Through the years, by working on the most experimental and extreme side of sound, the main idea behind Kotra‘s releases and live performances was about provoking his own and audience’s perception limits, exploring the possibilities of music to affect body and mind at the most extreme conditions, and looking at experimental music as a practice of transformation.And Radness Methods opens a new chapter of Kotra’s ongoing excessive sonic research.

Writing of Radness Methods came up from the ancient ideas of ritual drum music and rhythmic meditation techniques, where a ritual sound performance appears as a series of abstract sonic actions, rather than musical events, provoking a journey to non-ordinary states and realities, drumming a way into silence.

By layering deafening sounds into the patterns of acoustic hyperventilation, Radness Methods initiates a flow of invoking contrasting conditions and offers an artistic method of extreme urban meditation, and a fierce sonic driver for the ultimate sledgehammer dance.

Radness Methods is a shamanic ritual for the sorcerers of concrete and asphalt, an ecstatic hymn for the philosopher warriors debating the power over life and death. Blazing anthem of excellence for the no one who is just anything.
