about

Free improvisations in the frame of lo-fi jazz rock for one man band. Vintage tones of Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes, overdriven guitar and synths are woven into a story of search and melancholy, discovery and joy. This album is a litlle bit nostalgical retrofuturistic rediscovery of jazz rock blended with contemporary methods of digital sound production.

Yuri Vinogradov explains the title of the album: "Nobody invited me to music, nobody believed in me and didn't teach me systematically, they'd told me that I had lack of talent and had to do something else, so I came to it myself. They ignored me, but my music is gaining more power over time even if there ain't many listeners. Music is my bright voice in an oppressive dusty silence, statement of my own being. So I'm kind of a pretender and I'm proud of it".

Hollow/Out
by KAVver.

Immersive improvisational and experimental noise-rock for chaotic evening reflections and monochrome dreams. Very thick and dense music. EllektraJazz

The Double
by Petyaev-Petyaev

Extreme tenderness and radical love from restlessness, noise and rage. The fruits of meaning on the branches of the tree of the absurd. Truly melodic and at the same time contemplative free jazz. EllektraJazz

Hydromantia
by Yuri Vinogradov

Songs of the light gleams in the streams of water. Piano solo impromptu in the spirit of abstract impressionism. EllektraJazz
