Release Information
"Gabriel Prokofiev, grandson of the great composer Sergei
Prokofiev and member of indie disco-ites Spektrum (no
seriously) returns for a second collaboration with the
Elysium Quartet, which once again finds the composer
setting about merging classical disciplines with
contemporary production techniques. This time around
Prokofiev has recruited the likes of Vex'd, Hot Chip
Starkey, Conboy and Earlyman to set about remixing the
original quartet composition, but kicking off the disc
we're treated to the four movements of the piece itself
The first two of these in particular are characterised by
a brusque staccato, jagged and lurching in all quarters
During the opening movement, the viola is played with such
severity you'd swear someone had swapped the performer's
bow for a hacksaw. Meanwhile, while just as choppy, the
second movement begins to open up towards the end
transforming into the kind of rhythmic piece that actually
might lend itself rather well to reworkings from the
aforementioned lineup of beat manglers. The Conboy track
brings a mild percussive element to the table, preserving
much of the original detail, while Vex'd is predictably
less reverent, slamming down some padded bass sounds and
vicious weeps. Next, Marcus Lancaster eschews using
outright beats right until the final thirty seconds or so
instead choosing to contort the string sounds into a right
old mess. Prokofiev's own remix is one of the best, filled
with diced-up granular edits and house-styled percussiion
and Hot Chip go even further down this route to produce
some very disciplined string quartet disco, as only they
could. A very weird album by any measure, but against all
odds it works tremendously well. Highly Recommended."
