melting clouds is a post-rock band from Kyiv. Created in Spring of 2009 it’s still looking for its own means of expression in sound and musical approach. Their music is comprised of considerably modified guitar sound added to distinctive atmospheric electronic background with the support of live drums and percussion. The musicians often abandon the riffic sound in favor of creation of sonic atmosphere to create a mood and their music becomes slightly meditative in a very unusual interpretation of post-rock.
On May 30, 2009 during a festival dedicated to 90th Anniversary of Odessa film studio, the band melting clouds held their first gig, a sort of touchstone for the band and its music. The night performance in front of a small audience that was not limited by time gave the band full freedom in choosing the ways of expression. The void space filled with viscous flows of music was transformed and filled with visual images of Fi/Fo (http://fifo.org.ua) team for which performing as a video support for a live music project was also a new experience. The band’s music proved that it’s relevant and in demand, but also defined new, previously not evident requirements for expression, which in its turn determined the necessity of reorganizing the band’s musical as well as visual approach to its creativity.
On September 21, 2009 as a part of GogolFest-2009 festival the band melting clouds with the video support of Fi/Fo team and the support of laser show SYNartgroup (photosynthesis.com.ua) held its first full-scale gig. 1,5 hours of combined music and video created a frighteningly spacious atmosphere of arched galleries, enticing the listener with its rich sound of at times enveloping, at times tearing and hacking passages, enclosed into smooth and diverse video footage. The play of sound and light subtly captivated the space not letting to ignore the impulse, making the listener either fully accept everything that was going on as a phenomenon and realize oneself as an empathetic creator or fully reject what was going on, which appealed to variety of feelings and experiences, both enticing and frightening, claiming the listener for the ability to respond.
The diverse fusions of the listener and the spectator, the light and the music, the idea and the shape created highly complex, but cozy picture, where everyone would be free to become a light and fleeting cloud, entrusted to the wind to finally melt, but stay.
Здравствуйте. Да в дальнейшем мы планируем проводить мероприятия, однако во многом это будет зависеть от развития проекта. Если коммьюнити будет расти и развиваться то конечно будет иметь смысл проводить мероприятия и появится возможность привлекать спонсоров. Тогда ваш коллектив сможет поучаствовать непосредственно в выступлении.Пока же такой возможности нет , организация у нас некоммерческая и все происходит на чистом энтузиазме. На данном этапе вы можете выпускаться у нас поднимая свой и наш рейтинг. Спасибо за интерес.
Ум, честь и совесть Советского drum'n’bass подпоясались и отправились нести ломаные ритмы КПСС (Космической Партии Советского Союза) в народные массы. А как известно – против лома нет приёма! Даёшь угар со смыслом!
