about

Obkhod (transliteration of the Russian word meaning "detour") is an action of soft slipping away, as well as an action of avoiding severe and hostile areas. Obkhod is a continuing invention, it is also a manoeuvre, when you choose to trick rather than to be tricked. It is an ongoing generation of possible ways that can be taken to get to the destination, an imaginary map that continues to unfold.

Moving further to the industrial, menacing and liminal, Lusia Kazaryan-Topchan seems to pass by different locations. We are taken to these places with her, whether they are still real or not. Lusia keeps to pursue her interest in traditional Armenian music along with intense disarming industrial and rough electronics, which creates bizarre sense of being out of any particular time, while cultural references remain quite explicit. Like some sort of dark wizard, she combines electroacoustic pieces with powerful reworked rhythms of her origin culture, passing by a popular song with catchy lyrics, and field recordings made in a place that is between real and unreal – as soon as it is marked on the journey's map. Throughout this evolving journey, Lusia avoids direct paths and prefers slipping with the indeterminate. Miscellaneous, her second full-length album refuses to be defined once and forever. It is an invention, generative, related to the factual – but resisting its certainty and completeness.
