V ANDREI RIKICHI was brought up in Switzerland and Belgium and now based out of London. He is a multi-instrumentalist. This is his first attempt at being a solo artist. This 14 song CD was Recorded and Produced by Andrei Rikichi and Recorded and Mixed at Bearsuit and Mastered by Ian Hawgood.
This whole song CD is made of twisted loops, twisted loops, bubbling electronics, glitchy beats. analogue extranet and all kinds of noise. This CD is fragmentary experimental fragments that could get into your head and bring flashbacks and images. Hold onto your seats and get ready for an uncontrolled journey and ride and make sure you're strapped in.
THEME FROM THE BUTCHER'S PARADE kicks off the CD and try to count how many instruments you hear composed in this short intro. I think WHAT HAPPENED TO WHITEY WALLACE ? will really twist up your head, the hammering sound, the cement mixer churning and so much 'white noise'., as it's called.
PLAYER NAME: THE SYRACUSE APOSTLE has a weird, off beat sound with some eastern vibes and some plain old noise. So, where are we going from here? Makes me wonder! THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS brings in the very last of the noise on this album. I find this music, if that is what you call it, to be intriguing at times and wonder how to put a category on it. I suppose it's postmodern, avant garde as many other artists were when they made their first venture.
There is no doubt, I could see Andrei Rikichi making many soundtracks in the near future. You can find Andrei Rikchi at: Bearsuit Records, Apple Music, Deezer, You Tube, iHeart, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Facebook and Spotify. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [www.steelnotesmazagine.com]
