GRAVITSAPA – [DEMO] 2 (2016)

DOWNLOAD

Gravitsapa is a Ukrainian band formed in 2005. The band recorded two mini-albums: self released Radio Free Albemuth in 2009, which was released in 2013 by HYSM? label under the name Free Radio Taxipod, and Vulgata also released by labels HYSM? and Skrot Up in 2013.

Listeners and critics praised Gravitsapa as the pioneers of the Ukrainian math-rock stage perfoming among the most brightful experimental sounds.

The band has taken its namе after the Soviet cult film Kin-Dza-Dza! depicting post-apocalyptic anti-Utopia. The major theme of Gravitsapa’s work can be described in three words: mysticism, sci-fi and absurdness.

Loyalty to a one style is not an attitude to music for Gravitsapa. A one successful experiment performed in a track to be not repeated in the other seems to be the band’s motto. Only eternal escape from the cliche, emission of otherworldly atmosphere and attempts to create music as a tool to enter a trance.

Throughout its history,Gravitsapa had completely changed the stuff for three times and pass a way from the alternative rock band  through experimental mathematical music to the style that is difficult to determine nowadays.

Band members consider themselves living bearers of Chatlanian culture and followers of Unknown Teacher from apocryphal school Subidubishvabra. Contact with Inspiring Creature initiated the period of extraterrestrial music and psychography. The band has been seen in the relationship with “Hovorytskiy Yur” radio (it belongs to the cognominal Order, which acts in Ukraine since Bohdan Khmelnytsky). In 2009 the World (of Hague) was shaken with first Gravitsapas EP “Free Radio of Albemut”, which name is dedicated to one strange person. Musicians do not expect to find understanding on Earth, so they are trying to gain spiritual experience and create music as divinities for new audiences of spiritual connoisseurs of inadequate. Gravitsapa eschews its first musical experience, considering it sinful mistake of unconverted mind, which comes from primitive human brain.

Foreword by Dr. Oleksandra Olexandrivna Merezhko:

…this work is unique also because it shows up from two different angles. In one hand, even an average lower population representative

 may catch himself thinking that he’s been taking a refuge in thoughts like these for many years, and there isn’t anything new brought by

the author into his inner world. In another hand, this idea is so revolutionary, that the courage of the author, who bravely carried out

 this burden of truth from subconscious level into this material world, is glorified. And each of us can realise the danger of this idea

 and its explosive strength.

It’s time for the old ideas to give up. Nothing can stop the new time, even some restraint of the author, who would never make a great

 idea from this thought, and a great work from this idea, and would not share it with all the planet population, if there were other

circumstances and other epochs. The old gods give way to the new ones. Like Titans, not able to resist the olimpic gods’ pressure.

 The new world components were at the same time the ways of destroying the old reality.
