“Sound_00 (aka Toni Dimitrov) and Lefterna (aka Boban Ristevski) have been curving their way into the new experimental-music scene with their solo engagement, and also lots of collaborative releases under their belt. Exploring the dynamics of minimum vs. maximum in terms and meanings of noise vs. drone, they are searching their own way of merging magical meanings and esoteric inspiration with certain styles of music and non-music – such as ambient, field-recordings and long-form drone explorations. For collaboration №14 Christian Fennesz was an obvious influence, as well as Lawrence English, so one can expect a lot of grainy trickery here.”

“Toni Dimitrov aka Sound_00 is the man behind post global, but also cultural producer and cultural explorer, radio host and radio activist, philosopher and communicologist, poet and mountain climber as well as sound artist, dj, designer, organiser. When at home and not traveling he is doing various projects that keeps him busy, from music that is obviously the main focus of his hectic lifestyle, but also other projects including reading and writing, radio art and field recordings, organizing sound/art events, doing design. His radio programs on radio Kanal 103 are dedicated to contemporary electronic music and political discourse. The Sound_00 sound is natural soundscape from Macedonian mountains.”
“Lefterna is the music project of Boban Ristevski, concentrated and based on exploring mostly the ambient/drone and industrial/noise related kinds of music. With elements of minimalism/improvisation/abstraction etc., the music is balancing between the more structured forms and the improvised approach to music.”
