He used to be a key figure in the underground scene of Almaty, Kazakhstan, also run some really good zines. You can find out more about him at his MySpace profile. Ily is a new, brilliant release from Denis. Here's what he writes about his inspirations and about this music: The river Ily begins at the Tien Shan in China at an altitude of 3540m. It covers the distance of 1439km, of which 815km within the territory of Kazakhstan, where it's one of the largest rivers. Flows into the western part of the lake Balkhash - at its outfall the vast delta is formed with several permanent branches (Zhideli, Topar) and numerous small lakes and backwaters. The river strongly affects the Balkhash - this salt lake's is almost half fresh only because of the Ily. At the beginning of 20th century the river was a busy trade road from he west of China, but today it is popular only among romantics who like to play their guitars at the campfire, and adventure tourists who raft on the river down to the Balkhash. Try to trace its flow on a map - if you look long and attentively, if your eyes catch every ringlet on its course, you will probably start hearing the music. I hear this music. experimental; avantgarde http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 2009-04-21 22:52:50 2009-04-21 22:38:18 audiotong@audiotong.net 2009-04-23 02:06:41 AudioTong
