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. |

Subcollection: Traditional "White Owl" is a Russian folk-core group, created in Moscow, who play music of different nations adapted in various styles. Since the tastes of the musicians don't belong to the same genre their arrangements are mixtures of such traditions as Alternative, Indie, Hard Rock, Hardcore, Disco, Folk Tradition and even Renaissance. The ways some folk standards such as "Lord of the Dance" or "Cunla" are presented can be taken for a joke. And this is true - it was a joke at first but then the WO found that the idea was well enough for taking it seriously. |

Subcollection: Traditional Karelian folk
This CD called "Osa poika Onni poika" ("onni poika" means "happy man")was released as a present for 20th anniversary of this interpret's activity.
Apart from the fact that this is his first solo album, Sevets, the interpret himself,
doesn' t find this CD as a top of his many years time work.Masterpieces presented in "happy man" are just a very small part of hiswhole task, which was made by him. Songs have folklore lyrics. Songs are interpreted in Karelic language. Sevets was seeking these songs in songbooks, which were made by Finns.He was setting to music those lyrics, which really impressed him.
The music, which was composed for those songs was composed by Sevetshimself. In some cases, the composer conserved the folklore version ofthose songs. |
