civyiu kkliu + ilya monosov cartolina postale

More 'trouble' I had with the release of Civyiu Kkliu and Ilya Monosov - both gained some reputation for some of the more conceptual outings in music. In 2002 already they recorded some improvisations together. Monosov plays a music box and toothpicks, whereas Kkliu plays blank vinyl and a metal object. "The duration and nature of the work corresponds to the small/intimate/charged space of a postcard. Postcards as artifacts of place/time/memory/distance/immediate impressions, etc. frame (sound-) text in interesting ways" they write, and the release is packed on a postcard. The music is utterly soft. I put it in my computer, normalized at zero DB and it's still soft, but a lot more hissy. Rumbling about is the best description I can come up. I have no idea what this means. The two of them mess about for some twenty-three minutes and left me completely puzzled. I am sure I missing a conceptual edge here entirely.
