It’s winter time in Moscow, we all gathered in “DOM”, the significant place for Moscow underground and avant-garde community, where Kotä Records holds the label night. The “DOM” was founded by Nik Dmitriev, who, along with another salient figure from Leningrad, Sergey Kuryokhin, did many good things for Russian experimental scene in 80s-00s period. Including this venue, where many was playing, and as before many of international avant-garde and free-jazz individuals and bands are having their shows in Moscow. Now Vlad Dobrovolski is on the stage with his modular synthesizer, performing his show. Vlad always masterfully constructs his sound narration, and now he is getting us right there immediately from the very beginning of his set, carry us away out of “DOM”, winter in Moscow and all that and carefully land us down approximately 28 minutes later. Beautiful journey.
