Outsider Noesh 2, Qube, Frogs
Grundik + Slava – Frogsזו היא הוצאה משותפת של תופת פרופ? ושל אוריס מדיה, שהייתי צריך לחשוב ?וב מאוד מה אני כותב עליה. בואו נתחיל בתופת פרופ? (כי את אוריס מדיה אני לא כ”כ מכיר), תופת הוא מפעל של איש אחד שעושה רבות בשביל המוסיקה הניסיונית והאובר-אל?רנ?יבית בישראל (והפצתה בחו”ל). אותו איש יקר (אורי.ש, שיזכה [...]
Zookeeper, Grundik+Slava and Ambidextrous split
Jon Barnes Reviewed 2005-03-28 A+ outing from Grundik & Slava teamed up with Ambidextrous. Some of the tunes are by G & S, some by Ambidextrous, and others are one team remixing the other. All-around stellar electronic compositions, at times leaning toward experimental. Some of the more complex experimental drum patterns are beyond my taste, [...]
Cyclic Defrost 10, for electronics and birds, January 2005
Igor “Grundik” Kasyansky and Slava Smelovsky are Russian Jews based in Israel, and have three previous releases on Israeli labels, but this is their first to have international distribution. It’s perhaps a little surprising to discover that this album’s title means what it says: the pretty ambient electronics produced by its creators do accompany sampled [...]
haindkl, for electronics and birds, 18.10.2004
Based on cyclic and light sounds the fourth Grundik + Slava album gently explore new solutions in experimental music. “Lost fado” for example is based on percussive sounds, pads, Asian choirs and could explain really well what I mean. The title …FOR ELECTRONICS AND BIRDS and the cover art, are both a good hint about [...]
The Jewish Agency For Israel, interview with Grundik+Slava
Каждый, кто читал про вол?ебника изумрудного города, знает, что Гудвин — великий и ужасный. Каждый, кто знаком с «Грюндиком & Славой» (www.grusla.is2day.co.il), в курсе, что они электронные и деконструктивные. А, вообще, Грюндик (он же ?горь Касьянский) — журналист и выпускающий редактор сайта «?зраиль сегодня» (www.is2day.co.il) . Слава – Слава Смеловский – в про?лом программист, а [...]
Auralpressure, for electronics and birds
Are you tired of boring and bland mainstream music and looking for something that’s totally out of the ordinary? Are you looking for a record full of quirkiness and charm and searching forlornly for innovation and originality but can’t find it? Search no further my friend. Your quest is over and your prayers have been [...]
Digg, for electronics and birds, 27.09.2004
Grundik (Kasyansky) en Slava (Smelovsky) zijn natuurlijk niet de eerste joden van Russische afkomst die, via een tussenstop in het land van melk en honing, versasten naar de Big Apple. Maar wanneer er binnen afzienbare tijd een award wordt uitgereikt voor het Aardigste en Schattigste Plaatje van het jaar, dan zullen zij het zijn die [...]

Funprox, for electronics and birds, 13.09.2004
review by: HD Birds in the title, birds on the cover and the sounds of twittering birds when this cd starts. The theme becomes instantly clear. But his album is certainly not only of interest to ornithologists. ‘For Electronics and Birds’ is recommended to everyone who loves moody electronic music with experimental structures, yet with [...]
