Hello IDMers,
LasyFish "Vortex" (ART007CD) was released week ago.
Here is a press-release:
====================================================================
Prelude:
It was in 1998 when I was in a car with my friends going from a club
through limelight Moscow. We were laughing and giggling about cheesy
DJs and chicky promoters all around these clubs, when my attention was
caught by the music from the tape played in the car. It were very
analogue sounding distorted pulsations changing the colours and
directions of the beats in mysterious ways. "What is it playing?" I
wondered. "Oh, this is a friend of my friend who makes music for
himself. He lives in Moscow and he calls himself Lazyfish". This
answer was the most unexpected for me. We were listening to the
music as Lazyfish was showing us his sonic tricks one after another.
I asked my friend whether he knew what equipment Lazyfish used. "He
uses some kind of program on his computer which allows you to build
your synthesisers like lego". This was even more of a surprise cause
I thought I was the only one in Moscow at that time to use such things.
No doubt, Lazyfish was a new rising star of russian electronica and we
had to release him on ArT-TeK.

ArT-TeK Records is proud to announce the first ever full-length
release of new and no doubt one of the most interesting electronic
artists of Moscow - the Lazyfish.
His name originates from a small pirate company he ran with his
friends to produce skateboards. In addition to skateboarding Sasha is
a great fan of riding his mountain bike down the hill to get some doze
of adrenalin plus many wounds and bruises. During the winter he makes
a lot of efforts to kill himself on a snowboard. No wonder he used to
listen to a lot of industrial music and played on a bass guitar. Among
his influences at that time he names PSYCHIC TV, CURRENT-93, COIL,
SCORN.
He started composing music with his guitar sometime in 1997 and soon
he bought a drum machine Yamaha ry-20, of which he still is a great
fan. Soon after purchasing a computer he recorded his first tracks on
tapes to give out to his mates. These tapes quickly spread around
Moscow and the buzz about Lazyfish began to grow.
His talent to dig and explore the possibilities of the software
quickly brought him to the forefront of electronic music technology
and now he sells his own tools to music software companies. Most of
the music he makes now is produced with his own virtual equipment.
This album contains 16 tracks mixed together to lead a listener
through mathematical mazes of sonic pulsations of industrial
landscapes and nightclubs of Moscow. "Vortex" merely develops and
changes showing the variety of its colours, so that you will admire
to it its diversity.
We love this album and glad to be able to share it with you now.

Roman
