about

The Eysenck Suites I-IV explore the psychology of Hans Eysenck's four temperamental categories and the emotions they encompass, a project that the British Psychological Society have already endorsed in their review here: thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/finding-melancholic-balance.

'The Eysenck Suite II - Choleric' is the next instalment of this experimental aural jigsaw puzzle and is focused on the Russian Linesman's musical interpretation of the choleric temperament that is characterised by an anxious and sometimes aggressive temper, resulting in restless behaviour that eventually gives way to periods of impulsive and optimistic activity. As a visual reference point, the Linesman has selected one of his travelogue photographs taken at an abandoned communist prison in Tallinn (Estonia) as the artwork for this release. This EP is not intended to be a comforting listening experience.

“I have tried to encapsulate that feeling of things starting to spiral out of control. Delayed homeward bound train journeys… Over-caffeinated fidgeting in confined spaces… Standing in the snow too long on a cold October night… Existing in our media bubbles, our horizons narrower than ever before. This EP is going to try and take its pound of flesh, just like the choleric temperament does.” – Russian Linesman

A reviewer recently described the Russian Linesman as a "modern day composer". He has become a somewhat cult figure over the past eleven years, crossing paths with other mavericks such as James Holden, Nathan Fake, Ryan Davis, Applescal and Laurent Garnier, along the way. His latest series of EPs has already seen the enigmatic artist receive support and plaudits from a disparate collection of respected DJs and Producers, including ‘Mercury Prize’ nominated Maps (Mute), BBC 6 Music’s Nemone, Simon Mills (of Bent fame), Max Cooper, Steve Miller (Afterlife), Nick Warren (on his ‘Sound Garden’ radio show), C-Jay (Bedrock), Samy Birnbach (DJ Morpheus), and Quivver (on John Digweed’s ‘Transitions’ radio show). The Russian Linesman also now hosts a monthly radio show on Bloop London (blooplondon.com/shows/russian-linesman/), playing a multifarious mix of his favourite music from the past, present and future.
