Modern Music from the cultural melting pot: Asia meets Europe meets the Orient in the Transcaucasian republic of Georgia.
Against the background of a very old culture of Georgian folk music, modern Georgian musicians started creating electronic music when examples of this kind of music first approached the country in the late 1980s. They began mostly with imitations of new wave, the new romantics and the typical synthy sound of that time. The 90s then brought computers and internet and also the end of the Soviet Union of which Georgia was a part. Since then, Georgian musicians got the opportunity to visit western countries. They brought home new experiences and also the technical know-how of making this kind of music. A characteristic style was developed, which is striking for the whole genre of Georgian Electronic Music apart from its different branches: bizarre and exotic mixtures of western influences combined with elements of Georgian Folk Music, which itself contains the whole variety of rudiments of Asian, Oriental as well as European music. Multicultural melodies meet the artificially designed sounds of electronic machines, strongly influenced by jazz and individually mixed by the various artists. A very special musical experience! - Still, electronic music is very underground in Georgia. Most of the artists are involved in other musical projects apart from electronic music and many of them are visual artists as well as musicians. Now its time to free this music from being an interesting side project!
New Georgian Aesthetics is the first step to present Georgian Electronic Music to the world. Various approaches to this genre are gathered on this album and offer a survey of fancy soundscapes. Melodies and atmosphere created somewhere between the Black and the Caspian Sea worth to conquer the rest of the world.
