It isn't easy to work field recordings into your music, particularly if the composition in question is a beat-oriented genre. The tendency to ramble with these found sounds, impressing your audience with your newly acquired recordings of aged, chattering women in Santiago cathedrals, forces the music into meanders that can't (and generally shouldn't) be tied down to a pulse. However, Andrey Kiritchenko's music ably marries the two worlds, offering a complex but delicate, detailed, head-nodding experience.

"Textile Heart" begins with a casual drone and subterranean sine blips, but Kiritchenko soon adds an intense textural ascent. The track slowly unfolds into something soothing and nonchalant in its journey, but driven in the process of manipulating carved-up spoken vocals and synthetic cymbals in a pattern with slightly crunkish overtones. "Army of Drums and Strings" increases the number of disparate elements and styles working in tandem: twilit crickets approach, intensify, then fall back across the stereo field, while a furious mechanic repairs his car (in sync with his radio pumping out micro-house), smacking and banging his tools around, and ultimately giving up. Russian satellite signals meet dog-walkers in the park, while stuttered bass drums and CD skipping gawk at you through the window during your morning ritual on "Rush to Take Hot Bath". On "From Morning to Evening", Kiritchenko is content to allow nature to follow its own itinerary -- under his supervision, of course. After taking in a couple minutes of seemingly independent broom sweeps, dog barks and occasional fly buzzes, you'll realize that each element is laid out in a percussive manner, carefully placed by Kiritchenko to most effectively sway your body. "Rain Through your Winter"'s close-miked torrential rain is the final piece of this rhythmic puzzle.

Although Interplays, In Between gives off the sort of cold and somber feel normally encountered with Mille Plateaux artists, Kiritchenko's choice of sounds, both organic and electronic, expands his canvas. His inventive edits give the material a unique personality, combining lustrous sonic sheen with a turbulent undercurrent of chaos. It all reaches far beyond mere cuts and clicks, to a playing field of sublimation.
