In a collaboration lasting several days in Novi Sad, Belorukov & Zlanabitnig explored the acoustic and electronic sound combinations of their instruments as well as ambiental sounds and field recordings in the immediate surroundings of the city. This was not just a direct musical collaboration. Ilia and Sara integrated their sounds into the spaces in which they were played in, be it the studio_kuda.org, the museum acoustics or the Peace Chapel. The musicians developed different approaches through a common language of free improvised music in real time. But 'Binus' was not yet complete.
After the recording sessions, they selected material to work with and created five multi-layered, multi-dimensional pieces. They went from a dry space and acoustics to a much larger space with many reflections. They used multiple instrumental tracks mixed with various field recordings. They made a transition from the electronic sound of a live concert to the form of an acoustic duo. So the music on the CD is not only the documentation of this short residency of the duo but also the result of a post-production process that will lead the artists to new ideas for the future.
