring 2001 by its first three members ... ░░▀█
█▀░ But as every group grows and gets new members, new people joined PsyCZ ░▀█
█▀░ to help us in our mission. Our main common loved genere was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ ... of course, but everone of us likes several more genres. This caused, ░▀█
█▀░ that several members began to demand releasing other music styles such ░▀█
█▀░ as ambient, drum&bass and few more ... So we realized, that our original ░▀█
█▀░ name PsyCZ is a little uncomfortable, because it highlights our psy - ░▀█
█▀░ sight. After few days of debates we decided to found new sub-group ... ░▀█
█▀░ and here we are ... PsyCZ_NP will bring you plenty of non psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ music ... especially ambient, but some other genres are planned too. ░▀█
█▀░ Why did we decide for non-psy? Changing of the group name isn't possible ░▀█
█▀░ so possibilities we had was only adding a suffix to current group name ░▀█
█▀░░ ... so have chosen non-psy, because it's clearest and most fluent ... ░░▀█

█▀║ Artist Info: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Ivan Sokolovsky was born in Leningrad on February 10, 1962. On ║▀█
█▀║ graduation from the Moscow State University where he was studying ║▀█
█▀║ Philosophy and History, Sokolovsky was offered to write for a number ║▀█
█▀║ of magazines on post-modernism, post-historicism, and on Russian ║▀█
█▀║ religious philosophy of the XIX-XX centuries. ║▀█
█▀║ Instructed in the principles of conceptual composition and sound ║▀█
█▀║ sculpture, Sokolovsky also began experimenting with self-made ║▀█
█▀║ synthesizers and tape recorders. In 1983 he rose to prominence as a ║▀█
█▀║ co-founder and a major composer for the underground band NIGHT ║▀█
█▀║ PROSPEKT, playing the synthesizers and electronically treating the ║▀█
█▀║ band's sound. Despite the public acknowledgement he left in 1989 to ║▀█
█▀║ continue as a professional composer and to embark on a series of ║▀█
█▀║ solo-projects. ║▀█
█▀║ In 1991-1996 Ivan Sokolovsky played at a number of prestigious ║▀█
█▀║ international music festivals in Europe: World Wide Music (Berlin, ║▀█
█▀║ Germany), Ultima (Oslo, Norway), New Ethnic (Leipzig, Germany), etc. ║▀█
█▀║ In 1993 he launched own Random Studio to explore music delving into ║▀█
█▀║ ambient, space, experimental soundscapes, acid, electronic and more. ║▀█
█▀║ "Formed as a vehicle to allow us to release individual music of the ║▀█
█▀║ most experimental and innovative character, Random has gone different ║▀█
█▀║ stages in nine years that it has been in existence... Home of the ║▀█
█▀║ intelligent wayward and the bizarre experiment we are building up a ║▀█
█▀║ roster that is as unique as it is ground-breaking. There are no ║▀█
█▀║ boundaries to the music, it is dedicated to bringing you the most ║▀█
█▀║ interesting results of artists existing in a true underground space." ║▀█
█▀║ The "River, Lake, Sea..." compilation was released in 1994 to ║▀█
█▀║ introduce a bunch of studio artists to the general public (includes ║▀█
█▀║ tracks from TVD, The Eight's Day, The Keepers, Dzu-Om, Yat-Kha, ║▀█
█▀║ Vladimir Ratzkevich, Alexei Borisov, Soft Animals and Ivan Sokolovsky ║▀█
█▀║ himself). ║▀█
█▀║ Since 1996 the composer has also been involved with the SOLDAT ║▀█
█▀║ SEMYONOV project, which is putting together an ambitious mix of ║▀█
█▀║ art-readings by Arkady Semenov and music by Ivan Sokolovsky. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Album Info: ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ With "Khan's Afternoon Rest", Ivan Sokolovsky set out to create ║▀█
█▀║ large-scale versions of the ominous, spiritualized music of Asiatic ║▀█
█▀║ nomads. Utilizing a talented cast of vocalists Sainkho Namchylak and ║▀█
█▀║ Albert Kuvezin, the composer keeps the music relatively dark and ║▀█
█▀║ steady. Shimmering bells, whispering shaman-tambourines, plaintive ║▀█
█▀║ windpipes, Dmitry Kutergin's mournful violin, Victor Lukianov's ║▀█
█▀║ sorrowful guitars, and Ivan Sokolovsky's weird synthesizers flow ║▀█
█▀║ together in the intense and threatening stream. Some pieces are made ║▀█
█▀║ quite scare, when Sokolovsky is not taking new age tangents. There are ║▀█
█▀║ moments of great power telling about human's eternal spiritual quest ║▀█
█▀║ for higher perfection in the universe and the struggle to achieve this ║▀█
█▀║ illumination with dark ancient forces that crash such ambition. ║▀█
█▀║ "The music is a bit on the harsh side for New Age. It contains ║▀█
█▀║ elements of Industrial and Techno, plus interesting sound-sculpting ║▀█
█▀║ racket alongside more melodic parts. The quality of the recording is ║▀█
█▀║ excellent, and makes for an enjoyable listening experience." - Fred ║▀█
█▀║ Trafton (New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock, April 2001) ║▀█
█▀║ Fans of Ivan Sokolovsky more open work won't be as interested in this ║▀█
█▀║ as they were with the composer's far more accessible earlier albums. ║▀█
█▀║ "Khan's Afternoon Rest" is nearly overwhelming in its mysterious ║▀█
█▀║ atmosphere and demands to be listened to with an open mind and a ║▀█
█▀║ strong visual imagination. ║▀█
