The first single from award-winning producer and composer Giorgi Koberidze's debut LP, "𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔, 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔, π‘ͺπ’Šπ’•π’Šπ’†π’”, 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔"; head-spinning Georgian modern classical music shot through with 360Β° electroacoustic textures.

Giorgi Koberidze is an electronic and classical music composer from Georgia. He currently serves as a professor of music at Tbilisi State Conservatoire, as well as at Ilia State University, and the private music school "303 Herz". His latest experiments are mostly connected to Georgian traditional music, and the seamless fusion of electronic and classical instrument timbres. Giorgi recently won first prize in the Tbilisi Conservatoire Composers Awards, and received Georgia's most prestigious cultural gong, the Tsinandali Award.

"𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔, 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔, π‘ͺπ’Šπ’•π’Šπ’†π’”, 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔" was premiered in Georgia at the Kutaisi Film Festival, and later showcased at the Tbilisi Film Festival. Working from graphic scores, Giorgi's ensemble includes strings, woodwind and traditional instruments from the Caucasus (doli, chuniri). Fleeting voices, field recordings and skittering percussion converge to paint a storied map of Tbilisi, and its surrounding terrain of forested polyphony and microtonal peaks and crags.

This piece is designed to be absorbed in the surround sound of darkened movie theatres, like a dizzying series of sonic inkblot images. Each listen is projectively rich, conjuring a multiverse of narratives in the half-light of sensory acuity. At home, Giorgi invites listeners to set aside time to experience the record in a dark, comfortable space absent of external stimuli.

"𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔, 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔, π‘ͺπ’Šπ’•π’Šπ’†π’”, 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔" was made with the support of the Tbilisi State Conservatoire. The recordings were funded by Nicolas Jaar.
