The 27th release of katharsis is the album “Alien Implants” by the Siberian artist and composer Dmitri Mazurov. Throughout the 9 tracks and 77 minutes of the album, the listener is submerged into a haunting maze of mystifying experimental electro-acoustic sound portraying distant conspiracies of another time and place. This almost paradoxical juxtaposition of classical instruments with elements from contemporary electronic music is quite novel to katharsis, but fits perfectly with our vision of showcasing the multifaceted emotional and expressive properties of music. The album starts harshly off with a flow of rocks, stones and underwater gurgling on the intro track “Burevo”, before a flooding of more delicate but yet restless sounds on “Mimicry” performed by Kymatic Ensemble, who are also featured on the evocative title track “Alien Implants”. This expressive focus is vivid throughout the whole album, but especially on tracks like “Hauntology” performed with novel techniques on the accordion played by Roman Malyavkin, or on the archetypical crying of a guitar played with a comb on the track “Weeping”. The whole thing is concluded by an alienesque communication on the track “Morphing”, which is premiered with the announcement of the pre-order.
