in the spirit of post-modernism, with which contemporary art is successful and generates itself non-stop, the participants of ingenting kollektiva
run loops recycling bach, olivier messiaen, ingmar bergman, as well as material from their own debut album "fragments of night", (which was also
built on the processing of records of the sixties), with the result, multidimensional drone ambient, in which living organic textures entered into
an algebraic cold electro-transformation, helping to achieve genuine infinity in the cycle of individual small particles "everything is abyss".
okay, bad habit to start a review from the end of the album, as it should start from the beginning. the origins of "lost beyond telling", inspired by
reflections on french poetry and existentialism, takes in the winter dusk isolationist, where the walls swept house on the outskirts of civilization
someone trying to dream, drowning in endless snowy landscapes, and it is almost impossible. more precisely, it turns out to capture the moment
when a drowsy consciousness beginning to have fragments of melodies and sounds that seem so familiar, but stubbornly defy identification. in
deep sleep interfere dive footsteps behind a wall but a ghostly whisper, it is possible that these winter ghosts hurry to look into your room and head
through the frost-painted glass. overall likable beginning, where the resonating cavities arise spontaneously, quickly go to the forefront, paving the
bridge to the following picture, mood, inspired by this sleepy humming and vibrating extracts from time classic music. somewhere along the way there
is a guitar haze, sometimes even to take the shape of "right" tunes, but sinking into the soul of it is this his ephemeral, likening fell to earth the
mist, through which the rays of dawn had already punched, driving some to thicken at the time "this presence perhaps absence" darkness. but in the
morning bliss should absolutely charming organic ambient "the air wove of these nothings", transparent, full loop of the lake screaming birds and
ringing singing bowls. in this little world of the melting of winter and the coming of spring breaks sound of water along with the sounds of cello
and violin as well as flocks of cranes returning from the south, the shouting and beating of wings are attached to established authors locations
vitality and organic beauty. however, even the new eydzhevym moments "lost beyond telling" moody textures are almost always accompanied by
a sense of the abyss, spanning all the living things that make this album. elements gradually simplified, lose their "color" under string sounds,
and fall into the void, which is like a small child, to screen large resonant arrays and spatial indexes, leaving only sound the sand grains and
brittle bones of birds that will be shifting in the palms throughout "everything is abyss". however, in this endless time, you probably will sleep
and very different dreams.
in its texture and emotional content "lost beyond telling" is a very high quality and strong album. its frosty crackles, echo dawn glare and emptiness
want re-listens, perhaps with a small volume of baudelaire in ones hands, with some bach fugue, which plays in the background of the next room,
and black and white bergman characters on the screen, open their mouths in time with the beyond whisper, and is filled with the strange and
expressive music "ingenting kollektiva".

amoeba records, from "music we like, spring/summer 2013"
CD + DVD set following up from the previous LP fragments of night, this is another excursion into shifting forms and atmospheres by this kollektiv
of sound and film artists. mesmerizing and beautiful, haunted, hushed. . . an entire night's worth of dreams assembled into two pieces of silvery
plastic. i don't know how much to say about this wonderful ensemble, their releases thus far are far and away the best "ambient" music i've heard.
recently excellent at most any volume, a perfect soundtrack to drift - whether to sleep, to think, or to stare into space and empty your thoughts.
beautiful

between the cover notes of lost beyond telling, released by invisible birds, we immediately we notice the participation of a master of ambient music,
known for the excellence of his highly dilated, organic and synthetic sounds. choosing taylor deupree to master this work was a perfect move. the
sound-artist is on the same wavelength as the musical sequences organized by johannes d'église and matthew swiezynski, whose atmospheres are
very meditative, elegiac and evocative. the two experimenters have given life to fragments created out of a re-interpretation of the album fragments
of night, released by the ingenting kollektiva and now enriched with additional materials from works by js bach, ingmar bergman and olivier messiaen.
the background is clearly inspired by the work of modern french poets such as charles baudelaire, yves bonnefoy and philippe jaccotet: in spite of those
influences, this complex work also features drones, patterns, overlapping elements, highly fluid sounds, dynamic dark passages and iterations lacking
quietism. those feelings are underlined by the images (there is a video released with the album): the sequences are in motion and vibrate in a very
vivid manner. the video is the result of the partnership between matthew swiezynsk and and tarrl lightowler (image, editing, sound), with the
participation of another sound artist, this time italian giuseppe ielasi, who did the mastering.
