the Kirbi- Sunport

Denis A. Fomenko records as The Kirbi. Denis hails from Barnaul, in Altai, Siberia, in Russia. His music features electronica which refuses to be bound within the narrow fetters of electro-acoustic experimentation, but instead insists upon being experienced as songs and not merely as ideas. In Sunport, The Kirbi creates a series of melodic extravaganzas which thaw the winter cold. The title Sunport refers to a Spring awakening, when the sun comes out of its winter storehouse, removes its white veil, and whispers to all that life continues. Yet this album is not some entry into metaphoric sun-fantasy land, but instead are direct, accessible and yet not-at- all-obvious works of electronica fun. The Kirbi avoids the trite pre-set maladies that can bring the wrong kind of chill to this genre, and instead launches out with rays of sun which are naive in their detailed sophistication. We here at NSI tend to drift over toward the ambient side of the ledger, but we never resist a good thaw. We hope you'll step into the sunport, and feel the warmth the Kirbi provides.

Barnaul once served as a regional mining center for silver smelting. There's a similar sense of refining precious things into new electronica in this album. The Kirbi is not an academician,but instead a self-taught musician. He is someone who lives in the real world--whether a workplace, street scene, a sunny Siberian day, or even performing at the English Club.

We're pleased to release Sunport. We also mention that the Kirbi has another netlabel release on Vorbic, which may be found at: http://www.vorbic.com/releases/vrb004/

The Kirbi would be an excellent Myspace friend to have: http://www.myspace.com/thekirbispace

We hope you'll find, as we did, that Denis Fomenko is a sunny addition to relieve your cold, Siberian nights.
