about

Created in different circumstances between 2019 and 2024, the new album "Quadrat" by the artist and curator Kaspars Groševs' project "Figures" embodies the creative processes of the artist's daily life between his activities as a painter, running Gallery 427, teaching, writing and creating and DJ-ing music, which has been present in Groševs' work since the late 1990s. The track "deepoacean", which appears on the album in both a Ritunsiic rework and a muuzis remix, uses samples from Groševs’ early electronic music recordings, preserved on cassettes. The use of limited sound sources can also be heard in the remix of Irish artist Vivienne Griffin's unreleased "The Great Unnow", which uses a sample from the original composition that is only a few seconds long and turns it into a hypnotically atmospheric dub. "Zhilet" and "Nyeve" were created on an old iPhone SE while being bored in a Kiev Airbnb on the eve of 2020. The album's two opening tracks became the soundtrack for Kaspars Groševs' video work "on the way to bolderāja..." for the 2022 exhibition Blue Bay House, created in collaboration with sculptor Evita Vasiljeva. The video's title track was created in a jam session with Bobijs Velns, also known as a member of the Bēdu Brāļi and Kasetes.
