abandoned playgrounds by Dmitri Kourliandski 2.0

A series of collaborations where pre-recorded fragments of free improvisations are transformed into digital sonic environments — landscapes of memory and displacement.
Here, the deformed and deconstructed sounds of acoustic instruments are no longer tied to their original source; they exist as spectral echoes of themselves, hovering freely within synthetic spaces yet unable to break free from them.
Each sound carries the weight of its lost origin, a ghost of its own presence, suspended between freedom and captivity.
The familiar textures of free jazz and post-rock improvisation dissolve into stratified ambient tapestries, where fragments of melodies and rhythms emerge and vanish like distant signals.
In these spaces, movement becomes both possible and impossible, and every sound gestures toward a memory that can no longer be fully retrieved.

An alter ego of composer Dmitri Kourliandski, through which he explores the borderlands between ambient, dub techno, and IDM.
