Nano-tech in music
Boris BARABANOV (Kommersant)

The creativity of the Icelandic band múm may be described in different ways. One may remember Bjork and Sigur Ros or the music tradition of Iceland as a whole. múm’s music is a perfect example of what a typical Icelandic recording should sound like. Breathtaking landscape design. Childish and girlish voices full of mystery. Ingratiating magic of simple things. Eleborate work with electronic beat in the field of melodoc folk. An absolute feeling of magic with no evil - like playing quiet games around sleeping people. This may be illustrated by the title of the song “We Have A Map Of The Piano” from the album “Finally We Are No One” (2002). There are only some songs where piano is used, but the feel of a close examination of small details through a magnifying glass is always present.

Well known producer Leonid Burlakov discovered many now-famous performers and bands such as Zemphira, Mumiy Troll, Bratya Grim. Now he's got new promising collective on his hands.

And their hard struggle on the way to the listeners is one of them.

Gogol Bordello is an American band which combines several musical styles. It was found in 1999 by Ukrainian emigrant Eugene Hutz in New York. For the most part the musicians come from near-european space: Ukraine, Russia, Israel. They are worldwide famous for their theatrical performances in-between carnival and comedy. Their music takes the impact of the Ukrainian and Russian folk tunes, Carpathian (mostly Ukrainian) and Roumanian music, backed up by accordion and violin (and on several albums even sax) and results as a compound of romance, punk, folk-rock and rock-n-roll, which the authors themselves call “gypsy punk”.

LADYTRON is not only the symbol of globalism, according to Wikipedia, but the symbol of the nowaday synthy-pop as well. The identity of Ladytron is made of tender vocals against the impassible synthy-electronics and of guitar parts, adding rock liveliness, but allowing to keep distance from the open-ended army of indie-rockers.

NOIZE MC
21st of February
Manege Kadetskogo Korpusa
20:00
In 2008 Russian music found a hope suddenly. Noize MC is almost the best happened with music industry for the last years. It isn’t important if a new talented author of the sharp cynic lyrics corresponds to rap-core, hip-hop, rock-n-roll or just pop-music. It is important that such a sincere, clear and charming music could hardly have been performed by any musicians for a long time.
