Chronos is a Russian music band formed in 2004 in Moscow. The project was started by Niсk Klimenko, a professional musician and sound engineer. The musical style of the project varies greatly within different genres of electronic music combined with motives of classical and ethnic music as well as vocal and recordings of nature sounds and live voices.
The progenitor of the band is Nick Klimenko, a composer, sound engineer, sound designer, the founder of electronic music school (Stereoschool) and a studio, the author of electronic music composing courses. Nick has been practising music in various forms since childhood, has finished the First National School of Television with a specialization in TV sound engineering. He used to act as a dj at many musical events in Russia and Europe and as a radio host at the first Russian Internet radio of electronic music Sunwave Radio. Nick is a Steinberg certificated tutor of Cubase 7 sequencer, an official sound-designer of the German company "Best Service GmbH, and also he has created sound libraries for synthesizers of such companies as Yamaha, Korg, Access.
At different time collaboration with labels: Altar Records (Canada), Soundmute Records (England), Sentimony Records (Ukraine), Random Records (Spain), Uxmal Records (Mexico), Beats & Pieces Records (Israel), Mystic Sound Records (Russia), Aventuel Records (Russia), Ajana Records (Netherlands), Plusquam Records (Germany), Ajnavision Records (Portugal), Cosmicleaf Records (Greece), and various musicians from all over the world (Aes Dana, Shulman, Khooman, Koan, Astropilot, Asura, Taff, Planetarium, Lemonchill, Astralwaves, Maiia, Side Liner, Zero Cult).
Chronos project was formed in 2004 when the first tracks were released in the compilation of the Russian label Quadro-disk, then in the compilation of the German label Ajana Records. In 2007 the debut album Steps to the Great Knowledge was released at the Sunline Records with its presentation at Flexible Dreams party in the Pag&Arm club. The same year Dmitriy Neschadim (aka С.J. Catalizer) joined the project, and the two young musicians played on numerous stages of Moscow, Moscow region, cities of Russia and Ukraine accompanied by live instruments and vocal. In 2009 the musicians released their cooperative album Quid Est Veritas, then Dmitriy left the project and different musicians have taken part in the project activity from then onward.
As of now Nick has released 7 studio albums, 10 EPs, a great number of tracks in compilations of different countries, soundtracks for video clips, degree works, and foreign TV-programmes about Nature. Chronos band gives performances in different types of environment: small clubs, large-scale parties, live concerts in cinemas and planetariums, at world-famous festivals, federal events.
Chronos music is a permanent experiment with new sounds and techniques on the stage and in the studio. Their music is a mix of modern rhythms and powerful sequences, the contemplative cello, expressive guitar solos and inspiring live instruments. Chronos music unites advanced electronic music (idm, psybient, chillout, trip-hop, downtempo, ambient, space music, breaks) with motives of funk, jazz, ethno, Flamenco and rock. Each full-band concert of Chronos project is a unique performance of atmospheric sounding of mixed genres and live instruments (guitar, cello, violin, saxophone, percussion, didgeridoo, tambourine, hang, Jew's harp).
Concurrently Nick is developing his solo breaks/progressive project NK Vibes and synthpop/electro-acoustic project Sparky4 in collaboration with Alexey Ansheles and Zhanna Kuzmina.

A wonderful debut album by Chronos. A masterpiece of psybient, downtempo electronic music. The music is beautifully arranged and constructed, with that awesome electronic feel and, at the same time, that atmosphere which drives the listener to a mental/spiritual state of pure chillout bliss, as expected from one of the best acts within this kind of music. If you don't know Chronos, you should chekt it out!

In 2007 and 2008 Nick Klimenko and Dimitriy Neschadim formed a duo and composed an album with ambient, ethnic influences and chillout trance vibrations. 'Quid est Veritas?' is the musical outcome of an intensive cooperation, 11 tracks build upon etnic rythyms and influences of ancient cultures.
Melodic downtempo trance and chillout instrumentals with global enhancements. Quid Est Veritas is a deliciously smooth album of ethno-electronica - the rich sonic palette maintaining a liquid-silky polish from start to finish. The synth work here is especially fine; delicate melodic phrases rise out of bubbling sequencer cycles and airy pads often with striking beauty and with an almost constant sense of bliss. The largely programmed beats fuse naturally in places with international grooves and hand drumming; arpeggiated basses, chime patterns and burbling synths rippling in rhythmic accord. The most evident world sounds across the album are vocal: meditative Indian utterances and lively drum talk; female wails and soaring operatics; brooding monk chants, spoken voices and transmission fragments. The other primary organic sound being the flute - a variety of lush breathy phrases and brief touches from different continents and cultures bringing a heady mystique or wistful colour. Field recordings are also utilised in places to powerful effect - passing footfalls, environmental sounds and locational cues.

Downtempo psychill, lush electronica and acoustic performance. Inspirational Power opens with a gentle, beatless melodic piece built around a cycling, sequential pattern; distant male vocals hang wordlessly in the bright Autumn air; warm atmospherics; tranquil harmony. Chronos appears to be revelling in the beauty of digital sound on these tracks: gradual developments and expansive interludes in no rush to a final destination; beats that seem to inhabit the music rather than dominate; attractive melodic phrases and the intertwined twinkle of arpeggiators. There is a distinct sense of a musical journey to the album as the earlier restfulness develops into more climactic pieces with heavier grooves around the midway mark. Finally the music ascends spaceward via the synthetic sci-fi tones and philosophical musings of Optimistic Future and the meandering, ethereal, beat free concluder Forgiveness.
There are ten tracks in all here that rise out of restful introspection gradually into dynamic downtempo psychedelia and global chill before floating right off through the stratosphere into infinite space. This album reveals Chronos to be a multifaceted project with both carefully crafted studio work and live performance aspects in evidence. The depth and colour of sound benefits from Nick's work developing virtual instruments and sound libraries as well as his collaborative relationships that give rise to some engrossing instrumentation threaded through the electronica.

Looking at the song titles i doubt Niсk Klimenko read the brilliant work by Velikofsky (Worlds in Collision) when Mars really did meet Venus and Mars (being the smaller one) paid a huge price and we got the asteroid belt, but don't tell the astronomers because they've got their own official CRAZY ideas (see Wiki). And Velikofsky remains blacklisted. Anyway apparently the story was made after inspirational ideas coming from great science fiction writers: Ivan Efremov, Stanislav Lem, Ray Bradbury. It's also a story featuring unconditional love which is present everywhere in our universe and about the principles of relationships of man (Mars) & woman (Venus).

ReplyDeleteHi Rho,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for Chronos! As per Discogs suggestions, we're in Shpongle, Aes Dana territory, sometimes Ozric Tentacles, too. Great stuff.
Note: 'Worlds In Collision' by Velikovsky is included in the Mars Meets Venus I download.
