NRD DRM TWO 2022-2024 is a collection of pieces created in 2022-2024 on a Nord Drum 2, following an idea around a 1-step pattern with a changing tempo. During this period, Belorukov was amazed by how exciting various frequencies sounds at different tempo rates on this drum synthesiser. The Nord Drum 2 has six channels, and in most scenarios, even one single channel gives a lot of sound to dive into the changing tempo’s routine. Besides that, this time Belorukov was concentrating on reverberation algorithms applied to the synthesiser’s sound. Creating artificial spaces made a huge impact on music and even a small addition of reverberation deeply transforms the sound. Adjusting parameters is an endless process, and he tried to simplify it to keep the idea of making music on the spot without overthinking. No edits or additional recordings were made. After the recording, some equalisation and compression were used to complete each piece.
NRD DRM TWO 2022-2024 is now available as a limited-release CD, or to stream or download from cronica.bandcamp.com
