IHOR    TSYMBROVSKY

Kontakt Audio and Infinite Fog Productions proudly present the 25-th anniversary reissue of the one of most unique albums on avantgarde/neoclassic music – Ihor Tsymbrovsky – Come, Angel.Recorded in 1995 in Ukraine and released in 1996 just as a small run on cassette on Polish label Koka Records, the album without any promotion little by little became legendary and madly wanted by many fans all around the world. And from the first seconds, you can hear why it is so. Pretty hard to explain what songs play Ihor, moreover that would be senseless. “Come, Angel” is one of those albums which are so unique that takes you in a vacuum of verbal forms in an attempt to describe the record. In a few words, this is definitely very intimate and deeply emotional music with an absolutely incredible voice. The first associations could forward you to Antony Hegarty from Antony And The Johnsons, Marc Almond, Arthur Russell, Baby Dee, Bjork. Experienced listener familiar with these great artist knows that all of them are inimitable and Ihor Tsymbrovsky is totally inimitable as well.

Boomkat Product Review:

The magicians at Düsseldorf’s Offen Music pluck a madly beguiling pearl of late night songcraft by Ukraine’s Ihor Tsymbrovsky to follow their vital releases by Toresch and Rex Ilusivii.

Come Angel was first recorded in Lviv, Ukraine, 1995, and issued on cassette by Poland’s Koka Records in 1996. There appears to be no prior mention of the release or artist on the internet and quite how it came into of Offen Music possession is not disclosed, and that only ratchets the record’s enigma to astonishing degrees once you’ve heard the music.

In a quivering, high register, androgynous trill, Ihor Tsymbrovsky beckons heavenly beings in the remarkable A-side Come, Angel against a swirling backdrop of phasing, subtly delayed organ. It was recorded in one take (this is the 2nd version), and, if we’re not mistaken, you can hear the keys being pressed rhythmically in the background, which seems to be the song’s only tangible connection to this mortal world as Ihor vaults octaves high and close-in-the-mix with the sort of alien, dreamlike vocal that require pinching oneself to make sure you’re awake. Spellbinding is definitely the word.

On the other side he (we’re assured it is a ‘he’ in the promo text) sets two poems by Mykola Vorobyov and Mykhal Semenko, respectively, to emphatic piano keys, this time more shy of FX save for some delay, placing that willowing, avian vocal at a dreamy arms reach in Roses for the Poet, and with a sort of liturgical dark jazz feel, sorta like Lewis repenting his sins as a castrato monk, in the spare atmosphere in By the Sea.

This is gold-seal business, we tell ya. Clock the clips and clear some swooning room.

Born in L'viv, 1962. Finished piano classes in music school and the architectural faculty of L'vivs' polytechnic university. Architect, artist, poet, musician. Is the author of original architectural projects, a participant of multiple art exhibitions, and a couple Biennales. His presented piece “The Rebellion of Angels”, 1994 (canvas, oil paints, 160 x 210 cm) is a reflection of the original art style of the author, formed at the start of the 1990s, in which lies the author's method of organizing the colour spectrum. It’s symbolic, that in the same period (1995), the album “Come Angel” was also recorded, which crystalized the authors' musical searches from the late 1980s and they remain to be topical to this day. The album was recorded for a promo-tour, which happened during the spring in Berlin, Germany. In 1996, the album was published under the Warszawan label “KOKA Records”. During the following years, Tsymbrovsky went on tours in Poland and presented his album in Ukraine during concerts and festivals. During this time, two new compositions were recorded during the concerts: N/T in Gorzów (Poland) and Sous le Pont Mirabeau in L’viv (Ukraine). In 1998 Ihor started a cooperation with the drummer Taras Mel’nychenko, which is still present to this day. In the year 2000, the album “INTERMEZZO 2000” was written. After a break from the music world, which lasted ten years, Tsymbrovsky returned to his music career. Today, his music activity lies in the creation of new compositions as well as in interpreting his own grand musical material that contains the lyrics of Vasyl Symonenkos', Mychail Semenkos', Mykola Vorobyovs', Bohdan Ihor Antonychs' and others' poetries. The last two concerts happened in 2018 and 2019, in the Berlin club “Hoppetosse” and on the opening of an independent Moscow club “Mutabor”. Right now, he's working on the preparation for the recording of a new English album with the working title “Sparrow”, consisting of compositions with the lyrics of Mykola Vorobyovs. The author sings his own compositions (original or translated) based on different poetries of Ukrainian poets, as well as his own works and the works of other specific authors, in Ukrainian, English, French, and Polish.
