Dear friends,

Today we present you our very last and final release.

Yes, Kvitnu is being closed.

Our amazing World is developing and changing extremely fast and intensively. And so are we, as an organic and integral part of it.

What time is better for a radical change than during such a great turmoil we all are living through right now?

We feel that together with many other great changes, some completely new relations between an artist and a listener are being formed right now. Relations and communication streams which are much more direct and personal than ever before. And the role of a label as a mediator between listener and producer is changing drastically, giving life to something new.

After almost 14 years of our development and more than 70 releases in our catalogue, we believe that Kvitnu has written its own and very special page in a history of experimental music. We have grown together with our artists, with whom we have created and shaped Kvitnu’s unique sound. Our great and loyal International audience who supported us over the years is the best proof that we did something really good and honest from the heart.

But everything comes to an end one day. Good projects too.

Our future is greatly unpredictable and we are jumping into this new wave with a lot of new hopes, plans and ideas!

REVIEW

Pan Sonic – Oksastus (Album – KVITNU)

Genre/Influences: Experimental, industrial, abstract.

Format: Digital, CD, Double Vinyl.

Background/Info: Pan Sonic, the legendary Finnish duo featuring Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen recorded this album live in 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine. It happened one year before the band’s split. “Oksastus” –which is a Finnish word for the process of grafting or cultivating of plants, was originally released in 2014 by Kvitnu. So this album is a reissue, strictly limited to 300 copies (CD format).

Content: Pan Sonic doesn’t need any further introduction. The duo remains a reference when it comes to experimental music. But their sound is often more than pure experiment; it’s a fascination for sound creation and manipulation. “Oksastus” sounds improvised, sometimes moving on the edge of industrial music, but it also reveals inhibited parts. The tracks are simply named after their time duration, but they all together create the sensation of a long-during single piece, kind of sonic collage from artists turning the k***s and filtering sequences.

+ + + : Pan Sonic will bring their fans an expertise in electro-acoustic music. I leave it in the middle if it’s music or not, but I think the main strength lies in the creation and manipulations of sounds/noises. That’s what made this band that famous and recognized. They also got experimental music more accessible; sometimes because of the addition of rhythm, but often because of the impressive sound treatments. I also like the somewhat reserved aspect of a few tracks, like sharing some of their deepest thoughts with their audience. No need to get a real interaction, the sound makes it very understandable for all.

- - - : The experimental- and improvised approach is not suited for all listeners. It remains an ultra experimental experience.

Conclusion: I often experienced experimental music as a style without real emotions, but I often considered Pan Sonic as one of the few exceptions to the rule: emotive experimental music!

Best songs: “5’42”, “17’28”.

Rate: (7½).

This one is from the label’s founder Dmytro Fedorenko. Seven massive growling technoise pieces of industrial poetry. This album is a story of a never-ending change, travels and intense discoveries. Music stretched in time, compressed, polished and distilled through immerse overloads.
