Beyond Sense by Kotlovan
The new EP, “Beyond Sense”, features four spontaneous, improvisational, neo-classical, piano-driven tracks. Inspired and influenced by Erik Satie, Brian Eno, Rock in Opposition groups (Henry Cow, Art Bears, Aksak Maboul, Etron Fou Leloublan), and piano ambient works of Aphex Twin. Blending conventional and unconventional instruments with effects and loops, the EP offers a genre-defying sound for listeners seeking something truly unique.
