Welcome to the Kunstkamera!
Grundik+Slava is the long time collaboration
between Igor Grundik Kasyansky and Slava Smelovsky. They first met
in 1994 in Israeli Bar-Ilan University. Slava studied computer
science and Grundik was a poet. Very soon they found themselves
producing sounds often using intuition and chance as doubtful
substitution of knowledge and experience. Anyway it was a perfect
combination, diabolic mixture of physics and lyrics. Slava
gradually changed his life approach into the metaphysical one
(which clearly harmed his career as software engineer) and Grundik
bought his first computer. It took them five years to release their
debut album One Second before the Planet Blows Up on the
underground Jerusalem label Fact. And it took them another three
months to emerge as the key figures at the small but active Israeli
experimental and electronic scene.
In 2001 Grundik has married and
moved to New York, so now they call themselves sometimes
intercontinental project. Today Grundik+Slava continue to release albums, perform live, construct installations, write music for film, video, theatre and dance and
do other interesting things.
We are going to upload some new lossless quality music there (under "release" category). So much stuff has never left the hard drive. It is sad, so this page is a Xerox. We just want to distribute the music we made around the world in digital format. Enjoy!
We are moving there all content from this site!
