Intro

Andrey Kiritchenko is a pivotal figure in the Ukrainian experimental scene, serving as both a prolific creator and a tireless curator through his Nexsound label and the Detali Zvuku festival. His sound identity is defined by a sophisticated blend of glitch aesthetics, microsound, and electroacoustic composition.

Emerging from a rock background in the mid-90s, he pivoted toward electronic abstraction, gaining international acclaim in the early 2000s during the peak of the 'clicks and cuts' movement. His work often explores the intersection of digital processing and organic sound sources, utilizing field recordings and acoustic instruments that are meticulously deconstructed. Critically, he is viewed as a master of restraint, capable of maintaining tension through minimal means. His influence extends beyond his own discography into the broader Eastern European electronic landscape, where he has acted as a bridge to Western experimental circles through high-profile collaborations with artists like Francisco Lopez and Kim Cascone.
