With their new single "ReAct", Broken Composers reaffirm their reputation as architects who refuse to play by conventional rules. The duo, comprised of Kirill Rave and Vitali Yu, has long blurred the line between music, performance, and contemporary art, and this release is no exception.
From its opening moments, "ReAct" feels less like a track and more like an experience. Built on a foundation of acid techno, the song quickly evolves into a layered, shifting piece of experimental electronica. Analogue synth improvisations surge and collapse with striking unpredictability, while the production carries a muscular clarity that anchors even the most chaotic moments. It’s the kind of work that demands not only to be heard, but to be felt physically- pulsing in the chest, disrupting rhythm, and bending perception.
What makes "ReAct" compelling is its refusal to settle. Every passage seems designed to destabilise expectations, echoing Broken Composers’ broader artistic vision of ruptures, disorientation, and metamorphosis. In doing so, the track mirrors the uncanny qualities of reality that inspire the optical illusions, cosmic events, and sensory glitches. The result is a piece that constantly shifts ground, oscillating between hypnotic grooves and moments of near-chaos, pulling the listener into an immersive dramaturgy of sound.
As the first glimpse of their forthcoming EP, it suggests Broken Composers are not merely pushing boundaries, but actively dismantling them to construct new ones.
