recordings. Decorative design presented as full-color six-panel envelope.
This release presents the first part of collaborating materials recorded by Nikolay Kalmykov (Hladna) and Sergey Ilchuk (Vresnit) in a remote
Jarogora village in January 2010. Winter woods of Vepsky Park, ...disturbing pulsation of the earth and majestic meditative canvas. Handbells summons the frozen spirits, the snow crunching underfoot breaks off by sharp technogenic crunches, twilight goes down, the frost grows stronger and then all calms down. At a dawn fairytale maids sing solar lullabies, and boundless birds spin heavenly open spaces. Space drone equipment, flutes, jaw's harp, field taperecordings, -the nature and technology have merged here in three dense Drone Noise Ambient shamanic rituals where kind covers of Vresnit's chtonic naturalism and weird psychedelic hide a lump of severe urbanistic existentialism which is indispensable for Hladna's works. Design presented by full-color six-panel envelope from Vresnit Art.
Sky and Earth meld into one where Vjuga Ljet Duj begun with a moment when nestling will begin to see, and then their
Mothers give clear statements. Tightly wrapped it soars down, like a raven and enters the House through the roots. It is a
journey-exploration and proclaiming each of 9 lines stated in Circle. With deep vibrations we enchant the symbols seen in dreams and
ask the people who never spoken using words. Rough ritual ambient sung by voices of three worlds animals and shaped
in acoustic-analog form. Iron percussion, loud words of caves and dimensions wrapped in smoke scent. We look after and
expect, glorify the Law a song with inexhaustibility of form and content. 8-sided red paperboard booklet with insert. *19 copies include 4 colored A5 inserts.

Final part of two-piece opus from L.A.D.O is out now on Vetvei! CD-R contains best fragments of artists night performance, as heard by guests of annual forest open-air festival Systo Togethering 2007. Album starts with sounds of body moving into forest – human breathes, moves and hears approaching drone and rustles. Lazy sun sets and inner space of sleep rise. L.A.D.O blindfolds the listener and leads him\her into the deep caverns and shallow waters. Listener follows the pulse of branches and joins procession of glowworms and fireflies to find his\her inner space. Speaking of style – second part of series is still a trademark psychedelic drone ambient canvas embroided with analog and digital soaring sounds, sometimes turning into undanceable experimental trance with radio signals and shamanic songs. Evgeniy Savenko uses loops, vinyl records, musique concrete and voice to create his well-known frost-tinged drones. In general the record done in Biosonar style – structured, colorful, complex and more bright than many well-known and average releases on drone scene. The cover in gold and gray waxed paper cover with herbal Vetvei-style artwork and 3 photos from the shores of Cold Spring. Each copy has individual cardboard package with 3 inserts.
March third release of Vetvei label is a First Part of Lunar Abyss Deus Organum two-part opus “Spring

the listener along the shores of mythic rivers, where sleepy animals dream of alchemy and voices of Nature. Flowing, trance inducing
deep ambient, an attempt to tell the story of shamanic trip. Each copy has individual cardboard package with 3 inserts.
We announce first Release of new Vetvei label - the second album of Vresnit. It sounds like north archaic droning sonic tarpertry inspired
by natural symbolism. Dancing trees, singing birds chtonic beasts following the everturning wheel of Cycle. Days, nights,
seasons, conditions and births walk in lines. Low, reverb drowned, drums and lightweight flutes, percussion and distant,
beckoning voices. Strange rythm goes through numerious shimmering acoustic surfaces - curved branches and veined
leaves intervowen. "Soar like a bird!" - whisper They to dreamy traveller, passing through woods and careless swimmer,
diving into unknown. Wind raises the eyes and hands of the wanderer, harsh blizzards crave his hands with the letters
of everlasting Knowledge and names of every living thing... Reviewers compare this record with early albums of
Lunar Abyss Quartet - "Ferrous water", "Cosmolagamm"a and the films of Ingmar Bergman - "Seventh seal" and "Virgin Spring". Triple brown paperboard envelope, 4 cards.
Vresnit presented its first CD-release contained ecstatic & exploring records made in the fall of 2008 and remastered in winter-spring 2009. Vresnit is the project of one man working for artistic embodiment of the creative rotation within the label Vetvei. He was formerly known as ruler of Kerpg label, Pugna, Vagranok, Nrodum and other projects, now ceased their activities. Deaf thickets and swamps, heaven ravines, lost voices, unseen birds. Eternal mosses, lichens, fog and ancient trees. The path lies deeply through the thickets and higher to the sun, meeting with ancient human-animals, keepers of the Book. Majestic and archaic canvas neither begins nor ends, woven by the Sledge of Three-Worlds-Animals. The Words of scratches, beats, rings and rustles - all goes into vibrating flow of crudely woven muscarinic Shamanic Drone Ambient atmosphere. Tunvet appears as primitive experience for co-breathing with Earth, diving into the twilight forest and flowing into its beyond. Slow and endless movement in a Circle that appears as Eternal Order. A Myth of the World-Man Creation, a dreamflight, a meeting with the Forest Spirits preying on the flesh and substituting it with metal and stones, giving life to the Ancient Co-knowledge. Created using field recordings, voices and woodwinds, metal gongs, percussion and "concrete" sounds. Gripping, saturating and transforming experience of raw wind, celestial chariots and chthonic naturalism. Mastered by 121.

Second excursion of this project into the territory of Soviet past, the release of the materials recorded in summer 2008. The project line-up consists of SGI (Vresnit / Vetvei) and one of the members of Moscow-Yaroslavl trio Night Shift. 6 noise canvases dedicated to the visions of outer darkness seen through the old radio receivers and black and white photographs. To the inseparability of the dark Cosmos and bright future in the unsaid doctrines of Soviet mysticism. Flying and diving into the lost time, search for foothold, responsibility before the communist party and the people, coldness of supervisor's look and his lofty voices. In comparison to the previous release "Voz.Dukh" put out by Kerpg, this album is less dusty, it's sometimes condenses to industrial noise traditional for St. Petersburg noise wave, and sometimes disperses to manifold nuances of technogenic ambient. Fat raw sound, lots of samples and archive recordings, voices, radionoises, guitar, synths and Soviet vinyl. The last steel from cooled Vagranok. Author's artwork: full-colour photographs in typical SGI style and a signal sleeve.
