Talek Glover, taking notes, Frogs, 2006
Creating an audio work that is both interesting and that achieves it’s objective of representing the world of frogs is no easy thing to do. However Grundik+Slava have done just that and it works surprisingly well. Using a combination of techniques including field recordings, electronics, electroacoustics, synthesisers, noise and drones, built around Victoria’s improvised vocals, [...]
Frans De Waard, Vital Weekly 548, “live journal 12.28.2005″
The best release of the three is however from a Russian musician living in New York: Grundik Kasyansky. He had releases on State Art (see Vital Weekly 424) and Creative Sources Recordings (see Vital Weekly 530). His instruments include a computer, small theremin, radios and feedback synthesizer, although he limits himself to the latter here. [...]

The project Grundik + Slava formed while the duo attended university in Tel Aviv; even though Grundik now resides in New York City, this unusual [...]

Full of frequencies between frequencies and sounds between sounds, Light And Roundchair is a finely tuned exploration of the strange interstitial spaces between sound events. A vocabulary of tones slowly evolves, almost disappearing as soon as they are focused on, like a set of counterpoints of accompanists in search of a theme. On “10.9.2005″ Tod [...]
Alan Mine, Heathen Harvest, Frogs, 2006
Sometime in 2004 Grundik & Slava released one of the most beguiling, intriguing and absolutely beautiful releases titled ?…For Electronics and Birds’ on the Russian Stateart Record label. It should have sold tons. In truth…probably no-one went out and bought it. The mixture of experimental and avant-garde electronic pieces to be found on there can [...]
