Artificial Owl Recordings announces the release of Free Waltz, the latest vinyl album from Yekaterinburg’s multifaceted electronic music visionary Andrey Kurokhtin - a captivating journey through experimental and ambient soundscapes, Free Waltz compiles tracks recorded between 2016 and 2024, drawing inspiration from the vivid images and memories stored in Kurokhtin’s mind.

”The album captures the essence of the unusual—moments that linger from past experiences. The mood of each track is shaped by the state of Kurokhtin’s soul, influenced by diverse experiences: serene walks in the forest, the hum of an airplane in flight, heartfelt conversations, cycling through open landscapes, the pulse of love, and the energy of music itself.”

Many of these compositions were born from extended jam sessions in his studio, where creativity flows freely. The album showcases Kurokhtin’s mastery of an extensive array of synthesizers, samplers, sequencers, and effectors, blended with intricate digital plugins and meticulous processing. This sonic palette creates a rich, immersive sound that bridges experimental, ambient, and electronic genres, offering listeners a deeply personal and evocative experience.
