November (CD, album) is out in 2007 on Peace Technologies/Lagunamuch Community:
"November" is the first solo work of Unit 21, released on a hard copy. This is an extension of Thinner released "September-October", in a more winter and twilight version. This is the album about seclusion and remembrance. The nature of all tracks is thoughtful and contemplative. Noise of planes flying over the winter forest, trudging on the snow, rattling of trains passing stations, rustling of pages of the musicians' books.

biography:
Unit 21 (Stanislav Vdovin) is an electronic artist born in 1985 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. He studied at music and art schools, graduated the former with speciality in piano. At the age of 13 he fell in love with dance electronic music, translated by local weekly radio shows.
Since that time he tried himself in composition using digital synthesizer Ensoniq TS-10 as a sequencer. Three years later, in 2001, he got acquainted with music software, and took the name Unit 21 in 2003.
Early works, released both digitally and on vinyl, are found mostly techno and house production. Although the releases on free net-labels, like Monotonik, Sutemos, and Thinner, reveal the tendency to ambient and melodic electronica.
Autumn of 2005 is marked by close partnership with the collective Sleepy Town Manufacture, and beginning of live performances in Moscow, Izhevsk and Nizhny Novgorod.
According to creative development increasingly more attention had been devoted to sound design. Here's what Stanislav says about technical side of his creative process: "Now I work practically only with samples: digitize old vinyl, record noises on microphone, sometimes play synthesizer and bass-guitar; then I cut, stretch and mix recorded fragments. The principles of sound concentration and static composition are close to my way of thinking."
The idea of vinyl microsampling was realized by the release "September-October" (Thinner, 2006), and finally accomplished on debut disc "November" (Lagunamuch community/Peace Technologies, 2007).
From the beginning of 2006 Unit 21 takes part in publishing and promo activity of the community "Rat hole", and since 2007 engages in studies of minimal noise fields in co-operation with Anton Tcherkassov - musician and ideologist of the "Hole".
