Operating and composing music under different monikers and collaborations since early 2000's. Co- founder and curator of ''de re'' (record label ) and some other happenings for experimental, electronic and acoustic music in Georgia This experimental, electroacoustic album is unique with its concept. In the process of creating this album, Irakli made audio documentations and photographs of different spaces, to be precise, he documented the reverberation of those spaces. Parallel to that Esi started to use collected convolution algorithms for his audio tracks. The content of the accumulated work inspired him to put it in a certain structure and make a compilation, which would have a clear concept and could be identified as a completed audio work and would be represented on a certain platform. He decided to name it 41° 43' 0.001'' N / 44° 46' 59.999'' (Forty One Forty Four). These are the geographical coordinates of Tbilisi, since the entire audio material was produced in Tbilisi. The text in the first audio track is taken from a series of lectures given by John Cage titled ''Silence'' and was transformed into a poetry-spoken word by Georgian composer and artist Natalie Beridze. This audio recording is a documentation of a limit, which any hardware can have. The recording was made on a tape. Only following devices were used: Dave Smith Evolver Desktop, Korg MS20, Eventide Timefactor, Marantz PMD 201 , Moog drive, Moog phaser, Zoom H4N, Neumann KMR 81 i, various Eurorack systems.
