It's a beautiful collection of tracks by Bulgarian artist Polygon Ring that, in his own words, \"ranges from tender and hazy interludes, through wavering instrumental hip-hop pieces, to lengthy messed up glitch affairs.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFans of Boards of Canada and Autechre should certainly lend this album an ear as their influences on Polygon Ring's sounds and techniques are pretty out in the open.\u0026nbsp; Be that as it may, he mixes and molds the warped tape loops and textural beats into arrangements of his own, incorporating hints of traditional music from his ancestral heritage, hip-hop leaniencies, and recordings of live performance with radio receiver hardware.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis personal style really shines in the track Clouds And Other Contraptions, which happens to be a favorite of mine.\u0026nbsp; A constant drone tone provides meditative bliss while glitchy rhythms dance around you and a distant voice, sounding like it was recorded in a cathedral, sings an unintelligible but heartfelt hymn.\u0026nbsp; I hope Polygon Ring decides to explore this sound in future releases as it is both gorgeous and unique.\u0026nbsp; I also quite enjoy his shorter interludes which feature warm, Bach-like organ solos, and the instrumental hip-hop joint \"A Most Unusual Camera\" that includes a lazy flute loop, shimmery synths and a sampled Rod Serling monologue from the Twilight Zone.\u0026nbsp; While listening through this album from start to finish, it's easy to tell that these songs were composed by someone who has an undying appreciation and love for this style of music;\u0026nbsp; he handles it with care.\u0026nbsp;

It was actually Nik, the head of \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.kahvi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EKahvi\u003C\/a\u003E, who found out that I was performing at last year's \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.artmospheric.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EArtmospheric festival\u003C\/a\u003E and was curious what I was up to musically, since I had not released anything on Kahvi for the last several years. I sent him the tracks that I played there and he was eager to release them right away. I was convinced by his positive attitude that releasing them to a wider audience would actually be a good thing. Most of these tracks were from older albums and EPs of mine that I had only sent out among various friends and never intended for world-wide release, but I was converted. Still, I wanted some time to work on what exactly to include in the album, polish a bit more some of the tracks that end up on it, and have the whole release properly mastered. This took about an year to happen, and being featured on the podcast was like a little nudge for me to lead things to completion. The album itself contains pieces dating back to 2004, and each following year till 2010 is represented by at least two tracks.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/49544024@N07\/4605714782\/\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\" title=\"Polygon Ring by brainchops, on Flickr\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Polygon Ring\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3184\/4605714782_a88ab5de94_o.jpg\" width=\"150\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cb\u003EBc:\u003C\/b\u003E  Ah, I see.

Both these little interludes were written about 6 years ago. Nik was keen on having the first one, and I'm pretty partial to the latter for more reasons than just the sheer sound of it. So, leading to the second part of the question, hard as it is to single a track out, I'd say this is a draw between \"Istedi\" and \"Induce\" which featured an enjoyable live performance on two radio receivers. Recording \"Clouds and Other Contraptions\" was a pleasant experience too. It was recorded live and has subtle references to traditional Bulgarian music with its constant drone, specific rhythmic structure, and the dvoyanka parts (that's a wooden double flute).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EBc:\u003C\/b\u003E  What artists inspire you most to make music?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EPR:\u003C\/b\u003E  I enjoy tons of different music, but I guess the \u003Cb\u003EAutechre\u003C\/b\u003E and \u003Cb\u003EBoards of Canada\u003C\/b\u003E influences are the most obvious.
