Collection: World Music Subcollection: Songs Pagan songs of ancient Russia
world music/experimental electronics/ambient/Russia
"Volga" - is experimental noise-electronics and ambient, based on Old Russian, pagan songs and incantations of Volga region peoples. Their music is so deep and meditative that traditional Russian tunes reveal completely unknown, uninvestigated form of interaction with reality, when the world around is seen through the psychedelic perspective of traditional shamanism of our ancestors, touched by gentle undertones of folk tunes. Quite definitely, in works of «Volga» you can feel the traditions of ancient magus and sorcerers, who freely associate with the world of spirits.
Volga often tours in Russia and abroad and has also participated in different international music festivals including Burg Herzberg Open Air 2000 (Germany), SKIF-4 (St.Peterburg, Russia, 2000), Vital Water 2002 (Altai, Russia), HUH Festival in Tallinn (Estonia, 2003), The Festival of Russian Contemporary Art in Kiasma Museum in Helsinki (Finland, 2004), “Sayan Ring 2004” (Siberia, Russia), East-West Festival in Die (France, 2004).
Recorded live at the DOM club in Moscow, this ensemble of voices, electronics and acoustic instruments produces stark, beautiful and often complex music. |
