"Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best."
(Frank Zappa)
Umenden is an experimental music collaboration founded by Maxim Abelev and Kagan Arik in 2007. Umenden explore music and sound manipulation as a technique of transformation. Umenden music is created through combination of repetitive and gradually shifting sound patterns with ritualistic improvisation. Along with computer-based synthesizers and extensively manipulated guitar soundscapes, Umenden frequently incorporates human voice and speech as an ingredient. Umenden have self-released two albums ("Broken Mirror" and "Red Wind"), which are available for free streaming at http://last.fm/music/Umenden, along with selected live performance recordings. As of February 2009, work is underway on the group's third album-length release.
UMENDEN are always interested in hearing ideas for collaboration with others.
