Preslav Literary School makes tape music.
Live performance involves a broadcast of radiophonic sounds using dictaphones, old cassettes, an FM3 Buddha Machine, battered transistors and various other instruments/playback devices.
The tape sounds themselves come from found cassettes, old recordings, environmental sounds and pre-recorded musical experiments.
Press
"Half way music, halfway aural investigation... the approach of Preslav Literary School results in rich textures and a specific sound that makes his tracks unique and memorable." Phlow Magazine
"...a fine balance between deconstructing itself and creating an audio-environmental soundscape that is fascinating and diverting." Ampersand Etcetera
"Like Béla Bartók with a beat up boombox." fakeindielabel
